baby girl # 3 name

Good afternoon all!  I need a little advice on a name for our baby # 3... I'm overwhlemed with boy names so I won't even go there... we have taken a liking to old fashioned names.  We already have a Molly Christine and a Lucy Catherine.. can you all nicely give me some input? 

 Our last name ends in -sky and I'd like this baby's name to end in a -y as well.. we are due July 8th 2013!

Thanks!

Wendy
Penny
Suzy
Josy/Jozy (Does this look funny to end in Y instead of IE?)
Ruby --> I think Ruby and Lucy are too similar but I love Ruby!
Avery
Emily 
Trudy
Tilly

Right now our frontrunner is Josy but I'd love some other thoughts!
Thank you ladies!

I like a lot of your names but they are mostly nicknames.  Molly and Lucy are more stand alone names.

Of those you listed, I think Wendy, Ruby and Emily can stand alone.   I like Wendy the best, honestly - different without being out there.

I don't care for Josie at all but your spellings of Jozy and Josy look really bad.

 

Also - we are nice, but honest.  Don't tell us how to post.  You are only going to tick people off.

I have a Josie (spelled this way) but her full name is Josephine, so that naturally gets my vote.

I do agree with the PP that said most of the names you have listed are nicknames, which is fine, but it makes it difficult to pick.

 For instance, I adore Trudy, but I believe this is a nn for Gertrude, which I dislike.  

I guess my pick from your above list would be Emily.


Good luck.

From your list I like Ruby, Wendy and Emily, in that order

Jozy and Josy are pretty bad.

Thank you ladies!

 

I actually like all of your names.  I don't mind that they sound like nicknames.  To me, name your kid what you want.  If you don't like the long version, just stick with the nickname.  I know a guy named Tony - not Anthony, just Tony.  So what?

Something about Josy looks unfinished.  Maybe Josey?  I do prefer it with the -ie ending though.  Josy makes me want to pronounce it Jahs-ee instead of Joe-sie.

I don't think Ruby is too close to Lucy, but it's not my favorite from your list.

My favorites are probably Wendy, Penny and Avery.  I don't mind Penny as a stand-alone name instead of Penelope.

Not a fan of Wendy, Suzy, Trudy or Tilly.  Josy/Jozy is awful, but I like Josie as a nn for Josephine.

Avery is okay.  I like Emily.  My favorite would be Ruby.  I also like PP's suggestion of Audrey.

Thank you all for your input!  That seems to be my problem now.. I would like to find a name that isn't a nickname (Penny) but that is still pretty short and ends in a Y... I know Josy looks funny but my husband has really taken a liking to the name..

Our older family members already spell Molly "Mollie" and Lucy "Lucie" so I think adding a name that's actually spelled "Josie" will screw up everyone! lol

 Ruby and Penny remain at the top of my list... thanks!

My faves from your list are Ruby, Avery, and Emily. But I agree that Ruby is a little too similar to Lucy. I think Emily fits best with your other daughters' names.

I also like Audrey, Joy, and Lily.

Thank you ladies!

I think a lot of the names you have on there are great, but I prefer more formal names and using many of the names you suggested as nicknames.  Of the list you have, I like Ruby, then Emily, then Wendy.

What about Beverly or Lily?

From this list, I like Wendy best. It is one of the few that is a standalone name and it sounds good with the sib names.

I like Emily with your sibset.

Avery is too modern and trendy, and many others aren't stand-alone. And Molly and Lucy have different sounds, so it's not overly obvious they end in the same sound. So Emily would be a good fit. 

Other suggestions:

Ivy

Lily

Ainsley

Sadie (does it have to be a -y or just a -y sound?)

Audrey

Julie

Katy

Delaney

Natalie

Phoebe

Felicity

Halley

Cassidy

I would like to respond but the minute someone tells me to be nice, I want to be snarky.

So I will back away...
