Baby Girl Gunnarson

Monday, May 3, 2010
[I am so far behind I will never catch up, and now I'm far enough behind that babies are being born before I get to the questions. But I hate to just DELETE questions, so I'm posting some of them here for us to work on together, and by "us" I mean "just you," and by "together" I mean that I will write this little intro and hit publish.]

Hello!

I am expecting my baby girl on May 10. I am Swedish, and my husband is English - so we'd like to honour my Scandinavian roots with some Swedish names. This is our first baby, so we're struggling with names... We also like names that are a bit old-fashioned, though nothing too crazy or with funny spelling.

For example, our short list includes;

Evelyn
Elisabeth
Mathilde
Clementine
Helene
Rose
Liv
Louisa

Our last name is Gunnarson, which we feel is a bit of a mouthful.

However, it is tradition in my husbands family to have three middle names. I am struggling a bit with this concept!

I was just wondering if you feel the name Liv Helene Mathilde Anne Gunnarson is FAR too long. I like the sound of it all together, and adore the name Liv.

So far, our front runners for baby Gunnarson are Liv and Evelyn, which we both adore.

Ideas?
