Baby Girl Names? - Granby,CT

My husband and I are stumped when it comes to girl names. My Grandmother recently passed away and we would love to incorporate her name "Bea" as a middle name, but are finding it so difficult. Nothing seems to flow with it. Even a name with the sound "bee" in it. I love the names Emily, Emilia, Emma, Lily but don't want a top 10 name.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

As far as using the full name Beatrice, she would roll over in grave. She hated to be called Beatrice.

I shouldn't suggest this, b/c I know a little girl with this name (hopefully, that alone doesn't ruin it for you!)

The name is Isla Bea (or ailah, or whatever spelling) Pronounced - eye-la

it's so sweet.
but I also agree with using Bea as a first name. Very unique, but old unique and not modern/trendy/weird unique :)

First thing that popped into my head was Amelia and I see a few others here offered the same thing...I like the sound of names that end in a with Bea, which is a beautiful name!

Wow, that's an awesome name to work with.... can you hint us the first names that you sort of like and how many syllables in the last name.
I'm in agreement that it would be a cool first name and make her middle name be a longer one, it would sound professional. Bea Elizabeth Jones. Sounds like an Author or an Attorney.
Edit:
All of those first names sound good with Bea as the middle.

You should use Bea as her first name, very cute, unique, antique, feminine name. I love it!

Congrats to you and your family!

Here's a couple of the names that my hubby and I picked for a girl. I love old names and try to avoid the top lists too. (Our daughter's name is Audrey June (June was my grandmother's name too)).

Norah Bea- sounds the best to me but here are a few others...

Jane
Poppy (still a flower name like Lilly but not as popular)
Piper

Hope that helps :)

Emily Bea, is what came to my mind but you're right it is a hard one to fit. Maybe you should make it the first name but call her by her middle name? My son is Sean Jason but we use Jason.
Good luck and God bless

Our family nearly always does 4 names. Two middle names to honor a loved one from each parent, and a first name that is their own.

Four names makes Bea flow with almost any combination if it's the 2nd name in the list.

That's great that you want to use her name and I think lots of names would go with it! Just keep sounding them off and see what sounds good to you.
