HelpThird baby girl... Help me narrow the list, please!
Name for no. three... Looking for feedback to help me shorten the list...
Emma Jane
Genevieve Katherine
Katherine (Kate) Thomasina
Charlotte Jane
Jane Katherine
--- guilty pleasure names that raise family eyebrows -----
Linnea Katherine
Thomasina (tamsin) Katherine
Georgia or Georgiana Kate
Anthea (Thea) Jane
Ailsa Blythe
We always give three names, so Thomasina Katharine Jane is the type of combo we would use.
Emma is popular, I know, but a distinct favourite of ours...
Genevieve is a lovely name, but either/or pronunciation flies here and it can be hard to choose... Most pronounce it French way... We're Anglos
Katherine or Katharine...I love kate, not so keen on the full name, unless you can convince me!
Finally, Charlotte and Georgia.. Pretty classics..
Thomasina, Linnea and Anthea (Thea ) are guilty pleasures of ours... Do they trump the classics or are they too far "out there"
Thoughts?
I'll disclose sibs via PM. But not on board. Thanks!

Charlotte is classic and beautiful x It gets my vote

I think my fave combo would be Jane Emma Katherine.

Anthea Katherine Jane. Look no further!

I adore Thea as either a full name or nickname. Anthea Jane (Thea) is lovely. I also like Ailsa Blythe, Georgia Kate, and Genevieve.
Genevieve Katherine has a nice flow, but I find Katherine bland. How about Genevieve Charlotte?

Your guilty pleasures are my favorites :)
I'd order them...
1) Jane Katherine - though I feel Jane needs a bit of a spunkier MN - Jane Thomasina, mayhaps?
2) Anthea Jane
3) Georgia Kate
4) Linnea Katherine
5) Ailsa Blythe
6) Thomasina Katherine
7) Genevieve Katherine
8) Georgiana Kate
9) Emma Jane
10) Charlotte Jane
11) Katherine Thomasina
I don't see why you shouldn't just use Kate on its own, if you like it so much better than Katherine
I'm not particularly fond of Kate but every single one of your choices is lovely so you really can't go wrong :)

Thanks for your response. Jane is so sweet, isn't it? I love your combo of Jane Thomasina. My husband *LOVES* Thomasin (without the 'a') and Jane Thomasin is sweet and a bit retro (imo).
Jane is to hounour my grandmother, so using Jane in the first name spot would be extremely sentimental and meaningful for me. We both love the name. Our surname, however, is very plain and one syllable, to boot. So it would not do Jane the justice it deserves. Ideally, a three syllable would be best. But hey, nothing is perfect in life, right?

Jane Thomasina is a winner!

It really is. So pretty!

Jane Thomasina!
What a pretty combo! I hadn't put those together before!
I wonder if the third could be Kate or Katharine?
Jane Thomasina Katharine or Jane Thomasina Kate.

This is it, please don't name her anything but Jane Thomasina ______ or I will shed a hundred golden tears.

Ah Ludwig! I've been a follower of your advice!
Jane Thomasina, eh?
Our last name is a short, boring one syllable. But I will consider.
We are thinking of Anthea Jane now. (Thea) But Jane is so pretty and would be for my grandmother, so I will have to consider carefully!

I was actually going to suggest Jane Thomasina Kate :) Jane Thomasina Katherine and Jane Thomasin Kate work nicely too

I like:
Genevieve Katherine -- although I prefer Genevieve Catherine because it doesn't look as hard
Charlotte Jane
Linnea Katherine
Anthea Jane (nn Thea) -- love it!; most distinctive combo here, imo
I don't think your GPs are too out there. Thomasina isn't bad, however, to me, she'll always be the cat from a story I read as a child. :-)

What gorgeous taste you have!
Emma Jane - yes, Emma is popular, but it's still beautiful and I still love it. Have you considered Emmeline?
Genevieve Katherine - I love both these names, but they don't flow well.
Katherine (Kate) Thomasina - I love Katherine, especially with Kate, and I like Thomasina a lot, but they don't flow well.
Charlotte Jane - eh, I've never been huge on Charlotte. I'm bigger on my own manifestation of Carolus, Caroline. Charlotte Jane is nice enough, though. Seems very Austenesque.
Jane Katherine - love it. Jane is so underused and so lovely.
--- guilty pleasure names that raise family eyebrows -----
Linnea Katherine - Can't get behind Linnea. Too much like Lynn, and I hate Lynn.
Thomasina (tamsin) Katherine - I love this, but not with Tamsin as a nn.
Georgia or Georgiana Kate - I like both Georgia and Georgiana, and I love Kate, but to me Kate is only a (fabulous) nn for Katherine.
Anthea (Thea) Jane - Nope.
Ailsa Blythe - Interesting. Not my style, but I knew the greatest Ailsa so she made me like the name more. I'd probably opt for the similar Elsa. Elsa Beatrice?
Emma Jane - yes, Emma is popular, but it's still beautiful and I still love it. Have you considered Emmeline?
Genevieve Katherine - I love both these names, but they don't flow well.
Katherine (Kate) Thomasina - I love Katherine, especially with Kate, and I like Thomasina a lot, but they don't flow well.

I love, love, love, the name Genevieve- when pronounced the french way.

I love Jane so I really like Emma Jane and Jane Katherine with the edge going to Jane Katherine. I'm not fond of Charlotte due to its nicknames. Also, I know Emma/Emily have been super popular lately but I still think there must be more Kates out there due to Katherine/Katelyn/Caitlin/Kathleen etc. as I know about 5 million of them.

I really like Thomasina Katharine Jane, Georgiana Kate, Anthea Jane and Ailsa Blythe.

hmmm... Anthea Jane is looking sweet to me now. We love 'Thea' and I think Anthea might be a bit softer than Theodora. For me, anyway. Thank you for your feedback!

Katherine Thomasina and Georgia Kate are beautiful!
