Hubby loves the name Savannah, and I really like it as well. I still don't feel like it's 'the one' though. The only other name in consideration right now is Mia. I personally don't know a single Mia, but am being told that it's very popular right now. Votes between these two options so far...?
Re: baby girl - thoughts
If you are just looking for anecdotal evidence, I know one Mia that is a toddler.
Mia was #8 on the SSA for 2012. That's pretty popular in my opinion.
Popularity varies per state, so it could be lower in your state, or maybe you personally don't know a lot of babies or toddlers (or maybe you do-- only you know).
That being said, I slightly prefer Mia, but both names are lovely.
If you like Mia, have you considered Maya or Pia? Both are considerably less popular.

A/S findings: Baby is a girl! EIF found on heart but maternit21 came back neg for chromosome disorders!!
Ironically I know four savanannahs and only two Mias. so.... they're kind of the same in popularity level as far as my aquantances go. I think it depends where you live.
I infinitely prefer Mia, but Savannah is ok too.
I only know 1 Mia whose actual name is Maria. I'm not personally a fan on this name as a stand alone, but it's not bad.
Between the two, I prefer Savannah. Other similar names: Sienna, Sierra, Scarlett.
mia.
not a fan of savannah.
