Baby Names

Girl name list

Tried making a poll, but when I hit "post", it just goes right back to the same screen and doesn't actually post anything.  Hmmmmm....

We are having a girl and are trying to narrow down our list.  Both of our grandmothers are Elizabeth, and Ann is a family name on my husband's side.  Our son is Cooper James.

Here's what we like at the moment...what is your favorite?  Least favorite?  Other comments?

Anne Catherine (and call her Anne Catherine....maybe Annie Cate for short)
Catherine Anne (and call her Cate)
Clare Elizabeth
Charlotte Anne
Reese Elizabeth

  • #1 Clare Elizabeth (though I prefer it spelled Claire)

    #2 Charlotte Anne

    #3 Reese Elizabeth

    #4 Catherine Anne

    #5 Anne Catherine

    It seems like a very nice list. Classic and pretty.

    #2 Charlotte Anne

    #3 Catherine Anne

    #4 Anne Catherine (this would be #2 for me if it was Anna, though I realize you're using Anne because it's a family name)

    #5 Reese Elizabeth--I just can't personally get behind Reese for a girl because it's a boy name (Rhys/Reece) that has been turned into a unisex name and is now being taken over by the girls. It bothers me personally because Rhys is one of our top four boy names, so I'm frustrated by it's growing popularity for girls. Also, it seems very different than your other name choices: classic, feminine girls names vs. a unisex name.

    I like Anne Catherine or Catherine Anne the best. I like Clare Elizabeth and Reese Elizabeth the least.
  • Anne Catherine I'd prefer Anna Catherine for the purposes of flow. This is my favorite

    Catherine Anne (and call her Cate)
    Clare Elizabeth
    Charlotte Anne
    Reese Elizabeth 

    Reese and Charlotte are my least favorite. I'm so over Charlotte and Reese is NMS

  • Thanks for your opinions so far!  I agree that Reese is different in style....it was DH's idea and I don't hate it, although I don't think I like it as much as the others.  As far as using Anna Catherine....we have a close cousin who has a young daughter named Catherine (which is my longtime favorite) and just named her new baby Anna Caroline.  So I don't really think Anna Catherine is really an option.

  • Catherine Anne is my favourite...but I love them all except Reese Elizabeth. I only like Reese (any spelling) on a boy.

  • Favorites in descending order:

    Charlotte Anne
    Clare Elizabeth (prefer spelling Claire, though)
    Reese Elizabeth
    Anne Catherine (love Anne or nn Annie. Really don't like Cate/Catherine/etc)
    Catherine Anne

    Honorable mention not listed that tops them all: Anne Elizabeth 

  • Catherine Anne is my favorite, with Anne Catherine close behind.  I don't care for Reese and I'm over Charlotte.

  • charlotte anne and then (if it was spelled differently) clare elizabeth. annie cate is cute though.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I had a wonderful teacher named Sr. Catherine Ann, so that is my favorite from your list.

    I don't think Anne Catherine flows very well. 

    However based on your son's name, I think Reese Elizabeth makes the best sibset.
