Don't give your DD a name that people will shorten to "Bad".


Agree with this. OP if you like Mallory, what about Valerie? It's as close to your style as Mallory is without the strong 80s vibes and "Mal" nickname.

What difference does it make? Jane doesn't exactly go with the others, so go with what you like. It's not like they will go around their entire lives introducing themselves en masse.


It is a bit more casual than the others, definitely not a centuries-old royalty name. But if you pick another one of those, together they all seem kinda stuff and dol fashioned. I think Mallory really lightens things up. I like Margot too.

I think Mallory is fine. It's not like you are naming her Piper or Harper--it's still a more classic name.

I like Mallory a lot! Margot is probably my favorite M though.

It’s interesting that Mary doesn’t have a longer English version. Marianne is too French. All we have is Marilyn. Or merrylin or marilynn.

You have a Jane so maybe just Mary is just fine.


You could do Margaux.

We're finding it really hard to pick a name that hasn't already been used by one of our siblings or very close friends. We like: Katherine, Emma, Grace, Sophie, and Charlotte but they're all being used by a sibling or close friend whom we see all the time.

I like Lydia but Dh is meh on it. Dh also has a weird thing about not wanting the girls to have names that start with the same first letter. So we couldn't have an Eliza and an Eleanor, for instance. He thinks they sound too similar.

Any help?


Absolutely everyone knows hundreds of all the names you’ve listed. You already have extremely common names. I know at least seven of each. Why not just pick another one of the ones you like, it keeps with the theme.

Matilda! Or Julia if you don't mind another J. Or Mary with something more modern, like Mary-Hailey or Mary-Olivia.
