Relatives: Rachel, Violet, Chloe (a bit popular but used to love it), Rosalyn, Elizabeth (I go back and forth on this as a first name because of DH's crazy aunt).
I won't list names DH vetoed because I'd be here all day, but other names I can't use are:
Audra and Audrey (SD is Aubrey) Dominic, Marissa, & Matthew (due to ln) Holly (we probably shouldn't use due to ln, but it's on our list for #3 anyway, as it's one of the only names we both like) Cameron & Reid/Reed (not that we're ever having a boy so it's been a non-issue)
TTC since June 2010.
DX hypothyroidism, pituitary hyperfunction, and PCOS.
On med/treatment break indefinitely. Not currently trying.
Lots of love to all of my Golden Girls!

Lol. I actually have a nephew named Forest, and the Forrest Gump association rarely comes up (to our surprise). He seems to own the name in everyone's minds. Maybe one day it will work out?
Silly DH says that the name Forrest will always be associated with Gump due to that movie. I try to tell him as a middle name, it would hardly ever be brought up. If DH has his way, we'll end up using Frederick instead.

Laura/Lauren -- rhymes with our last name
Leland and Lochlan -- dh hates Lochlan and associates Leland with Dog the Bounty Hunter
