DD1 is Lila Jean and I love Greta Lynn if DC2 is a girl. DH needs convincing. WDYT? Which spelling do you prefer?

This. I prefer Gretchen to Greta, personally.

I agree, but my name is Gretchen so I'm a bit biased.
But with Greta v. Gretta, I'd go with one "t."
I have friends with a 2yo named Greta and I think it's such a sweet name!
2 Ts looks odd. Use 1.
NMS .. reminds me of Gertrude or like you're trying to say Loretta Lynn

Love, love, love it! This is one of my favorite names, but got vetoed by DH.
I'm partial to out-of-the-ordinary spellings, so I like both 1t or 2ts.
I babysat a little girl who spelled it Gretah, and she was adorable.
Gretchen was our choice if we'd had a girl... Greta is a nice variation. I'd go with the more common "One T" spelling, tho.
I like Greta. It is nice and classic, and not too popular, but not too unique.
I knew a girl named Gretta once, and while I think I prefer the "original" German spelling with on T, I don't think 2 are that bad.
