The Name Game

Naming baby girl JVM is becoming a difficult task. There are SO many names out there that I thought I LOVED, but the thought of MY little girl having one of these names as they roll off my tongue has me thinking again. 

I want something unique and special (as most moms probably do) but it's becoming increasingly difficult A) to find one, B) to get Andrew on board! I refuse to be ordinary.

I've ordered a book that I have high hopes for as it got stellar reviews from other readers, that it will give me some clear direction on where I should go with a name. Andrew really wants a name that works in both French and English. I don't see why all names wouldn't work in both, but I am not a Native French speaker so perhaps some are a little harder to pronounce than others.

It's a lot of pressure choosing your baby's name! I am open to suggestions should anyone want to put in their two cents :)

    I like names from books so I am probably no help to you! Madeline was the first name I thought of though ;)

    Emilie or Emily would probably work too. Think you need something on the shorter side with the JVM thing.

    I understand Andrew. We want something that can work in Italian and English too. One example: I love the way we pronounce Adelaide in Italian but I simply hate (no offense!) the English pronunciation. I am with you, naming your own child is tough!! But I am sure you'll find the perfect name :)

    I have been thinking....the following names may work in both languages (and more, two of them are good in Italian too!), I think: Matilde, Lucille, Josephine and Beatrice.
