We've pretty much settled on a first name for our baby girl that's coming, but we're unsure of which middle name to use... Our last name is Guhl, so we've had a hard time picking a name since A names, L names, and G names are out (AAG, ALG, AGG).

Here's our list... Pick your favorite and let me know why.

Annika Rose Guhl

Annika Marie Guhl (my middle name, my initials)

Annika Emily Guhl

Annika Emmy Guhl

Annika Evie Guhl

Annika Mackenzie Guhl

Annika Piper Guhl

Annika Mae Guhl

Annika Sierra Guhl

Annika Cadence Guhl

Annika Imogen Guhl (for my MIL, Jean)

Annika Jordin Guhl

Annika Willow Guhl (for my FIL, William)

Annika Ivy Guhl (my top 3, our best friend's middle name)

Annika Eden Guhl (my top 3)

Annika Eva Guhl (my top 3)

Well, it's a tie for me- either Annika Rose Guhl or Annika Elise Guhl. What beautiful names. Both of them seem to flow very gracefully across the tongue. I also like the fact that your daughter will not have to endure weird spellings of her middle name, like Roze or Rowze or whatever. I know I rant entirely too much, but as a teacher I can't for the life of me figure out why people take perfectly common names and murder them with bizarre spellings. People forever misspell the kids' names, and the poor kids will have to endure this for the rest of their lives.

Guhlia....

This is going to hard to decide! They are a good names!!! It's hard to choose! The only way we decided on a name was b/c I was having Braxton-Hicks contractions from 5 months on....so we named our little guy Braxton!LOL

Teacher....I still kick my self for giving my son two middle name....his dad's 1st name and my last are his middle names....his intials are BDTP!!! Try saying that three times fast.

So I know why you're saying no A,L and G middle names!!!

With total rejection of the name "Goose Gulia," my bet is that when you see her for the first time you will know who she is to be. Happy days ahead for you. Best wishes to you and the grand big sister. :)

My wife and I met rock climbing, and enjoy kayaking, skiing etc. We seriously want to name our kids after Rivers or Mountains. (Kern, Whitney, places that are special to us)

We not so seriously want to give our 1st kid the middle name "danger". Danger is his/her middle name!

I think my mom would kill me.

Ok, I have narrowed the list down a little after discussing some of your suggestions with my husband. It's amazing the discoveries you make when you say a certain name over and over again. I deleted a few of the options in the original post because we decided they didn't flow right or we just decided we didn't like them as much as we thought we did.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep 'em coming! I really want to have the name picked out by the time we have the nursery done so that we can personalize little things for her and start the baby book.

Angie, I like the way Annika Marie sounds best and also because it is your middle name.

My grandmother's name was Imogene. You don't hear that too often!

I'm not suggesting this for your baby, and I am far too old to have a baby myself, but if I weren't, I would name my baby Lily. I don't know why exactly, but I think it's pretty. I have a student named Journey, and I like that one, too.

We have blue carpet in the nursery, so we're doing a floral theme. Target sells the set, it's pink, cream, and blue with vintage floral patterns on it. Very pretty and feminine.

I'm glad you went with that set, Angie. I thought it was very pretty :D

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
