Hi, everyone: DH and I have landed on the following finalists. Thoughts/preferences?
FWIW, we view the middle name Jane as the female "nod" to John, which is a significant family name for both of us. It's not a "must use," but that's why you see it duplicated in the options below.
Audrey Jane
Monica Jane
Camille Ariana pronounced ahna, not Anna
Thanks in advance!
Re: Top choices for a girl's name Opinions welcomed.
I don't think Camille Ariana flows as nicely as the other two.
Anna Catherine 7/23/2012, 35 weeks 5 days, 5 lbs 5 oz (PProm)
Baby Sam 10/4/2013, 36 weeks 2 days, 5 lbs 14 oz

NTNP Fall 2013 to focus on a healthier lifestyle
Audrey Jane -- nice, but Audrey is pretty common where I live. A safe choice.
Monica Jane -- a little different. People may think it's dated, or may perceive it as an interesting "throwback" choice. Flows well.
Camille Ariana -- although it doesn't flow well, I like Camille. Unusual without being weird. I teach in a Jewish school where Ariana is a fairly common name. It's almost always pronounced "ah-na" and rarely "anna."

I'm going to vote for Monica Jane!
Audrey has long been a favorite of mine. Camille is just ok. Monica is one I haven't heard in a really long while. Also, my 2nd grade teacher's name was Monica, and I loved her.
