An "anonymous reader" (aka my mother) just sent this over for Spread Nation to weigh in on: "Eloise, Louise, Lois, and to throw in a few family names: Isabelle, Maudine, Maude, Maudie, Maurine, Bertha, Katherine, Bonnie Kate, Frances, Thomasina (Tommy)."

Xanthe, Elodie, Annabel, and Blue all sound good with baker Burnett. But I happen to love Holiday, as per Maggie’s suggestion, or how about July. So cute!

I love Rita... but I already have a Freda! Also, Malena (though not exactly the character's name) reminds me of Days of Our Lives...in a good way!

This is too fun. You clearly need more weird, natch "unique," on your list, a la Saramax, so I will happily help you cast a wide net: Ciel, Thisbe, Marceline, Astrid, Amalia, Juniper, Sloane. Also: Congratulations!!

Most of our readers/name-gamers are too shy to comment so are sending their tips via email instead. Here's a sampling of what's come in thus far: Emilia, Cassia, Winnie, Claudia, Sass, and Saramax.

Rachel I forgot to tell you: 4-y-o Max says you should definitely name the baby HotRod. Finn says Alexa (since we're luddites and "that girl on TV"—meaning Alexa—is still exotic to him). Nick says Bunny Baker Burnett. I'm a fan of Penelope.

What do we win???

Penelope has long been a serious contender. But I just found out there's a Kardashian spawn named Penelope, which is making me rethink everything!

What can you name her so that her nickname is either Buffy or Birdie (answer: anything). I also am really into your family Maudine lineage. Or if that is almost right but not quite: Ondine.

I will gift you with my two alternate girl baby names: Agatha Knox and Lula Bean. They are family names for me but you are family! You're welcome!!! <3
