Baby Sister Name?!

crizz13

I have a Lila Mary and recently found out she will be getting a baby sister. 

Middle name will be Carol (family name).

Favorites from my preliminary list? Other ideas? *** names are top 100 in my state for last year. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but a factor. 

Grace*

Eloise 

Jane

Hannah*

Harriet

Alice*

Anna*

Margaret (Maggie)

Clare*

ETA - last name is Italian - ending sound is a long "eee"

Love Eloise and Hannah. I like Claire too, but don't think it flows well with Carol.

Those are great names except for Eloise, which always makes me think of a cow.

One note about top 100 names: in my experience as a mom of older kids and a teacher, names from 30 to 100 of the top 100 tend to be pretty uncommon.  My son's name is #63 for his birth year, so well within the top 100.  This would disqualify his name for a lot of moms who want something unusual.  But in terms of actual numbers, this means that only 113 babies born in our state in that year actually share his name.  And I live in Maryland, which has pretty high population density.  He's been the only kid with his name in all 3 schools he's attended since kindergarten.

It's really the top 15 names, or even the top 10, that will put you in territory where your kid will have classmates with the same name.  For instance, the name Ryan was #4 in my son's birth year.  He estimates that there have always been 3 or 4 boys named Ryan in his grade, along with many other in grades ahead and behind him.

@neverblushed Thanks for your insight! That makes me feel better about some of the names I like!

My favorites from your list are Jane and Harriet. I really like Alice, but too many of the same letters as your daughter.
