I've been lurking for a couple of year in various boards but rarely post! With 5 weeks left until our second daughter arrives via csection, meaning I'll be too loopy to make make a decision at birth, we are struggling with a name. Our dd1 is Livia Mae. I LOVE her name. FN is rare despite its obvious connection to the popular Olivia names, yet very historical. We receive tons of compliments and it fits her!
Our current name choices for dd2 are:
Myla Elise
Elise Juliette
I think my husband prefers Myla as he thinks it flows better with our last name. My feeling is nothing flows with our last name, lol! Long Polish name with all barely any vowels! He also likes that it is less popular, but he will give into anything I like. i don't want him to just settle. I found that the name Myla dates back to the early 1900's.
I think I tend to prefer the classical Elise, but we do have a 2nd cousin with this name see maybe once a year and we are trying very hard to avoid duplicate names within the families.
Feedback? Thank so much in advance.

Re: Major lurker needs opinion for girl!
PP I do have a minor fear of the myla/mila connection as well. Mila is so popular. I'm afraid she often be assumed to be a Mila with a unique spelling. But I can get over that. With Livia I knew we would always have people thinking she is "Olivia." Sometimes we do, but I have always felt that those who need to know her name will. Teachers, family, friends, etc. I could really care less if the crazy old woman at the grocery store misunderstands her name! Lol!
make NO sense but we would
never be able to convince them of that and I would be annoyed by it! Ha!

Livia is beautiful!
I like Elise best, both independently and in the sibset. Myla always strikes me as containing a trendy y even though I know it's the normal spelling of the name.
Livia is great. Myla and Elise are really nice too.
How about Anya? I think it is so pretty, and you avoid the Mia/Mila issue.
