Hi Ladies, 

It has been like pulling teeth but DH and I have finally come up with a list of names that we both agree on.  Here is our final list.  Which name do you like best?  Our last name is 3 syllables, begins with D.  Any advice/input is greatly appreciated!

- Charlotte
- Claire
- Elizabeth
- Juliana
- Juliet
- Katherine

    Honestly they are all fine names.  I think Claire is my favorite, especially with a long last name.
    This is what I'm kind of concerned about.  I don't know if the 4 syllable names (Juliana, Elizabeth) are too much with a 3 syllable last name, especially since we don't want to do nicknames.

    I would pick Katherine, but with a long last name, I'm going with Juliet.

    ETA: I realize they have the same amount of syllables, but it is a few less letters :) LOL. IDK. Maybe I just like Juliet better.

    In order from favorite to least favorite:

    Elizabeth -- For the nicknames. I love the amount of them, and I'm especially fond of Betty and Betsy. I think it's a really versatile name.

    Juliet -- Pretty and even though it has 3 syllables it still looks short.

    Katherine -- Again, nicknames. I prefer it with a C. Somehow it looks 'harder' with a K.

    Charlotte
    Claire
    Juliana -- I just am not wild about this name. It's a fine name, but the most NMS of them.

    I honestly love all. But I'm going with Claire, since you appear to have a longer last name. It might flow the best in my head.

    Your list is very similar to ours! :)

    -Charlotte: Love! This is probably one of our top contenders.
    - Claire: We've considered this as a MN. It's too simple for my taste as a FN.
    - Elizabeth: Classic, beautiful.
    - Juliana: Love! Another one of our top contenders.
    - Juliet: We almost went with this a FN, but decided we liked Juliana better. I'm definitely considering it as a MN option, and I still think it's a gorgeous (and not overly used) name. 
    - Katherine: A classic and I like it, but I find it a tad bland. I prefer it as a MN.

    I like Claire best with a longer last name. We have a long last name also, and I'm so glad we went with a short name.

    They're all gorgeous names. It just comes down to personal preference...I'd say Claire or Charlotte since you have a long last name. Elizabeth and Juliana could end up being a moutful when you add the middle and last names.

    All lovely names!
    Maybe Claire because of the long last name. (I have the same situation..)

    Claire! Almost all of those names were on our short list, but Claire is my all time favorite girl name.
