Need Some Girl Name Advice

Hi Mamas!!

I just found out that I am expecting a little girl. I am so excited, this will be our second daughter. We have been throwing a few names around, and I was just wondering if I could get some suggestions out there. The middle name is set, it's just the first name that I'm a little unsure of. The middle name(s) is going to be Linda Hiroko (After our mothers). I was thinking either Emily or Kaitlyn. But both are sort of common, and I don't want her to be in classes with other girls with the same name. My oldest daughter's name is Brooklyn. I don't think that she'll be able to ever find her name in novelty items and I don't want her to feel left out if her younger sister can.

So if anyone out there can help with a first name that isn't too common and would go with the middle names, I would love to hear the suggestions. My husband likes names that start with "K".

Thanks in advance,

L.

What can I do next?

I hear you about the novelty items and sibling rivalry aspect. My daughter Madeline is excited the few times she finds items. My little Elliot is always dissapointed though and gets mad when she has something and he doesn't.

Here are my ideas:
Kiera
Kiana
Kiara
Kaylee
Kimora
Kimari
Katriana
Katrina
Karen
Kari
Karla
Kimberly
Kylie

The middle name is beautiful. I also like both names you chose for the first name...Kaitlyn was really popular a few years ago, but becoming less so. To me it sounds very fun and sweet. Emily supposedly is really popular, but I only know one little girl personally. I think it is feminine and classic. If your husband likes K names...what about Kayla, Kylee or Kiana? PS Love your daughter's name..growing up I always pretended my middle name was Lynn :)

Well, since your not in the same state as me, you can name your daughter after mine if you want! LOL
Just Kidding, but seriously though my daughter's name is "Kiana" (kee-ah-nah) and everyone loves it - plus it starts with a K and is not all that common!! :D
Good luck!!

We have a 3 year old brown-eyed girl named Brooklyn. We're planning to continue the city theme with our future children. Some of our favorites are:
Charlotte
Madison
Cambria
There aren't many K cities tho...I just googled it.

Not sure if it goes with your middle name but a friend named their daughter Kia Its pernounced with a long I sound.

Since you have such a long middle name deal going I would give her something short. It rolls off the tongue better and makes it easy to learn when you are little. Kia was a nice suggestion, but you may want to go with one syllable. Names sound the best when you use different syllables from name to name. Some old fashioned ones like Kay or Kit are not being over used at the moment.

I had trouble naming my third! He was one of those BC surprises LOL I had my second child only 14 months before my third, so I was not ready for any more babies and I put off EVERYTHING in preperation for #3! I had no names for him at all, I was sitting in the hospital labor and delivery room, dialated to 8-9 and BAM decided on Corey, went in for an emergency C section (major trouble with baby #3) anyway out came my greatest gift IAN LMOA. Not sure where the name even came from, but that is what we understood his name to be. Turns out that it means 'A gift from God" and that is exactly what he is! So do not panic about your daughter's name just yet, maybe it will just come to you when you see her for the first time. Congrats on the newest gift to your family! Bless you all!

Try going with a name that reflects the "culture" or ethnic background of you or your husband. Then there will be a personal link and appreciation of their name, since it is their heritage.

That is what we did with our children.
