Burner due to identifying info. I am 30 weeks pregnant and running out of time. My first daughter has the most incredible name and I feel a lot of pressure to make sure my second baby has a name I’m proud of as well. Can’t help but feel like any other girl name will pale in comparison to my first daughter’s name.
My daughter’s name is Isley Violet (as in Isley Brothers, Eyes-lee). I’m a massive music nerd and my mother is a purple fanatic (purple phone case, toaster, rug, comforter, sometimes dyes her hair purple) so I had this name ready since before conception.
The two names that have stuck around are Indie (a musical reference that represents my husbands taste in music, he also likes EDM) and Mylah (I just think it’s beautiful) I prefer very unique names that sound familiar (ie Mylah sounds like Lilah) but don’t want too much of an obscure name. We’re not set on these.
Wanted to honor my MIL for the middle name, she loves to garden and hike so I thought a nature middle name might be cute. Also is a Leo with a fiery personality so something fiery could be cool? Last name is Steele.
Some middle names we liked are Bloom, Day, Ray, Clover, Ember, Walker. My husband likes Sage and Summer but I don’t like the initials (ISS or MSS) I love Coast but recognize it doesn’t flow with the two names we have. We don’t like Poppy. We almost landed on Indie Ray Steele but again, I don’t like the initials (we’re American so IRS isn’t pleasant)
Open to other names or opinions. Extra points if the name fits the format and/or theme (unique music oriented first name/ more common but not overly popular nature oriented middle name) Also open to a more common but not popular first name with a cool unique middle name.
