first stages of finding a girl name!

Bootsie81

We just recently found out we're having a girl so we're still in the first stages of finding the right name.  I have a Gavin and a Natalie already, so something that sounds nice with those names. 

My list so far:

Angela

Rebecca

Julie

Jenna

Lydia

Valerie

Janelle

Any strong opinions on these names?  I have no clue about what the middle name will be yet.

Those are all nice names. The only +/- I have for them are personal connections. Like DH's ex or relative's names.

If you're looking for udeas, try searching your family tree and/or reading credits for tv shows and movies

Lydia is the only one I would drop, it's just overdone in my area at least and not as good as many other ones.

 Love Rebecca and Valerie.  I like Jenna, Janelle and Julie.  Angela is ok.

Lydia, Rebecca, and Jenna are my personal favorites.  The others are ok.  Are you planning on using a nn at all?

Julie is my favorite, but I like Julia or Juliet even better, and they're less matchy with Natalie. You could still use Julie or Jules as a nn.

I like Julia too, but my DH isn't crazy about it.  I'm not sure if we'll end up using a nickname or not.  We had planned on using a nickname with my daughter but 99.9% of the time we just call her Natalie.

I like Rebecca or Lydia best with your sibset. I like Julie and Valerie too, but they are a little matchy with the end sound being the same as Natalie. Jenna, Janelle, and Angela are dated and NMS.

Would also suggest:

Caroline

Abigail

Madeleine

Justine

Rachel

Clarissa

Samantha

Elsa1984

I feel like those names are kids born in the 80's. The only one I like out of them, is Lydia.

I have a Julia but I don't really care for the name Julie (we mostly call her by her full name and sometimes Jules.) From your list I really like Valerie and Lydia. Rebecca and Jenna are alright and I don't really like Janelle or Angela.
Suggestions:

Miranda
Laura
Vanessa
Sarah
Alison
Claire
Bridget

I like Lydia, Rebecca, and Julie the best. I don't care for Janelle. 

jessnjuan07

I like Valarie and Julie but I don't think it sounds right when siblings names end in the same sound.

Lydia would be nice. It is my favorite and sounds nice with Natalie. I also think Rebecca, Angela, and Jenna go well, though I'm not a fan of Jenna. Julia would work really well also. I also really don't like Janelle.

Other suggestions:

Angelica
Angelina
Veronica
Victoria
Gemma
Abigail

I know they're all legit but they seem very 90s.

mbecca11

Janelle is definitely my fave from the list.

I agree also. Especially Janelle and Angela

stlmomof2

Janelle reminds me of that Teen Mom that's always in trouble lol..

My vote goes for Valerie first, close second would be Jenna

Bootsie81

Thanks for all the feedback!  I'm keeping it all in mind.

djluschen

I like Rebecca the most. I think it sounds best with your sib set.

Sthines312

I love Julie

ashleyandely

I like Jenna the most on your list.

CC.to.be

My vote goes for Lydia first and Valerie second. Jenna is my least favorite but I associate the name w the train wrecks Jennna Jameson and Jenna Marbles.

MixedBerries88

I think they're all cute with the exception of Janelle. Valerie is also NMS but still a good name for a little girl.

valeriemarie24

I want to say Valerie since it's my name and I like it, but something about both girl names having an 'ie' ending would bug me. But if it doesn't bother you then that would be my vote!
I also like Angela, that would be my second pick. Then Rebecca third.
