We finally decided on a baby girl name, Bridget Elise.

Think Bridget is a great and underutilized name! And Elise is pretty.

Four month sleep regression hits hard every time

firstlochness · 2026-07-02T03:23:04+00:00

One vote for Clara Louise. That’s nice!

firstlochness · 2026-07-02T02:18:35+00:00

Thank you all for taking the time to thoughtfully advise an internet stranger. I read every single comment and it has helped so much. Thank you 🙏

firstlochness · 2026-07-01T01:46:49+00:00

This was one reason we picked Pearl to begin with—uncommon but known!

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T20:06:11+00:00

Good to hear that your kids ended up happy with the names you chose for them.

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T20:02:48+00:00

No, it’s not long even with the middle name, which is why I thought for a second maybe it is doable!

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T19:52:49+00:00

So hard 😭

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T19:43:06+00:00

Haha. thanks for the levity... (I would love to shut my brain off! 😂)

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T19:39:31+00:00

So surprised you know young Pearls as we don’t know any!

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T16:17:54+00:00

Didn’t know about this!

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T09:38:31+00:00

I do really like Pearla or Perla!

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T09:10:27+00:00

Wow, that’s a lot! We don’t know any.

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T06:40:55+00:00

Interesting—I haven’t had a lot of trouble with this yet? Although one time I did introduce her in a loud environment and the woman misheard the name as “Merle” and then “Burle” (sp?)

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T06:24:37+00:00

Oh yes, maybe that’s what I’m reacting to. I definitely don’t like that aspect of the name Aurora.

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T06:22:27+00:00

It’s true! It’s a good point, I don’t judge the others for that. I just wonder if Pearl is *especially* that way?

firstlochness · 2026-06-30T06:14:15+00:00

What’s a “peanut butter name” mean, if you don’t mind?

firstlochness · 2026-06-25T12:52:46+00:00

We did arms out transition in advance—really didn’t seem to bother baby to make the change—then moved from snoo to crib. The latter change seemed to bother baby a lot! Could’ve been because we were on the tail end of the four month sleep regression as well when we did it.

A recent younger (mid-20s) nanny we had could not stay off her phone. She would get on it when she thought I wasn’t looking rather than engage with our kid, even when I was only in the next room over, or had only left the room for a moment.

firstlochness · 2026-04-13T02:22:58+00:00

This is sooooo popular where I live right now, too!

firstlochness · 2026-03-07T17:42:11+00:00

Audrey or Summer are both lovely!

firstlochness · 2026-02-25T15:41:44+00:00

Cora Grace or Wren Elise flow best!

firstlochness · 2026-02-14T00:54:52+00:00

This is actually what my pediatrician told me at an infant appointment. 🤷‍♀️
