Baby girl names debate, any suggestions

Question

My husband and I are in a deadlock on a name for our baby girl (due next week), his suggestions in the past have bordered on ludicrous. He has an issue with her having the same first name as anybody in his family, or anybody he has ever met, and his family is freaking huge so options are limited. I like more traditional old fashioned names. We have agreed to the name Samantha, even though apparently my mother has an overweight, smelly cat by that name he agreed to it. I think the name is sweet, he wants the middle name Rose, I like Mary or Marie. Any feedback?

Answer 1

i think that samantha rose and samantha marie sound good

but you could combine them and name her samantha rosemary

Answer 2

I think Samantha is a gorgeous name for a baby! As for middle names how about you use both Rose and Marie/Mary? It could be Samantha Marie Rose, Samantha Mary Rose (even though the name Mary Rose reminds me of the Tudor Ship), Samantha Rose Marie or Samantha Rose Mary.

Out of all them I'd go for either Samantha Marie Rose or Samantha Rose Marie.

Marie is a French name which means "Sea of Bitterness"

Rose is an English name which means "The Rose Flower"

Samantha is an American name which means/is "A Combined Name"

Mary is a Hebrew name which means "Sea of Bitterness" too

Hope this helps

Answer 3

out of Rose and Marie or Mary, i'd choose Rose. Samantha is a long first name. I think it needs something short to compliment it.  

Answer 4

I like Samantha its a beautiful classic name. I think Samantha Rose sounds good together, and I also like Samantha Marie (not so much Mary).  Good luck, whichever you decide they both sound great! If you chose the name Samantha I would let your husband choose the middle name since it is not a bad choice anyhow!

Answer 5

Samantha Rose is my favorite.

Samantha Marie sounds good though too!

Samantha Irene, Samantha Elaine, Samantha Isabel - Sound good too!

Good Luck!

Answer 10

I like Samantha Rose it sounds very traditional. I also like Chelsia and Aubrey Rose..just some ideas..good luck!!! My husand and I are in that same boat but I still have a few months to go:)

Answer 11

I think the name Samantha Marie will be a great name.. good luck  

Answer 12

I like the names (Middle and First) Rose Marie and Margret (Maggie) Ann.  

Answer 13

sami rachel

Answer 14

I like Samantha Marie best!  

Answer 15

I like Samantha Rose...........

However I think  naming your child knowing an animal in the immediate family shares that name is yucky!

Answer 16

Samantha Rose rolls off the tongue, but i feel you when you mention a fat smelly cat having the same name.  Samantha Marie is pretty too, I like that combo a bit better as well.  GL, dont forget to make yourself relax, I know that sounds weird but I went through labor for 26 hours and Im pretty sure it wouldve been shorter had I not been so tense:)  OH and if youre getting an epidural, the moment you start to feel like the pain has been getting pretty intense, tell the doc to get your epidural ready, because they take a LONG time with that.

Answer 17

Samantha Rosemary

Answer 18

I like

Samantha Marie

Samantha Rose

-Cassie(:

Answer 19

You can do Samantha Rosemary.  That's cute

Answer 20

Samantha Rosemary

Both chices on middle name

Samantha is a very pretty name

and

Samantha Rosemary

sounds Great xx

Answer 21

I dont like Mary. It doesnt flow well.

It would be nice if you could tell us your last name, that way to make sure it flows well.

Right now i am going to go with Rose, but it might change if I knew your last name.  

Answer 22

LOL your husband sounds funny

Answer 23

Samantha is a cute name but why do you need a middle name? Its not used at all so I'd just go with Samantha.

Answer 24

Maybe you should try and name your daughter something a little different and less common. Samantha is a nice name though. Here are some suggestions...

Stella

Erin

Quinn

Rae

Malia

Shawna

Amelia

Devon

Elizabeth

Katherine

Kaleigh

                    You could also combine names together. Hopefully this helped. P.S. I didn't have a lot of old fashioned names..because of names like Mable. Also look at the meaning of names. Sometimes this will change your opinion.  

Answer 25

sarah grace?

Answer 26

samantha marie is my 1st pick, 2nd is samantha rose

Answer 27

I think that since you picked the first name that he should have some input on the middle name.  I really like Samantha Rose Mary (Last Name).  My grandmother's name was Rose Mary and I never knew it was two separate names until her funeral, so you would both get the names you want and it would not be a painfully long name.

Answer 28

Samantha Mary doesn't sound good,

Samantha Marie is way over used as a middle name,

Samantha Rose is perfect.

Answer 29

Samantha Rose

Samantha Paige

Samantha Lynn

Samantha Beth

Samantha Elle

Samantha Anne

Samantha Marie

Samantha Taylor

Samantha Faith

Hope these help and good luck!
