need baby name help!

[aspiringmum]

We are having a little girl and hubby and I are going round and round about her name. Here are the two front runners:

Hadley Luella
Gretchen Luella

Luella was my grandmother and Gretchen is a family name many generations deep. Hadley is not a family name, just one we both liked. Any opinions? (Please no "I knew a Gretchen and couldn't stand her" stories!)

I love love love the name Hadley!!! We have that name on our list as well if we have a girl!

 

[everdreaming]

I like both! I love the idea of a family name so for that reason i'd vote Gretchen x

 

[Jencocoa]

I never thought of the name Hadley before but I really like it! Do love family names no… I'm no help!

I really wanted Hadley but to spell it Hadlee... but hubby nixed it.. so we chose Hannah... but I've already told him if we have a second girl her name will be Hadlee!!!!

Love Hadley, was on my list! Couldn't use it because I promised to use my grandma as a middle name and I didn't think Hadley Mary went together (same ending sound).

I like Hadley, gretchen makes me think of a mean child I must of seen or read something with one in x

 

[Islabella]

I vote Hadley - really pretty name but seems to suit all stages and walks of life (to me)

 

[darcie]

Sorry I didn't see the end but I don't know a gretchen I think it was just a strory book character x

I like the way middle names are family names and first names are new ...

I love the name Hadley. I actually know a hadleigh (spelt this way).. beautiful name

 

[everdreaming]

You know you could go for 2 middle names. Hadley Gretchen Luella. I don't know what your surname is but that flows to me!

 

[tinyfootsteps]

I like both - sorry, I know that isn't helpful but I think either name is beautiful.

 

[aspiringmum]

Thanks for the help, everyone!

 

[everdreaming]

Have you made a final decision?

I think both are nice, I love the sound of Hadley. Makes me picture an outdoorsy and friendly girl.

DH is set on Hadley, so that's what it will be. Thanks so much, gals!
