  • Charlotte, Tess, Abigail, or Katherine are my favorites. 

    I like Grace as a middle name.

    Emma is lovely but far to popular for me.

  • Thanks, all!  Based on the responses, Katherine (Kate) seems to be the runaway favorite.  Our only concerns with this name (because we both love it as an independent name) are:  (1) it sounds a little bit harsh with our last name, which ends in a hard "ck" sound (Charlotte has the same problem), and (2) I am worried about the rash of Princess-inspired Kates over the next couple of years (although it's not like Emma or Abigail are rare names these days...).

    Interestingly enough, Addison got zero votes.  :o)

    My favorites on the list have always been Grace, Adeline, and Emma, but Elsa is seriously growing on me.  My husband loves Abigail, which is just kind of NMS.

  • I really like Elsa. It is easy to spell and pronounce and it is not a boring super common name. I also think it's an elegant name that will work well when she is an adult.

  • I like Abigail, Elsa, and Tess the best, in that order. 
  • I have a Tess so I am partial- I love it!   Love Kate too
