in Baby Names
My husband and I have pretty similar (and traditional) taste when it comes to names, but are having a really hard time narrowing down our list. Which are your favorites? Which are you sick of?
Girls: Grace, Katherine (Kate), Emory, Avery, Emmaline (pronounced Emma-line), Tess, Claire, Brynn, Meredith, Mallory, Madeline, Samantha
Boys: Owen, Eamonn, Carson, Thomas, Elliot, Ryan, Sean, Weston, Holden, Graeme, Ethan

Re: Need Help Narrowing It Down...
Girls: LOVE Meredith & Mallory!
sick of Emory, Avery & Claire!
Boys: LOVE Graeme
sick of Weston..
good-luck!
I like -
Girls: Grace, Katherine, Claire, Madeline, and Samantha
Boys: Owen, Thomas, Elliot, Ryan, and Ethan
Girls: Love: Tess or Tessa, Brynn, or Samantha
I think the others are nice names, but have been very popular lately, including Grace, Katherine (Kate), Avery (for a boy and for a girl), Claire, Madeline
Boys: Love: Owen (somewhat of a popular name but I still really love it), Thomas, Elliot
It's a good list. I only feel strongly negative toward a few (Carson, Weston).
If I were choosing, it would be Emmeline or Eamonn.
Girls

line, Tess

Boys
Like: Eamonn, Thomas, Graeme
Meh: Carson, Holden

Baby Name Popularity by State
I love Grace, Katherine, Claire, and Brynn. For boys, I love Carson, Ryan, Owen, Holden, Ethan, and Graeme.
I'm sick of Madeline and Avery.
The rest are NMS.
Girl names I love: Grace, Katherine (Kate), Claire, Tess, Meredith
Like: Mallory, Avery. They're all right, but I like your other names so much more.
So sick of: Emory, Emmaline, Madeline. So tired of these names.
NMS: Samantha. It seems dated.
Boy names I love: Owen, Ryan, Sean, Thomas. Owen is really popular, but it's a great name.
I like Ethan.
I am sick of or just don't like Graeme and Holden and Weston.
