Baby due Sat. and we don't have a name

[PurpleIvy44]

So this is my 2nd DD and we have not decided on a name. This is more stressful that the thought of labor! My DH picked Megan and that was done at the last minute last time.

I wanted Riley from the start but he said no b/c it's too unisex and you don't know if it's a boy or girl. So I kinda put it out of my head and all the other names I liked were denied. So he comes back a week ago and says I thought it was going to be Riley. What, since when!? Then I found out that a former co-worker just had a granddaughter named Riley and although it doesn't really matter b/c I don't see her, I feel like I would be copying her.

Then the middle name is an issue b/c what goes with Riley? He likes Jessica b/c he wants to call her Jessie. I think Jessie is really cute but feel it will be shortened to Jess and I don't like that, he agreed on that. I thought Riley Marie was cute but my Aunt suggested Marie b/c that's her middle name and I thought that was weird.

So what would be a good middle name for Riley?

Riley Grace? Riley Isabella?

Thanks for the reply. I have a friend who lost her baby girl named Grace and I wouldn't feel comfortable using that. And my niece is Annabelle so that would be too close to Isabelle.

I like the idea of a theme... Maybe a floral middle name like Megan.

Thanks. Funny b/c I thought of 3 of your suggestions already. I do like Nicole and my middle is Louise. Jane was a good contender when I was going to go with Aliza but then that got thrown out.

Congratulations!!! Riley Nicole is beautiful - I absolutely love Riley as a girls name and a boys name - my name is shannon and that's a unisex name too people usually work out what gender you are otherwise they can ask hehe
