Its so hard to choose a girl name

I'm 19 weeks and we find out the sex in 4 days. I want a name somewhat picked out. DH and I are dead set Mason Michael for a boy. I dont care if Mason is popular. We love the name and thats all that matters to us. So, we need help with the girl name. Oh and were sticking to M names.

Our list so far. I dont like "old lady names".

Mikenna

Madison

Mallory or Mallorie

Macy

Miley

Whats your favorite, least favorite. Any suggestions for "cute, girly" names not "old lady" names

M names are really hard. But me and my husbands names start with M, and so were being kinda matchy. Madelyn nn Maddie is really cute.

mikaelaandmichael:

Our list so far. I dont like "old lady names".

Mikenna - Least favourite. It comes from McKenna meaning 'son of..', therefore I don't like it on a girl. 

Madison - My favourite from your list. I  like Maddie. ETA: How did I confuse Madison and Madeline/Madelyn?? Anyway, not a big fan of the -son ending. I probably wanted to say that Madeleine was one of my favourites.

Mallory or Mallorie - I don't like the meaning.

Macy - Tie with Madison for favourite. 

Miley - Cyrus. Nuff said. How about Mila or Malia?

Whats your favorite, least favorite. Any suggestions for "cute, girly" names not "old lady" names

 

My favourite M names are Mathilde/Matilda, Madeleine and Magnolia.

Other M names are:

Mabel

Marie

Mia

Maya

Molly

Michelle

Meghan

I'm going to go with Mallory out of that list.  I'm sorry but the rest are really, really terrible.

I like Mallory a lot though.  And it's not one you see very often.

Your daughter will grow up one day.  I wouldn't saddle her with a cutesy name that gives her no options.

Mallory is wonderful.

What about Mila with the nickname Miley?

Mikenna, Madison and Macy are just too far on the "I'm a three year old for life!" train.

Please don't pick Miley...that is awful and she will forever be associated with Miss Cyrus. I like Macy the best but it's rising in popularity due to Teen Mom.

If you don't love any M names, then just pick a different letter. I'll never understand the need for naming themes.

I like the suggestion of Mila. Your names are NMS, especially Miley.

It was hard to choose a favorite because these names are NMS. My favorite is probably Madison.

It was easy to choose my least favorite, which is Mikenna. I hate the way it's spelled.

Suggestions...

Mia

Madeline

I love Mallory.  I like "old lady names" so your other choices are not my style (especially Miley and Mikenna - definitely NMS) but I find Mallory to be refreshing and sweet.

Other "M" names I find sweet and girly:

Meredith

Melanie

Matilda (you might find this "old lady" though)

Michaela (spelled only like this)

Molly

Madeline

Maren

Mia 

Marabel/Maribel

Marcella

Margot

The only name from your list I like is Mallory and I love this name.

I hate Miley for obvious reasons and I don't care for the others either.  I don't think they sound sophisticated or age well.

My favorite M names for a girl are:  Mallory, Mila, Mia, Maren.

My favorite from your list is Mallory. I also agree with not giving to cutesy a name because they will be grown ups some day.

That being said my favorite M name is Matilda. I think Tillie and Matty are adorable nicknames you could use to make it more cutesy when she is young.

I also like Margot and Marissa for M names.

The bold.  Out of your names I like Mallory.  I don't think Melanie has been mentioned.

Like others said, your daughter will grow up one day.  I wouldn't take a Miley seriously.
