I did not take DH's last name when we married. We decided that our children would have my last name as their middle name and DH's last name for their surname. That being said, all we have to pick is the first name!
We agree on Alexander if LO is a boy.
Girl names:
1. Alexandra
2. Evelyn
3. Vivian
4. Eileen
What's your pick?

Side note. Completely missed the Alexander part. If you think you my have another and Alexander is your selected boy name and you have a girl this time I would obviously not use Alexandra.
this
1. Evelyn
2. Alexandra
3. Vivian
4. Eileen
I would like to add
Felicity

Great point, I agree
Eileen is my favourite by far.
But I also like how both Evelyn and Oliver have a single V and the same number of syllables (if you pronounce it Ev-ih-lyn, as opposed to Eve-lyn -- and I have heard both girls and boys pronounced Eve-lyn, though it is more common for males).
If you might have another child then you should probably eliminate Alexandra and save Alexander for a boy.
They are all really nice names, but my preference in order is Vivian, Eileen (family name for us, I'd consider using it for a DD), and Evelyn.
