Approx. spacing preference: 2+ yearsSo, husband mine, we have a baby girl! I must say, I couldn't help hoping we would have a girl first. She's absolutely beautiful, isn't she? Now we just have to name her! I know your family has a tradition for boys (which mine has the same one, isn't that funny?), but does it have one for girls? There aren't any in my family for girls, but I'd be happy to consider any your family has. Just a few preferences of mine: I tend to like old-fashioned or long names and to shy away from names that are in the top ten or fifteen in popularity. The only exception is the name Lily, which I adore no matter what number it's at. It's my favorite girl's name and I've love to use it, even if it's a nickname for something more elaborate, like Lilias or Lilia. Some of my favorite names besides Lily are:Arianna
Magdalena
Violet
Samantha
Irene
Callista (with Callie for a nickname)
Rose and most variations (Rosalind, Rosaleen, Rosa, etc)
Jessamine
Mathilde (also would consider Matilda)
Bridget
Alexandra (not really a fan of many variations, like nicknames Alex and Sasha)
Nora
Sara
I could name a lot more, but let me know what you think!

I totally agree with you, she is beautiful, just like her mother! There isn't any tradition for girls in my family either and I'm not really sure what I would call me name style. I like a bunch of names and for some reason I tend to like names with a nickname. From your list I like Lily, Ariana (this spelling), Jessamine, Nora, Mathilde, Matilda, Rose and some other Rose names (Rosalind, Rosaline, Rosalie). Some names I like:
Isabella
Ophelia
Theodora
Sienna
Philippa
Elisabeth
Zara
Persephone
Seraphina
Noelle
Alice
Jocelyn
Freya
Noa
MollyAnd I might like Lilia nn Lily, not sure about that one yet.

From your list I like Theodora, Sienna, Elisabeth, Sara, Seraphina, Noelle, Alice, Jocelyn, Noa, and Molly. Freya definately might grow on me, and Persephone too. I like Isabella, but it's so common right now, two of our friends have daughters named that! How do you feel about Lily as a first name? Some combinations with your names I like areLily Alice
Lily Noa
Lily Theodora
Lily Freya (definately could learn to love it in this combination!)
Lily SeraphinaWhat do you think?

I'm not 100% sure about Lily as a first name, it is a little short for my taste. But I know how much you love it so I'll accept Lily as a first name. I liked Lily Seraphina quite a lot! Does that sound good for you? :)

Lily Seraphina is beautiful, and if you have a longer version you like better I'm certainly open to it.

I like Lilia nn Lily too, but I think I actually prefer Lily Seraphina.
So I guess our baby girl is Lily Seraphina!

A beautiful name for out beautiful girl! You can choose the FN for the next baby. Story-wise, I found out I was pregnant on a Saturday while my sisters and their kids were visiting. I had suspected for a while, but I hadn't done anything. My sister Rachel convinced me to take a pregnancy test, and it was positive! We were all so excited, and all my siblings and my parents came up to be there when she was born, and so did yours. We had a lot of fun with the nursery and all that, but nothing topped holding Lily in our arms for the first time. The pregnancy and birth were perfectly normal, and Lily was perfectly healthy, born only a few days before her due date. She had a head of dark hair and dark blue eyes, and I think she looks a lot like her daddy! I'm fortunate enough to have an understanding boss who lets me work from home most of the time, only going to the office for meetings and such, so I get to spend plenty of time with her.Here's a picture of her:http://marketplace.veer.com/stock-photo/Baby-on-white-1304378?slot=40&pg=1
