Baby Names
Confirmed: It's a girl! Now back to names!
Current frontrunners are Delaney and Riley...also kind of like Piper. Our last name is Smith, so I want something a little bit unique, but not to the point of being weird.
Anyone have any other suggestions that might fall in the "different but not too different" category?
Thanks!

Re: Confirmed: It's a girl! Now back to names!
Me too. The other two are very much NMS.
What about
Clementine
Louisa
Olive
Florence
Heloise
Imogene
I like Riley.
What about...
Amelie
Colette
Delaney is my new favorite name. DH says he doesn't like it but he does like the nn Laney.
My mission is to win him over on Delaney.
DH and I both liked Riley, but it is fairly popular just so you know, since you said you want something a little unique (it's in the top 50 according to the social security website). Piper is also nice and isn't in the top 100 either. Personally not a fan of Delaney.
Other names from our girl list - I liked Avery (similar in popularity to Riley though) and DH liked Felicia (which is very uncommon).
I only like Riley for the boy name it was traditionally. Delaney and Piper are just nms. I prefer Delaney over Piper though.
Some suggestions that aren't overly popular:
Eliza
Alaina/Elena
Savannah
Julia
Vivian/Vivienne
Gwyneth/Gwen
Greta
Jillian
Molly
Juliana
Lucy
Eleanor
Helena
I don't think these are really your style, but thought I would throw them out anyway.

This. Riley is pretty popular right now, and I knew an old man named Delaney (so it's out for me as a little girls name!).
Yep, I agree!
I don't think we have the same style at all... hmm. What about Leighton?
I actually did have Leighton on my list (Leigh is my middle name) but hubby didn't dig it.
I'm discovering the hardest part about naming is associations with other people, or names I like have already been taken by someone I know
Some of the "old" styles names mentioned above, while I understand they are coming back, give me too many reminders of lunch ladies and Sunday school teachers from my past
A lot of the others my friends or family members have already used.
With all the options out there, this is really hard!
I like Piper - but I see it on this board at least once or twice a week...sometimes more depending.
Delaney is a good name. I had a student named that once. I think it would grow up with a girl well.
Congrats! Some names with a similar feel to Delaney, Riley, Piper:
Ainsley Smith
Sheridan Smith
Kendall Smith
Logan Smith
Darby Smith
Chandler Smith
Hadley Smith
Macy Smith
Rowan Smith
Cassidy Smith
Whitney Smith
Aubrey Smith
Addison Smith

Great suggestions! And thanks for the support on Delaney - I think that is still my favorite at the moment but not ready to commit...haha
Here's a weird one for you...I know of a girl named Maguire and I always thought that was a cool name....too much? (the spell check doesn't like it!
)
