Baby Names
Need a f/n with Caroline as a m/n
We are pretty set on using Caroline as a m/n (Family name- I like it for a f/n but DH does not).
I need help with first names though... We've tossed around these. Last name starts with a B (German)
Sophia (Sophie) (but I feel it's really popular)
Isabella (same thing- too popular)
Audrey- my favorite (and my mom's name- but DH hates Audrey)
We like the name Eleanor (Ellie or Nora as a nn but don't think Eleanor Caroline flows...)
DH's favorite is Bridget (which is totally NMS and I really don't want to use!)
Any ideas? I feel like we're going to bring home a nameless baby!!

I like Audrey the best of those.
Other suggestions: Amelia, Addison, Alice, Evelyn, Gabrielle, Ashley, Georgia, Ivy, Annelise, Davina, Andrea, Georgianna, Michelle, Ida, Maya.
I love Audrey, too. I put that and Caroline in nymbler and got some of these that I think are pretty (some of these are my faves, actually!)
?Julia Caroline
Lydia Caroline
Anna Caroline
Victoria Caroline
Alexandra Caroline
Rebecca Caroline
Rachel Caroline
Jocelyn Caroline

I think it's hard to come up with first names because most names have a longer first name and a shorter middle name (i.e. Olivia Kate, Elizabeth Anne, etc.). I think if you use Caroline, you'll need a shorter first name to balance it out...
Reese Caroline, Lila Caroline, Juliet Caroline, Lillian (Lily) Caroline, Lucy Caroline, Laila Caroline, Olivia Caroline, Lydia Caroline, Leah Caroline. I think L names sound good with Caroline, apparently!
I'm one of the few (like your Dh) that isn't a big fan of Audrey. I think most people think of Audrey Hepburn, but for some reason I think of "tawdry." I like all of your other choices, though. You can't go wrong with the classic names you picked.
Good luck!
If you are going to choose a name DH doesn't like, then pick Caroline over Audrey. :-)
Unfortunately I am not a fan of any of your choices. I agree that Sophie and Isabella are too popular, Eleanor doesn't flow and Bridget isn't a good choice.
If you like Eleanor, how about Ella Caroline which flows better? I also like Vivienne, Lila, Juliet.
What about Eleanora Caroline? I think that flows a little better and if you like Eleanore it could work. I like it myself. Sophia is pretty too.
