We are having a hard time choosing a name for our baby girl. She will have a big brother named Emmett Quinn. Our last names starts with K and ends with -ER. We like names that are different, but not weird. We also tend toward 2-syllable names.
Here are a few ideas:
Alice Audra Beatrix Corinne Daisy Daphne Della Gemma Georgia Greta | Hazel Helen Iris Lila Lucia Martha Mona Myra Nella Olive | Petra Polly Rhea Roma Ruby Shirley Stella Sylvie Tilda Willa |
The name Emmett was most popular around the turn of the (last) century, so I found many of these by scanning the Social Security Administration’s lists of popular baby names from random years in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Do you like any of the above with Emmett? What other names would you suggest to Teresa?
