Help! Husband and I Can't Pick a Girls Name

We had a boys name, but turns out it's a girl. :-) Middle name will be either Gail or Linda (after MIL). Our sons name is Austin. Name should have two syllables and can be unique or not. Help! We are stumped!

What can I do next?

I know you want a two-syllable name, but you could consider naming her Malinda (or Melinda) Gail to use both names.

I agree with the other post who suggested putting the 2 names together. I love Linda Gail. Ok I am a little bias since my daughter's name is Linda Ann. By the way Linda has become a very unique name.

I have 2 nieces with the middle name Gail. They were named after my sister who died many years ago. Her middle name was Gail, too. My nieces are Brittany Gail and Lindsey Gail.

How about " Mia Linda " ? In both Italian and Spanish it translates to my beauty.

I had a baby book that had lists in the front of what people assumed about a person when they heard their name. I can't remember the name of the book but I really liked it.

For example, if you named your daughter "Candy" most people think of bimbos or "Elizabeth," people think sophisticated and smart, or "Aubrey" would be sweet. You get the picture. It really helped us when we had to come up with 3 girl names.

Abigail (I know it's 3 syllables, but after your MIL - and Abby for short, 2 syllables)
Ashlin (after your MIL)
Madalin (again, 3 syllables, but after your MIL - but Maddy for short - 2 syllables)
Caitlin (after your MIL)
Brooklin (after your MIL)

I like Chelsea Gail. :)

I like having the same initials for both kids. Both of our kids' names start with "A" also. So when I put initials on clothing items, it helps with hand-me-downs of jackets, etc. (we have a boy and then a girl also). However, it also can make it harder.... if you use initials on the calendar for appts (or in later years: after school activities), you have to write out the full name... no using just initials, lol.

Ours are Aaron and Allison. It sounds nice on "family" signatures...
