A reader named Bridgette is having twin girls in October and would like some name suggestions.
The plan is to use the babies’ grandmothers’ names, Eileen and Patricia, as middle names. So Bridgette and her husband are interested in names that sound good in front of either Eileen or Patricia. (Especially Patricia–that’s the one they’re having a hard time with.)
Here are the names currently under consideration:
|
Alice Amelia |
Corinne Gwyneth |
Juliette Margot |
Paige Renee |
Sabrina Shannon |
Bridgette and her husband like different types of names (i.e. one likes unisex, the other prefers feminine, etc.) so it sounds like they’re open to all sorts of suggestions–so long as the suggestions work with Eileen and/or Patricia.
Finally, here’s a cute observation Bridgette made:
Husband’s mostly Irish and says he’d like an Irish name, but seems to gravitate toward French sounding names.
Sounds like she knows him better than he knows himself. :)
Here are some of the name ideas I had, to kick things off:
|
Camille Celeste Charlotte Claire Clarice Daphne Darcy Edith Elise Esme |
Eve/Eva Frances Grace Hannah Jocelyn Judith/Judy Kelly Lucille/Lucy Mabel Maeve |
Marie Meredith Michelle Molly Naomi Nicole Opal* Penelope Rachel Romana |
Rosie Ruth Sabine Sadie Simone Suzanne Sylvie Tara Vivian/Vivienne Yvonne |
*It’s the birthstone for October, so I had to throw it in.
Which of the above do you like best? See any good pairings? What other names and name pairings would you suggest to Bridgette?

Baby Born During Cooking Class, Named After Barley
On 17 September 1984, cooking instructor Diane Avoli was in the middle of teaching her students how to make stuffed cabbage when she went into labor.
She gave birth to a baby girl–her seventh daughter–just a few minutes later.
After the birth, the cooking students helped Diane and her husband choose a name. Here’s how Diane explained it:
The baby was named Kristen Pearl.
(According to Diane’s bio on the Kushi Institute faculty page, she has eight children. I’m really curious to know if baby #8 was a boy or a girl.)
