Need Help Deciding

Chameleoncaretaker · September 2009

So my husband and I are stuck between two names...

Natalie Jane Vanella it means Christmas and Gracious which is nice since my Due Date is Dec. 8th

Sophia Harper Vanella it means Wise and Harp Player

Please chime in and let me know which one you like better and why! Thank YOU!

Both are pretty, but I really prefer Natalie since Sophia is CRAZY popular right now and I'd never choose a top 100 name, let alone a top 10. ?Even if you don't know any, you will when your kid starts school- it was #7 for baby girls in 2008. ?

Thank you I need this kind of feed back!

I like Harper out of all of those names, but I don't like Sophia. So, I would choose Natalie Jane. GL!

I love Natalie Jane--such a pretty name.

And as PP says, Sophia is way too popular.

I'm partial to Natalie since it's my name. I love Jane as a middle name.

Sophia Harper. Sounds very feminine and beautiful!

I like both, though agree about the Sophia popularity issue. For some reason, I read "Sophia Harper" as "Sonia Harper" and I liked that better. Sonia also means wise/widsom.

Natalie Jane is my fav.

I have a friend named Natalie Jane! I love it! I don't like Sophia and really dislike Harper.

Natalie Jane.

Sophie is overdone. Harper is far too close to harpy for me. I don't understand the attraction to that name at all.

Natalie Jane is great! I agree that Sophie is very cute but SO overdone. Plus I only think of Sophie the Giraffe (the super expensive must have teething toy). :-)

Natalie Jane definitely. Natalie is nice, and Jane is one of my favorites (it was my wonderful grandmother's name). Plus I've never really liked the name Sophia, and it's super popular.
