Help me!
1. Harper (love, but getting worried its becoming super popular) Trendy
2. Sadie Cute, but I had a rotten dog named Sadie.
3. Mackenzie (hubby's fav) Trendy
4. Piper Cute! My fave on the list! She can grow into this.
5. Stella (hubby dislikes, I love and can't let it go) If your DH doesn't like it, it should be taken off the list.
6. Sawyer (yes, for a girl) NMS, too masculine for me. I do know a little girl Sawyer and she is adorable, but its a boy name to me!
PS - DS is Samantha

I threw Stella in there hoping you would all love it and it would help me sell hubby on it! Haha! Lol over the dog comment!

Its so hard to pick a non trendy girl name! All others that aren't trendy seem 80's to me! Lol!

Harper - love it

Sadie - my dog's name, but I name my animals human names. Seems more like a nn though.

Mackenzie - seems dated to me, but goes well with DD's name in that it's longer and 3 syllables

Piper - really like this one even though it's trendy also. Goes well with DD's name.

Stella - if hubby dislikes I think it's off the table

Sawyer - horrible for a girl.

Suggestions:

Mallory

Natalie (love it and it pairs well with Samantha)

Victoria

Vivienne

I like sawyer and sadie and piper, i would go piper just because i dislike siblings with a "thing" to their names. all the same letter (though s is a common letter...) or all ending in "ey" or all names of places etc...but the names are dif enough this shouldn't be a problem (i like stella too, but if hubby dislikes, sorry:(

The thing about trendy is either you care or you don't. Trendy names, by my definition, age with a person in a "bad" way. IE- names like Tiffany, Tracy, Trish those are names that when you hear them you can venture a guess as to how old that person is. KWIM?

As for Stella- we can all drool over it, but I have learned that the husband species are quite stubborn! I love Piper! Its great name all around, IMO.

Harper - Trendy, NMS

Sadie - Adorable

Mackenzie - Trendy, but fading trend(?), NMS

Piper - Really like this one

Stella - if your husband doesn't like it you'll probably have to let it go

Sawyer - not a girl name for me, and I am not a fan of androgynous names

Starry Again · February 2013

Your DS is Samantha???? lol sorry I'm sure it was a typo.

My favorite of your list is Piper. Second is Harper. We had a dog named Sadie so to me it's a dog's name. Sawyer and Mackenzie I strongly dislike.

Guillerma · February 2013

Lol my hubby loves Stella, and I just can't get on board with it. I think of these, Mackenzie goes best with Samantha. I don't like the double s.

sarbieb · February 2013

Haha yes DD typo!

Guilerma can we switch husbands?

LaineyPaney · February 2013

I like Piper and Sawyer from your list

sunnyday016 · February 2013

Out of your choices, I like Harper & Sadie best.

Zimger · February 2013

1. Harper-Sounds like harping...as in nagging. I don't get it's appeal.

2. Sadie-I like Sadie. I think it goes nicely with Samantha

3. Mackenzie-Dislike...alot

4. Piper-I don't think it ages well.

5. Stella-This is my favorite from your list but if your DH doesn't like it then it probably isn't the right choice.

6. Sawyer-Great for a boy. Terrible for a girl.

Edit: Bumping while tired=poor spelling

5LittleBears · February 2013

Harper: Not a fan. WAY too trendy for my liking.
Sadie: Love Sadie!
Mackenzie: Dislike a lot! Hate even...
Piper: My name

I've always loved having it.
Stella: Adorable. Too bad H can't get on board.
Sawyer: Okay. NMS.

Ljd425 · February 2013

Harper - how is this trendy? I don't know any (other than Victoria Beckham's baby) I haven't seen it on any baby name lists and I think it is beautiful in the past, present, and future

Sadie - apparently very popular for a dog's name

Mackenzie - strongly dislike, seems 80s and only 80s..dated

Piper - Interesting, not sure how I feel about it, reminds me of a spunky little girl with short hair lol

Stella - I love this name, I prefer girly names like this

Sawyer - one of my fav boy names!

I LOVE Samantha!!

Mrs.G123 · February 2013

Piper! Cute with your dd!

Guillerma · February 2013

sarbieb:
Haha yes DD typo!nbsp;Guilerma can we switch husbands? nbsp;

Lol! I should probably warn you that he also suggested Bellum as the middle name to go with it.. Stella Bellum, or Star War, translated.

alohamora · February 2013

Your names are mostly NMS, but I am okay with Stella and Piper. I hate Mackenzie.

BlueRidge8 · February 2013

1. Harper

I will never get the appeal of this name. This is a harpy:

2. Sadie - I concur I only know dogs with this name and it sounds like a nickname.

3. Mackenzie - 80's

4. Piper - I don't mind this one, just NMS.

5. Stella - I like, but if your DH isn't a fan it goes.

6. Sawyer (yes, for a girl) - I have no words for how bad this is and how 2010 it's going to seem down the road.

Love Samantha!

LoCarb · February 2013

I love Stella too. Since your H is not on board can it be a mn?

sarbieb · February 2013

Thanks, everyone for your input! Whoever suggest Sarah rather than Sadie, my name is Sarah. And no, we're not trying to go for all S's, that's just been what we like. Man, I agree with you guys after reading all the helpful comments. I wish hubby would like Stella bc it's my favorite. Any other suggestions with Samantha are welcome! I may need to go back to the drawing board! Good thing I have 17 weeks to figure it out!

QueenHalloween · February 2013

Harper is the new Isabella. It's rampant! I'd choose something else.

Unfortunately I don't care for the others either. I'm no help! But I can emphatically say NO to Harper.
