As Leigh suggested - Joan as her first name!!!! There wont be 5 other Joans in her classes all through school. I love "old" names ! If I have a DD I'm pretty positive her name with be Theresa Marie Lee :-) (Theresa is my grandmother, Marie is my SIL middle name and Lee is my mother and godmothers middle name) and I will call her Tess !!! LOL
Congrates on the Baby Girl !!!

Reading through the prior postings, a multi syllable name ending in a long e sounds good with Joan, i.e. Bethany, Avery, Naomi.

You know, I think the name Joan is so underrated for it's simple beauty.

I know someone named Joan Mary and she is without a doubt the most fabulous woman.

I love the name Melody.

No one ever names their kids that.
I never get flowers for suggesting it.
I still love it.

:)

Best wishes!
Names can be so hard to choose.
I know you will find the perfect comination.

3 syllables sound good as a first name with a one syllable middle name.

I like:

Lillian
Amara
Michaela
Samantha
Erica
or Jillian if you like the two J's together (I think it's cute, myself!)

Love the name Abigail... Gavin I think of a boys name.. but that's because I knew a Gavin that was a boy.. but I'd go Abigail all the way..

All pretty names, and Joan is great. Consider that for the first name! Not many Joans around any more among the younger kids so it would be traditional but not the same name every other kid has.

Gavin would create confusion, I think; it's traditionally a boy's name and though you can call a girl or a boy anything at all, of course, you also may end up with a lot of explaining and wrongly-filled-out school forms when people assume "Gavin J. Smith" is a boy. Just a thought.

Interesting side note -- in Britain 150 years ago, even up into the 1900s, "Shirley" and "Leslie" were men's names, so these things do change...Just decide if you want to be driving the change in your own family!

I think Emily Joan sounds nice together. Also sounds good with your other
children of Brice, Abigail and Gavin.
Sounds like some readers think those names are what you're thinking of
naming this new child.
Best of luck on your future baby girl!

Any multi-syllable name sounds good with Joan as the middle.
