We need one more name for our Triplets??
So far we have:
Shannon Lucy Allie Long
&
Lorraine Anna Charli Long
&
______ Skye Lotti Long
We are really stuck. We thought about the names Felicity, Anastasia, Annalise, Avery, and Aubrey or Audrey.
But since my other sons' names have some connection with Europe, in them I wanted my daughters to have the same. Shannon is a river in Ireland, so that stays. Lorraine, we aren't sure of, but we've met a few Lorraines in England.
We wanted a name that begins with an A and ends with an N, E, or R. And of course it has to have a European connection!
Thank you!!
Does anyone have any ideas OTHER than the ones I listed? I do agree they sound nice, but I'm looking for more names . . .
