We cannot decide on a name!! DHs list is Emma and Jessica, my list is Eleanor and Ruby, our "maybe" list is Nora and Molly. Big sister is Josephine nn Josie. Mn probably Mae. Any suggestions?? I want a name that is still traditional but not overused...many of the reasons I like DD1s name. DH says this baby has "spunk" and is a "spitfire" and wants a name to match. thanks!!
Veronica, we almost used it. NN Vera. We ended up going with Emilia because DH loved the name Emma. Oh and both of our kids didn't have names for 2 days.
I think Jessica and Josephine would be so cute together!
Depends on whether you will have a Jess or Jessie. I think Jessie and Josie are a little too close.
Im a Jessica that goes by Jess unofficially. Ive never loved my name. A June12 mom has a baby Jessica and I love it on her baby. I think it's adorable.
I feel Jessica is a bit dated 80's next to Josephine.
Emma isn't spunky at all to me.
I vote Ruby Mae, which is very spunky and suits Josephine perfect.
To me Eleanor and Ruby are "old lady" names. I like Emma Mae a lot, but it is VERY popular. Jessica to me is dated - think early 1980s.
I really like your maybe list of Nora, but I would spell it Norah, and Molly. I think Norah Mae is really nice. I don't like Mae as a MN for Molly.
Good luck! My vote is for Emma Mae or Norah Mae.

Emma and Jessica do not say "spunk" or "spitfire" to me... I really don't like Jessica at all, seems overused and boring. Emma is cute but it's more of a pretty, cutesy name than it is spunky. Eleanor also seems pretty, not spunky.
Ruby Mae is my brand new little cousin's name! I really like it and it's spunky. I also loooove Nora and Molly, they're both on my list! I'd vote Nora Mae as my number one choice, then Ruby, then Molly. Congratulations!!! This is so exciting for you!
Josie was always one of my favorites! I like Ruby, too! Or Ellie. Not too much of a fan on the other names, but go with what you feel is right! Picking a name is tough!
There isnt 1 name that you both agree on? Why do you each have your own lists?
I like Emma best.
I'm sure she wouldn't be asking for help if there was 1 name they agreed on already. I feel like I'm pointing out the obvious here, but sometimes it is hard to find names you both like.
OP, I love Emma and Eleanor best. I like that you can do Eleanor nn Nora and use one of the names you both like. But Ruby is more spunky than Emma and Eleanor, I think, and is also a nice choice.
I have a Norah and she is definitely spunky and a bit sassy lately too My sister is Molly. She is sweet, funny and has many friends but not snobby. I love Ruby on your list too!
Re: At hospital and still no name for baby girl...
Eleanor Mae nn Nora.
Nora and Josie sound adorable together! Congrats btw
I also think Ruby Mae would be adorable too. Very spunky.

Exactly! I also think Molly fits too, but not a fan of it with Mae.

I like Eleanor Mae, nn Ellie. Ellie and Josie sounds really cute as a sibset!
Ruby Mae and Molly Mae are cute too.
I agree with pp that Jessica, nn Jessie sounds too much like Josie.
We didn't name dd2 until 2 hours before we were discharged from the hospital. You have time
Eleanor and Emma are okay but nms. I don't care for the others. Suggestions:
Penelope (Penny), Amelia (Mia), Evelyn (Evie), Sylvia (Silvie), Lucille (Lucy)

Jessica Mae - nn Jessie which sounds spunky for a girl
I think Josie & Jessie sound kind of cute together
I think Piper is the spunkiest name of all though
Exactly my thoughts! Love Ruby.
Dislike Jessica, and Emma is way too popular.
I dislike your hubby's choices but love all of yours!
Good luck!! Go w/ your gut!
Ruby and Emma are my favorites. If you want to lean more traditional, I would go with Emma. I would pick Ruby if you want to be more modern.
GL!
