Naming My Daughter Was SO Much Harder Than I Thought!

Naming my daughter nearly broke my brain. 😅 I thought picking a girl name would be a breeze (they’re all so pretty, right?), but I quickly spiraled into a rabbit hole of options. Here’s what actually helped me narrow it down: 🔹 Made a list of names I loved as a kid—turns out, I still adore "Isla" and "Poppy." Childhood me had taste! 🔹 Said each name out loud with our last name. Some combos sounded like a law firm, not a baby. 🙈 🔹 Asked my mom for her favorites—she suggested "Winifred." Not my vibe, but it sparked a great convo. 🔹 Checked initials (no "Ivy Olive Owens" for us, thanks!). 🔹 Imagined yelling the name across a playground. If I felt silly, it was out. 🔹 Looked up meanings—"Florence" means blossoming, which just felt right. ❤️ Parent confession: I almost picked "Clementine" but realized too late it rhymed with our dog’s name. Oops! How did you finally decide on your child’s name? Did you go classic, trendy, or totally unique? #babynames #parentlife #Parenting
