So DH and I did just as I was told to help with our search for a name for a girl. We took top 100 names from SSA from 2009 and scratched out what we couldnt deal with and out of those names we only had around 6 that matched. Here are a few combos of those names, some of the middle names are family names that werent on the list btw. Opinions are much appreciated

Re: Compromises! WDYT?
Nothing with Taylor. All the other ones are fine.
It's so interesting that you took the top 100. We've disqualified the top 100 on principle.
I was thinking the same thing..Blair is uncommon, and makes me think smart, beautiful, and classy. So I say make it a first name
BUT I just read OPs response that DH doesn't like uncommon or Blair lol. So nm, keep it as a mn

I'm so glad that y'all did this, and I'm a bit surprised that y'all only had 6 overlapping, but it just proves that this is probably the ONLY way y'all could've found something you both agree on. haha
I voted for Elizabeth Blair. It sounds perfect to me!
I love that Elizabeth is traditional and feminine. And one other thing that I really like about it are all of the nn options:
Elle, Ellie, Liz, Lizzie, Libby, Beth, and Betty (although some of those are more my style than others). And Blair is a classic Southern name, that I think goes with Elizabeth perfectly. (Bonus points for family names!) Did your husband say that he would be okay with it as a middle name?
I would still be interested to see what y'all come up with from the 100-200 list. You know, in my opinion, the names on that list are still very common. And a lot of them are classic, beautiful names, that aren't different at all. You've got nothing to lose by going through it.
Good luck!
