Baby names???

Help!! I can't believe it is coming to this, but I can't decide on a stinkin' name! Here is my problem. It has to be one that both Logan and I like, we don't have to be in LOVE with it, just both be in agreement that it is OK. Here is our other criteria: we would like it to be an old fashioned name that is also current. We have a Grace, a Claire (but we call her Libby), and a Leah. Oh, and it cannot start with an 'L.' Another thing to consider is that her middle name will be Mary. So - if you have any ideas - please put your two cents in.


PS - We have tentatively chosen Avery, in case we don't come up with something different in the meantime. But it really is more of a "current" name.... aargh!

I vote for Rhiannon- very old celtic name. Rhiannon Mary sounds nice I think.

You could call her Rhiannon, Rhia, Ann...

This is Gareth by the way

A couple in our ward just named a girl Emerson and they are going to call her Emmie. I think that is a cute name. Emerson Mary Beach has a nice ring.

Having just had a girl and not getting to use so many of the names I wanted...here are a few. I was looking for something not common, but definitely feminine and did run into a lot of older ones.

Charlotte (I really like this one)
Harmony
Henley
Miriam
Georgia

Ruth
Tabitha (seriously it came down to this or Gillienne : )
Samantha
Genevieve
Maddynn (I made that one up)
Wynn Or Wynny

And I can't remember any more. Good luck it is sooo fun to name kids! And I totally felt desperate this time as well. I never thought I wouldn't be able to name a child...

Are you still taking votes here? :)
I was just reading over the lists given and there are a lot of good names. I love Mary as a middle name...it is kind of hard to match a first name too though, isn't it?
I really liked the idea of Rebecca Mary. I tend to like names from the bible apparently...turns out I named all three of my kids from the bible without really realizing it! You could even go old school and spell it Rebekah.
Abigail Mary would be pretty. (There i go with the bible again)
I think a longer first name to offset the shorter middle and last names would flow nicely...for some reason I get really rhythmic when thinking of baby names haha.
I am sure you guys will find just the right name for your sweet little one by the time she comes. :)

P.S. I know I still owe you an email...I am horrible.
