Help with baby names!?

Question

I don't like the new trendy names, I definitely prefer more traditional ones.

Elizabeth Mary
-or-
Catherine Anne

I didn't ask for additional suggestions. I asked about the two names I gave.

Answer 1

I'm voting for Catherine, as I'm a Katherine Elizabeth! I hated being one of six Kate's in high school, but I don't think that will be a problem with the way naming trends are going. I used Kate as a teen, but when I was small, my family called me Katie. Some people I work with call me Kaye, too, so she'd still have nickname options.

Elizabeth Mary is also very nice. It has a lot of nickname options, (and Elizabeth is my middle name *wink*), but I can't stand the nickname Lizzie or Liz. They make a beautiful name sound so gutteral and icky. I love Liss, Beth, and even Betsy for nicknames.

Answer 2

Catherine Anne

Answer 3

I agree with you that more traditional names sound better. Of the two you have I prefer Elizabeth Mary, but I like the middle names swapped round - Elizabeth Anne and Catherine Mary. Or Mary Catherine would also be nice (I think Mary is really underused).

Answer 8

Name her whatever you think you like the best and also whatever she will like when she gets older.
Elizabeth mary is a cool name but I think it is not as sophisticated as Catherine Anne.

Answer 9

Here's my vote... Catherine Anne

Answer 10

I like Catherine Anne, you could use it as a double name... just a thought.
