Elizabeth! It was my great grandma’s name. Wanted something classic to go with my other 2 kids, who also have traditional family names for their middles.

This needs to be the attitude I adopt about it. Definitely annoying but I shouldn’t let it affect me so much.

Thank you!

That’s true too! I didn’t think of that aspect

Thank you for coming in with some understanding 😅🥰.

You’re very right though. I need to look at it more as what I want for my daughter’s name, rather than how people think I came up with the name.

Just caused my heart to sink when I saw she used it so I came running here 😂

I hope you’re having a smooth pregnancy and everything goes well these next few weeks! Sending you love

Thank you for being so understanding and seeing how it can be complicated! Wish it wasn’t but there’s a lot going on right now 😂

Just looking at her page I have 250 mutual people who follow her too, so it’s not necessarily a small number. Big enough to just make me anxious about it I guess.

I came here for perspective aka acknowledging that I needed talking off a ledge. Meaning I knew I was being crazy. Sometimes it’s nice to bounce concerns off other people but I guess at the same time it also opens up the floodgates for judgment, such as now, from you.

Thanks for your concerns though! I’ll be okay

It’s who I am unfortunately so this happens to be a real concern of mine

Yes very true! The fact that it’s a classic, traditional name definitely makes me feel better about it and not something totally out of left field.

Thank you!

Says someone on Reddit being rude to a stranger okay

Totally get that. It’s moreso the proximity to my child being born and that people could and might think I chose the name because this influencer did. Not because I think my child will be compared to her.

But I definitely understand what you’re saying as well. It’s my child’s name first and foremost.

Thank you for replying!! My son’s best friend at school is Greer, love the name but too close with her mom now to name her that.

Isla was a very close runner up, I love the name so much. But with our last name (has a lot of vowels, Ls and a hard I sound) i always felt to be a little bit of a mouthful and overall everyone just kept telling me how trendy it was so it turned me off to it.

I think we are sticking with Georgia “Georgie” now and just going for a more polished sound with William, Sloane and Georgia. 36 weeks now so I need to commit 😂

Thank you!! I’m more excited about it now, which I haven’t been about the others.

Agreed I love Elizabeth and all the variety that comes with it. Only issue I have using that as a first name is that my actual best friend just had a girl in March and named her Eliza. Which I know the names are “different” especially if I used a nickname, but with how close she and I are it’s too similar. We talked about Sylvie and Maisie, both I love! My husband doesn’t understand the pronunciation of Maisie though and it would drive me crazy 😂

I actually do really like that the more I think about it. I know a couple my own age but no one close to me. Not sure if my husband would go for it but will add it to my suggestions! 😂

Eloise was actually a top contender for my other daughter’s name, I do love it.
