Help me with a first name!

My baby is now due on 12/23 due to preeclampsia if I can hold off that long. Bed rest for the last 4 weeks, two more to go!!

Since XH is not part of the picture, I need help with picking between two names. My family is completely sold on one, and is pressuring as much as they can (which really isn't much) in a nice, teasing way. So they are no help between the two.

Do you guys like Audrey Ann or Estelle Ann better? Both are family names, and both are very strong women who did amazing things. Audrey is getting pretty popular, but is Estelle too different/old?

Please tell me what you think! I won't take any offense if you hate both. That's why I am here!

    I like unique names. Audrey is way too popular for me nowadays. I LOVE the name Estelle. Classic and beautiful.

    I like Audrey but "Audrey Ann" is too much alliteration for my taste. Its way too sing-song. Estelle sounds better with "Ann" so if you are sold on Ann, go with Estelle.

    I love the name Audrey. I've only met one in my life & don't know of anyone naming their kids that. I think if you like the name go for it. And I don't think the sing dingy alliteration is bad, although I'm biased (DD is Eden Elizabeth lol)

    I think Audrey is getting way too popular and I don't mind the name Estella but don't care for Estelle.  I think golden girl Estelle Getty, No offense.

    I love Audrey (it rhymes with my last name, so it was out for both of my kids), but I don't like how popular it's getting. If you used Estelle, would you call her Estelle? I like Stella as a nickname for Estelle, not that you asked or anything. ;)
    She's crafty - and she's just my type.

    I like Audrey over Estelle but I think Ann as a middle name is too much. What about Audrey Estelle instead?

    Ann is pretty much set in stone as the middle name. It's my name, and my mom's middle name, and the strongest woman I know.

    I would call her Elle, instead of Estelle. I think I just have to see her first, then pick her name. 

    Thanks ladies! No offense taken to Estelle Getty, I think that's actually what's keeping me from the name. LOL

    I really like Estelle. Not at all common and very pretty.
