Thanks ladies! Brooke is DH's favorite and I'm leaning toward Brooke and Stella. I like Delilah and Callista but I think we would end up using Lilah and Callie as nicknames. For some reason it bothers me to pick a name just to end up shortening it.

I feel exactly the same way. I didn't realize it at first but almost every single name on my list is a name without a nickname. I think the only way I could pick a name that comes with a NN is if I liked both the name and NN and can see myself using them both equally. So far that hasn't happened for me yet! So in that case I either drop the name or just use the NN as a stand alone name.
So even though I think Callista and Delilah are beautiful names, if you're automatically going to defer to the NN and never use the full name, I would just go with Lilah and Callie. I have a good friend whose full name is Callie.
My rankings:
Brooke - love its simplicity and it's one of my top names
Callista
Delilah - I like slightly less than Callista because it seems a tad fussy to me.
Re: Girl name poll
In order of preference
1) Callista
2) Delilah
3) Brooke
4) Stella
I would say Stella, but then I saw your last name and I don't think it sounds right.
I vote Delilah.
Brooke - I hate it.
Callista - I like it.
Delilah - I love it!
Stella - I love it! Also, this pairs well with your DS, Roman.
Suggestions...

I like Calista the best.
How about:
Calista Paige
Calista Rose
Calista Nicole
Calista Marie
Calista Eve
Calista Brynn
I think either Stella or Delilah.
I have to disagree with a PP that Stella Shee-lee has a real ring to it.
I disagree. It sounds fine.

I adore Calista, although much prefer it spelled with one L.
I also really like Stella.
Delilah is good too. Brooke is NMS, although I mean that literally--there's nothing implicitly wrong with it.
I really like Stella.
I don't mind Brooke.
I don't care for the other two that much.
I think Stella She-lee sounds fine.
