We're Team Green and I'm having a difficult time coming up with a name that I love. Boys tend to be much more difficult for me. Girls... I can think of a bunch of names I love. My daughter is Charlotte and to give you an idea of other names we like, I will list some below... please share some thoughts of your own. Any names come to mind? TIA
Caroline, Elizabeth (nn Betsy), Lily, Catherine, Kate, Sophia, Ava, Victoria, Jacqueline, Leah, Ainsley
Andrew, William, Bennett, Daniel, Desmond, Reid
Can you think of anything else or pair anything up to make a good first and middle name combo??
Re: 'Preppy' names and/or Classic names
I love Jacqueline of the ones you listed. I think it fits your preferences and is underused, especially compared with Ava and Sophia.
I think William Bennett sounds pretty cool too.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
I love preppy/classic names too. My DD is Katherine Grace (we call her Kate) and I adore her name. She is definitely a "Kate" but I can call her Katherine if I need to be more formal and occasionally call her Katie (very very occasionally). I love that her name is versatile and that she can decide what fits her as she ages.
Other names I have considered that fit the "preppy" feel to me: Caroline, Tessa, Allison, Lauren, Elizabeth, Claire and Abigail.
Tessa Claire and Allison Elizabeth were front runners had our DS been another girl.
Good luck!

I really like your lists (except for Ainsley and Bennett), so I guess I like preppy/classic names too. Some others from my list:
Girls: Alice, Cecilia, Colleen, Cora, Corinne, Diana, Felicity, Georgia, Gwyneth, Helen, Iris, Ivy, Irene, Jane, Jillian, Juliet, June, Kathleen, Leona, Lucy, Nadia, Nina, Rachel, Sabrina, Victoria
Boys: Alec, Arthur, Calvin, Charles, Donovan, Graham, Ian, Joel, Lawrence, Leo, Lewis, Miles, Neil, Simon
How about:
Lydia Hope - my first choice if DS would have been a girl. DH vetoed.
Samantha, Danielle, Savannah, Juliet, Rebecca, Emily, Sarah, Hannah
Logan James - my first choice for DS, but DH didn't like it.
Christopher, Bailey, Colby, Patrick, Phillip, Victor, Levi, Wesley, Kevin, Brett
Love your choices and style
My little girls are Elizabeth Grace (nn Ellie) and Abigail Jane (nn Abby). I also really love Molly, Claire, Catherine and Caroline.
I'm 34wks with baby#3 a boy! and yes, boys names are much tougher. DH's name is Daniel so that will be our middle name and we're deciding between Owen and Benjamin for the first name. Also like Henry, James, William, Jacob and Andrew.
good luck!
