    Default Help Please - bub due in a couple of days still can't decide on a name!!

    Dear Bubhubbers,

    Please help bub is due in a couple of days and we still haven't quite locked in our choice of name.

    Our shortlist is:

    Makenna
    Emilyn
    Emerson
    Keelin
    Eloise

    The middle name will be Jo after her grandfather and our last name is Martins.

    Let me know what you think of these names and I am open to any suggestions for other girls names. I am trying to avoid the really popular girls names.
    Thanks

    i think makeena goes best with those names.

    but wanted to add, don't worry if you don't have a name picked out! first she may not come on her due date, second, you have 60 days to name her and send in the registration forms, maybe you should wait till she's born and see which one she looks like. =]

    I voted Eloise (very pretty). I also like Emilyn. I think Emerson sounds a bit masculine for a girl though.


    Good luck with your decision, you will know when you see her what her name should be.

    I like Emilyn Jo Martins. I did like Makenna, however that's 3 masculine names in a row. I'd give her a feminine name. I was going to have Emily, so I really like Emilyn.

    DH and I had 3 names picked out and decided early on in our pregnancy that we would wait until bub came out to see which name suited her the most. Within 30 seconds of her being born, we both knew she should be called Jessica.
    By the way. I think Makenna is a great name

    I voted Eloise

    The others are a bit too masculine for my taste, reminds me of several English soccer players actually (Jeff McKenna, Emlyn Hughes, Emerson and Kevin Keegan..) Sorry.. just my opinion of course and I'm sure in Australia not many people have heard of these players!
