If DS had been a girl, he would have been Erin Avery or Erin Trudy (family name). In the running were Madeleine, Kaci, Aubrey, Rachel, Payton (DH was going to us the nn Sweetness as a nod to Walter Payton), Jordan, Sydney. Nieces' names are Keely, Marina, Elizabeth and Jane. Oh, and DD's name is Haley. It wasn't anywhere on our list before I got pg but we immediately agreed early on that that was simply her name and it suited her. Other H names might be Hannah, Heidi (we considered that too), Hagrid (just kidding), Hadley, Harper, Halle, Heather, Helen/a, Holly.
Our girl name when DS was born was Emerson Kathrinne (Kathrinne is a combo of both GM names - Kathleen and Corinne) and had tossed around the nn Emmy Kate.
Re: What would you name a girl if you gave birth now?
My daughter's name is Emerson and this next one is going by Landry Kate.
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
My current favorites are:
Amelia
Ivy
Violet
Vivian
Caroline Mary
Make a pregnancy ticker
Mia Jane
We also love Halle.
DC2's name will be Margot Claire if it's a girl. NN would be Maggie.
Just did a month ago, Dreya Catherine. DD1 is Lia Jean.
We also considered: Reese, Ava, Juliet and Cora.
DD is Madelyn Elaine.
We are deciding between Elise Katherine and Reese Elisabeth for this one if it's a girl.
