Girl name woes

lemondrop123

I am really having girl name trouble.  I only like a handful of names and they are names from my generation mostly. I do not like trendy, popular names like Madison, Cloey, Zoe, Ashlyn, etc.  I like older names but that seems to be the new trend so I am trying to stay away from the Ava, Eva, Caroline, Greta trend too...

Here's my list:

Whitney

Bethanny

Mallory

Hadley - husband doesn't like this and I know it's kind of a trendy name...

I love Allison, Lauren, Emily, Katherine, Elizabeth etc. but those are all sibling/1st cousin names...so yes, I have 4 names on my list and really only like Whitney!  Perhaps it is decided then?!  

Never have been a fan of Jessica or Sarah either, fyi!

I like Whitney and Bethany (one 'n'). Mallory is on DH's list. Hadley is icky. Here are some others you may like (based on Whitney and Bethany as inspiration on Nymbler): Portia, Tabitha, Elyse, Shelby, Leslie, Krista, Hannah, Courtney, Cassandra, Erika, Samantha, Lindsay, Katrina, Lydia, Sabrina, Blythe.

Personally, I think I like your choice of Whitney out of all of them. It's a good name, uncommon, under-used.

I think Whitney is really lovely and def. not trendy.  Its really refreshing I think.

My husband and I love the name Mallory, it was on our list.  We do factor in name meaning, and Mallory means unfortunate one/unlucky.  I kept having flashbacks to 9th grade where we had to do a short research paper on our name and give a presentation. . . and if my baby is a girl, I couldn't name her that knowing the meaning.

Maybe you don't care about name meanings, but wanted to help you out if you do.  We still love Mallory, but we have like 8 names on each sex, so it was nice to strike one out.

Bethany is the only name from your list that doesn't feel ungodly dated to me.

Have you considered Brooke or Morgan? Both are from our generation, but have a fresher feel.

My sister's name is Jessica Whitney....I love it

I think Whitney is a great name...not overused nor completely "out there."

I actually really like Whitney, Bethany (with one N), and Mallory. Hadley is just super ugly, IMO.

I love Whitney! Go for it!

Bethanny I prefer spelled with one N, but I think it's a great name. Mallory is okay, but Hadley is really not my style. It reminds me of Hedley Lamarr from Blazing Saddles.
