I need help thinking of a great baby name!

[quote name='AndreaMercer' date='Jun 18 2005, 03:01 PM']Wow!  Thanks guys!  There are some really beautiful ideas!  I have 4 sisters, and a couple of the names suggested are their names, I have a sister Catherine, so I can't go with the Kathrena even though that is SO beautiful!

So far my favorites are:

Abigail Perpetua
Maria Perpetua
Gabriella Perpetua

I actually like the name Miriam, but that was the name of my high school french teacher and she was scary...so...I think the name would haunt me.  hahaha

I also like Annamaria, but that's really close to my name.  I also love Rose and Elizabeth...but those are the middle names of two of my sisters!!!

Sarah_JC, Perpetua is a saint name.  She was a roman myrtar, along with her dear friend Felicity, who my other little girl is named after.  We just wanted to make sure that if we have a girl that we have both a Felicity and a Perpetua, and Perpetua is a little over the top for a first name!

Haha I hear you on "limited" name choices!!! I come from a family of 12 kids (6 boys 6 girls) and my husband comes from a family of 11. There's enough duplicates as it is without us adding to it. So far my parents only have 4 grandbabies, but there are 20 on Matt's side with 3 more on the way (I'm dead serious)! I don't mind duplicating or using middle names, but its the first names that are tough. I've had people ask why I don't use "more normal" names for my kids (Adrienne and Genevieve) and I usually reply with "Because Mary, Maria, Katherine, Sara, Jessica, Grace, Therese, Elizabeth, John, Michael, Matthew, etc. are already TAKEN!" Can you believe that we have TWO Elijahs (one on either side of the family, BOTH with the middle name John, luckily one has Thomas stuck in there, too)?

One of my little sisters is named Felicity Perpetua (so I definately approve of the use of those 2 names hehe).

My fav out of the three you mention here is Maria Perpetua because there are a ton of little girls name Abigail and Gabriella or Gabrielle. Not to mention the nickname of Gabby. I have not run into any young kids named Maria...and it is such a beautiful name....especially since it is after the blessed mother.
