Ok, I talked to DH last night and we are pretty much back to the same names we started out with way back in the beginning. So, here are the options for DD #2's name.
Harper Kate (DH's absolute favorite)
Tessa Kate (nn Tess)
Molly Grace or Molly Harper
Sydney Grace
Last name is Pond. Kate and Grace are both family names. Kate has a bit more meaning than Grace. We're open to other MN suggestions as well!
So what do you think?
Re: Please tell me your favorite!
DD is Tess Catherine and I love her name... actually would have preferred Kate for mn but didn't sound good with LN at all
Love Harper and Molly too- why not wait til you meet her!
Sydney and Harper are NMS. I love Molly, Kate, Tessa and Grace!
Tessa Kate is super cute!
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone

Harper Kate is my favorite!!!
I also like Harper Grace even though it wasn't one of the choices.

In a vacuum, I really like the name Tessa Kate, but the desiccate thing puts me off of it. Good point.
I like Sydney Grace, as well.
I like Molly Kate.
I'm so over Harper and I think it's going to sound quite dated because it's skyrocketing in popularity (probably moreso with the Beckham's using it).
What's your favorite? Like, if you got to decide w/out YH's opinion at all, what would you pick?
I love Harper and Molly (Grace or Kate w/either sounds good too). I'm just worried that you don't seem super excited about any of these.
I really don't know what my deal is, lol. I really do like all of these names, and for a while I was really excited about Harper. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands and I've become a little obsessed. Or maybe because Harper has gotten so many mixed reactions from people that I'm letting it sway my decision.
I guess I'd have to say Harper is my favorite.
Thanks so much for all the input!
I did this too, and still do every once in a while. But what really does it for me is when I see her name written on a card, or when someone else says her name. It makes it "hers" and all of a sudden I don't care what other people think, it's just right.

Harper Pond is a bit of a mouthful - not a fan of Harper.
i like Molly and Tessa

My Married Bio
In order of my personal preference, if it were my baby to name:
Tessa Kate (Tess is a sweet nickname, and don't let the "dessicate" thing freak you out...honestly, how many people in day to day life even think in that much detail?)
Molly Harper (Molly is a cute, spunky name, and you could name her Harper without making it her first name, so it has all the elements you've mentioned before)
Harper Kate (I like the sound of these two together)
THIS! If you both agree, go for this one.
My choice would be Tessa Kate.
I would through out Harper. I don't think it goes with Ava as well as Tessa.
I love Molly but I don't think it matches Ava as well.
Sydney is nice too.
I just read the dessicate comment--- I wouldn't let it impact my decision.
What about Tessa Grace? I really like Tess as a name.
Wow, I really appreciate you all putting up with me and continuing to help me out.
Part of me thinks I should stick with Harper Kate, but I really liked the suggestion of Tessa Harper too!
If I were the type of person who had any sort of patience, I would wait to have her to pick, but I'm just not sure I can wait! Thanks again!
I like Tressa as opposed to tessa. it just has a little more something to it yah know?
As for the others I like Sydney best..
