Hi Jennifer,
I was wondering what you thought of the name Adderley for a girl, nicknamed Addy. It’s the name of a street in my hometown.
Thanks!
Molly
Dear Molly,
I like it, and the fact that you associate it with a good memory. I often advise people to look into their own personal histories for unique baby names. Street names, towns you visited or with which you have a particularly positive association are good sources for names. Congrats!
Sincerely,
Jennifer
