Baby Names

Opinions please!:)

My DH and I found out yesterday that we are having another girl!!! I'm so excited and happy that my DD will have a sister.  We had a really hard time picking out my DD's name (Anna) and again are struggling with a name.  We like traditional names that aren't too popular. What do you think of the following names...and any new suggestions? 

TIA!

Elise (nn Ellie)

Molly

Caroline (think this is getting too popular??)

Natalie (really dislike the nn Nat though)

Re: Opinions please!:)

  • I love Natalie, Elise/Ellie is very cute too

  • If you don't want her to be known as "Nat" just don't encourage it. I have a friend from college named Natalie and no one calls her Nat. Ellie is super cute and so is Molly. I know 4 girls named Caroline...Good Luck!

  • I like them all - especially Elise and Natalie......she need never be called Nat unless you encourage it.....

  • Caroline is (and always seems to be) popular. 

    I feel like Natalie is kind of popular too, but maybe that's just in my area.

    I like Caroline. Who cares if it's getting popular?

  • I'm partial to Molly since that's my name, although my given name is Milena.

    I like all of your choices, and agree with you on not liking the NN Nat for Natalie.

  • I like Elise and Caroline the best. Molly is fine too.

    If you really  hate Nat, maybe not Natalie since I am sure at least in high school or college, some friends may call her that.

  • I like Elise and Molly, don't mind Caroline but not in love with it. Natalie seems a little 80s to me for some reason! FWIW, I had a good friend in H.S. named Natalie that a few of us called Nat. Her family called her Natalie. So, it is possible that people will call her that. We are in a similar dilemma as you: we will call our son Patrick bc we dislike Pat, but have accepted that friends may call him Pat, and he may even like Pat!
  • I love Molly.

    Also, you could use Talie as a nn for Natalie....I think Talie is cute!

  • Elise

    Molly. I love this name! Anna and Molly sound like sisters :)

    I've never been a fan of Natalie. I had a friend in HS named Natalie and a few people called her Nat. Elise is pretty, but isn't a classic name like Anna. I love Caroline, but feel it is getting very popular. ?

  • My niece's name is Molly, and I absolutely love it!  It's a good sibling name for Anna too.
