Okay so for a while I have been asking questions regarding names for my babies due 2/19/09 and everyone in my family was aware of me wanting to name my baby girl (the only twin we know the gender of) Cecelia, well, my sister, who just had her baby, named her Cecilia! I AM SO UPSET!
I confronted her about it and asked her why on earth she would do something like that when she knew how long it took us to chose a name and she said "Oh I'm so sorry I really liked the name and you've still got a while to go so I thought you'd reconsider."
I was so angry and overwhelmed I was crying. I explained to her that I was happy for her but that I was very upset (she had her baby yesterday and has been trying to call all day today but I've been too upset to talk to her about it) Its not the end of the world, I realize that, my husband has been attempting to fix things saying we have two other names we love but they're not the same and I'm so disheartened.
I wouldn't be selfish and name my daughtr Cecelia now because its not fair to cause her so much confusion but I'm really upset. Anyway, I'm so sorry this is so long, here's the question, are these replacement names alright? Keep in mind that we both love the first one even though its popular
Emma Charlotte and Felicity Audra (If both are girls) or
Emma Charlotte and either Noah Gabriel or Gabriel Jude for boy/girl
You can pick the boy's name you like best if you want...sorry again to be so long winded but this is really effecting me and I think I'm probably just being malodramatic but...still...
Baby Name DRAMA! Please HELP!?
I don't think you guys should try to make them feel better by telling them you have two other names. They should realize the impact this had on you and how direspectful it was to name her that without even discussing it with you beforehand or giving you warning. Obviously you're family so it's something that will have to blow over in the end but I don't think you should let them off the hook so easily.
That being said I love Emma Charlotte. I also love the middle name Audra. Not crazy about Felicity but it's ok. It's sort of a long name for a child and I can't figure out a nickname for it.
I also love Noah Gabriel but I think Gabriel and Emma make a better pair than Noah and Emma...that's a bit rhymey.
Sorry about all this. I know they is the last thing you want to be dealing with right now. In all honesty when it's all said and done whatever name you choose becomes your child. I'm sure in the end you'll decide you wouldn't change it for the world. Congrats!
Reply:omg. that is SO mean of your sister! but i bet the two names you listed below are gonna be great! i like:
emma charlotte and felicity Audra for the girls (girl/girl)
emma charlotte and Gabriel Juee for boy and girl (boy/girl) \
hope this helps! :)
Reply:That is some drama, I think you're very right to be upset. Just be warned, Emma is all over now. It's the modern day "Katie" of 20 years ago. Be prepared for your daughter to have 2 or more other Emma's in all her classes.
Reply:Well that was rude of her, but I love Emma Charlotte, it's gorgeous. I love Noah Gabriel with it, and Felicity Audra is beautiful too :)
Congrads!
Reply:I'm not a fan of Emma/Felicity but I love Emma/Noah.
Adorable.
Reply:Lol, I would be pissed too!!
So I'm loving Emma Charlotte and Felicity Audra, i seriously LOVE those names. =]
Reply:i dont like Cecialla its grosss lol
i liek emma alot better :] and felicity is okay but i like emma alot better ;]
i like nolan or carson for a litle boy
Reply:Emma Charlotte %26amp; Gabrielle Jude or Emma Charlotte %26amp; Noah Gabriel
Reply:I like Emma Charlotte. It's adorable. I also like Noah Gabriel. They're cute names.
Reply:noah gabriel for the boy
that is so mean of your sister, but just try to be optimistic about it.
Reply:yeah that situation kind of sucks........but im also a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason" so maybe if you choose Emma....later on you will be glad that you named your daughter that and nothing else. For instance, what if Cecilia turns out to be a complete brat....you might end up disliking that name and be thankful that you have a wonderful, well behaved daughter named Emma
Emma Charlotte and Felicity Audra are beautiful.
and I personally like
Emma Charlotte and Gabriel Jude (as Noah is becoming very popular and trendy these days)
good luck with everything and remember "someday everything will all make perfect sense, so for now laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason."
Reply:Aww.. I'm sorry your sister did that to you. apparently she's got some issues. That's pretty messed up. I'd be really upset too. Names are so hard to choose, and it hurts when someone steals your choice.
Anyway..
