Long time lurker but I think I'm finally ready to ask you ladies for your opinion. I know you will be honest, which is what I'm looking for!
We are expecting our third child, first DD. The four names we are throwing around are: Kate, Brynn, Blair and Darcy. Please give me your thoughts on each (if you don't mind) and any other suggestions that you think are a similar style.
We are having a much more difficult time with this baby than our first two DS!

I think your names are all over the place for style, so I'm not really sure what else to suggest.

**RATE A NAME HERE!**
My furchildren, Dorothy and Johnny
Thanks for your feedback! My DS's are named Jake and Ryan. My DH and I definitely subscribe to the idea that we name our kids what we want them to be called. However, after naming Jake (just Jake, not Jacob) I often feel like I wish he had more of a name, but his name suits him and it is what everyone calls him so it works.
I guess the same goes with Kate. It is the name we have both loved since our first DS 6 years ago, but now it seems kind of plain. Blair is my DH's middle name. We both feel like it is a more feminine name (though clearly my MIL doesn't....) and had thought about using it on a girl.
I don't like names that lend themselves to always being a nickname. I also really don't like Katelyn (or however its spelled) and Katherine is very overdone in our family so we aren't huge fans of that either.
Blair and Darcy are fine, but evoke the sense of 1980's preppies.
Brynn is also a fine choice IMO, but I don't love it.
