Baby Names
Narrowed down names list
We go for our anatomy scan tomorrow, so we really wanted to have a narrowed down list before then. I don't think we will actually decide on the final name until he/she is born, but I'd love to gauge if "strangers" are leaning one way or the other on any of the names. For girls, every name except Violet is a family name (all aunts on my side). For boys, all of the middle name options are family names (Kyle is my brother, James is his middle name and my BIL's mn, and Matthew is my husband). And I know a lot of people prefer the "Reid" spelling, but I like nature names, and I think Reid looks more last name-y.
Girls:
Evelyn Violet
Charlotte Rose
Charlotte Elise
Boys:
Reed Kyle
Reed Matthew
Logan James
I don't know what's up with my siggy and I am too lazy to figure it out.

Re: Narrowed down names list
after anovulatory diagnosis and TTC for 1 1/2yrs with several medicated cycles and one chemical pregnancy, we have our first bundle of joy!
IT'S A GIRL!

I don't take one single minute for granted.
Girls:
1) Charlotte Elise, 2) Charlotte Rose, 3) Evelyn Violet
Boys:
1)Reed Matthew, 2) Reed Kyle, 3) Logan James
LOVE:
James, Violet, Kyle, Matthew
LIKE:
Reed, Charlotte, Rose, Elise
HATE:
Logan, Evelyn
Girls:
Evelyn Violet - doesn't flow right to me; I like Evelyn Rose if you are taking suggestions
Charlotte Rose - this is my favorite
Charlotte Elise - I like this one too
Boys:
Reed Kyle - too short IMO
Reed Matthew - my favorite
Logan James - close second
Love Evelyn and the Charlotte name combos (with preference for Charlotte Rose). Not a fan of Violet.
I love the name Reed, and think Reed Kyle is a better option than Reed Matthew. I don't like Logan.

I love all your girl names. I can't pick one! For boys, I love Logan James.
I love all of your girl names! It's hard to pick a favorite, but based off the information you gave regarding family names, I'll go with Charlotte Elise.
I like the name Reed, and since Matthew is your H's name, I'd go with that one.
GL!
I also love the names Evelyn and Violet, but agree that Evelyn Violet doesn't have a flow.
My favorite girl name you have listed is Evelyn. I prefer Evelyn Rose though.
My second choice would be Charlotte Elise.
I love all of your boys names, but in order:
Reed Matthew
Logan James
Reed Kyle (doesnt flow as nice to me)
Another option ... Reed James.

I am kind of glad that you ladies picked up on this. I was worried about the 'flow' myself, but I really really wanted to get Violet in there somewhere, since DH won't go for it as a fn and Charlotte Violet obviously doesn't work!
I will probably consider changing the mn for Evelyn to Rose. Even though it is a 'filler' mn, it means the most out of all the names, as it is after my aunt who passed away from cervical cancer ten years ago.
Thanks everyone for your input, keep it coming! FWIW: I am not in love with any mn for Reed, but that is our front-runner boy's name. I would love to honor either my brother, Kyle, or both of our dads, who are Michael and Timothy, but it just isn't working out that way.
Charlotte is pretty but quickly becoming VERY popular, I know 3 under age 5! I love Evelyn Elise, I like the 2 E's together.
I like Reed Matthew for a boy