I like your other choices. I think I like Gabriel Jude a Tad bit more than Noah.. but Emma and Noah sound better to me than Emma and Gabriel..
either way, I think they are all fine. :)
Reply:My take on your sister is that is somethibg she did on purpose and you two need to figure out why she would do something so vengeful to you and your husband. Rhere is a deep rooted reason for her action. Secondly, Emma is an extremely popular name but it is because it is pretty. All the names you have chosen are classy. I recently saw a variation of Emma......Emmalyne. Its just a thought. Oh and you could use Cicilly in place of Cecilia. Again, just a thought. :)
Reply:You can name your daughter Emma Charlotte Cecilia. Then you have a ton of nicknames to call her:
Emi
Charley
Lottie
Ceci (Fav)
Leah
Or if your sister's daughter doesn't go by Cecilia you can call your daughter Cecilia.
You have every right to be mad. Your sister knew it was your name that you were planning on naming your child and she took it unrightfully without your approval. She didn't even tell you till after.
Reply:OMG how rude! Your not being dramatic..thats horrible of her! Thank god, you have till Feb to decide on something just as beautiful. Dont let her steal the precious feelings of naming your child, she already stole the name. So now to decide....
I dont like Emma, well I do but its sooo popular! Gabriel Jude is adorable! Celeste is alot like Cecilia and very pretty!
The name Monet is very pretty %26amp; classy like Cecilia
Amelie (omm-uh-lee)has a nice flow like Cecilia or Amelia it has that classy sound and you could call her emmy for short since you like emma
Amelia Charlotte %26amp; Gabriel Jude
Reply:My cousin did the same thing with his daughter. Jade has been my favorite name for a long time and he took it as his daughter's middle name. I actually found out at the shower, she was born last Thursday =). Well I'm pretty much over it now because I found a name that means a lot to me and my husband. Anyway Emma Charlotte and Gabriel Jude are my favorites. Emma and Gabriel have always been my favorite names. But my husband didn't like Emma and we chose Gage instead Gabe. Hope I helped.
Reply:im so sorry that your sister did that to you but maybe its a blessing in disguise ;) i think cecelia is a very old fashioned name and i like it better as a middle name anyway. So i think you should consider some of these very beautiful girl names:
Amelia Charlotte (Amelia is kinda similar to Cecelia but much more adorable!)
Aubrey Charlotte-Cute, nice change from the Audrey
Felicity Emma- I like this better than emma charlotte :)
Molly Amelia--LOVE THIS NAME you could even spell it Mollie
As far as your poss sons name, i don't like Gabriel for a first name i think you should use it as a middle name, I like:
Michael Gabriel--my fav
Braydon Gabriel
Brody Gabriel
Austin Gabriel
Good luck dear and don't worry it will all be alright and your daughter will prob be happy that her mama didn't name her cecelia! :)
Reply:I think it was very inconsiderate of your sister to do that, and selfish not to mention lazy and uncreative, couldn't she think of a name herself? But I like the name felicity and Noah is a sweet name, sorry your sister is so mean, wish you and your twins lots of luck and happiness.
Reply:It was totally WRONG wrong WRONG of your sister to do that to you! you are not being dramatic at all. She should have asked you if it was okay, and then if you said no, she should have named her baby something else.
I love Emma Charlotte and Felicity Audra!
Noah Gabriel and Emma Charlotte for a boy/girl.
Just a suggestion - do you like the name Cordelia? it sounds similar to Cecelia, although i realize it wont be the same and im so sorry that she stole it :(
congrats, anyways !
hope i helped and best wishes.
- Eva :)
Reply:I would be very upset, too! If she just had the baby yesterday, is it too late for her to change it? :-) I would make her.
You're right....Emma is very very popular. There will be several in her classes at school.
I will keep thinking about suggestions....good luck! Hope things work out between you and your sister!
Reply:That was SO selfish of your sister! my sister stole the middle name I wanted to use when she had her son I was 3 months preggo so didn't know what I was having. It broke my heart! Cecelia was a pretty name.
Felicity Charlotte and Gabriel Jude. Felicity is cute and my #1 choice for girls names! Good Luck.
Reply:Cecily is similar (Ses-sih-lee), but not the same as Cecelia - different enough you could use it if you choose. Cecily Arielle? Cecily Nicole? Cecily Noelle?
Or perhaps Celestine? (seh-les-Teen)
Noah Gabriel
I can't choose a girl name because I don't care for the middle names of either one - jmo. Felicity Emma sounds very pretty. Emalia (in my opinion) sounds better than Emma, and you can still use the Emma nick name. Emalia Celestine? Celestine Felicity?
Blessings
