So, I'm due in four days and we have finally narrowed down our list to five we both like but now we're stuck. Nothing like waiting until the last minute...
I'd love some honest feedback on these names and any other ideas you think fit our style. I'd like to narrow it down to at least two before we get to the hospital. Oh, and DD#1 is Norah:)
-Eden
-Juliet
-Nina
-Lauren
-Audrey
Re: The final five..

Same here. Though they are all nice names!
My preference of your options, in order from favorite to least.
Juliet, Audrey, Lauren, Nina, Eden
O14 January Signature Challenge: Snow Fails
I think Lauren and Audrey go best with Norah. They make a classic sib set.
Juliet is also okay.
I dislike Eden. I don't it's appeal.
-Eden-- Cute and goes well with Norah.
-Juliet-- Love this name because it's classic and classy.
-Nina-- I don't love this name. I babysat a terror of a toddler with this name, and I don't like the "na" syllable at the end.
-Lauren-- It's alright.
-Audrey-- Again, it's alright. I don't like the "au--" at the beginning but that could be because I live in Chicago, so her name would always sound very nasally ("Awwwwwdree").
I'm voting for Audrey
I love Nina too, but it's too matchy with Norah for my taste.
Not a big fan of Lauren.
I really dislike Juliet and Eden.
I know Audrey is really popular, but I always had a soft spot for that name, and it goes very well with Norah.
I like the rest as well, apart from Eden. Not really my style.

Good luck deciding!

My order of preference:
Nina, Lauren, Audrey, Juliet, Eden.
I love Nina bc it's so uncommon-yet-simple. I haven't heard it in ages and think it will serve her well at all stages of life. Plus, it can suit whatever her personality is: elegant and sophisticated, tomboy, go-getter, any of them can be Ninas. I also think it's a fab sibset with Norah - quick and snappy to say

Thank you all so much for the feedback! It's wild to see so many people's opinions that mirror the dialogue I've been having with myself for weeks... Is Norah being too matchy with Nina? Is Eden not being the right "style" with Norah? Is Lauren too boring? Are Audrey and Juliet becoming too trendy?
I love hearing people's opinions, so keep them coming!!

Because your DD is Norah, I would eliminate Nina and Lauren.
I really like the other three, Juliet was one of our top picks last time. I love Eden too but DH would never go for it.
My thoughts exactly.
I think you have a great list, and you can't go wrong with any of those names!
Typically I don't like matchy sibsets, but something about Nina and Norah just seems to work for me, and I really like it.
I think Eden goes fine with Norah too, no style issues here. I do love this name. It just seems so fresh and pretty.
Lauren is classic and goes with Norah as well. I like this name and don't think it is boring.
Audrey is definitely more trendy in that it follows the patterns, but I like it better than those other trendy names. And Juliet is gaining in popularity; I hear it on here all the time, which worries me a bit too!
- Eden: I know a lot of people like this name, but to me it seems like one of those that are supposed to be spiritual but end up sounding trashy (like Nevaeh).
- Juliet - love
- Nina - love!
- Lauren - very nice
- Audrey - like
1) Lauren
2) Juliet
3) Audrey
4) Eden
5) Nina
