Here are what I consider our finalists to be. We've had a long list of other names we both like (Claire, Annabelle, Violet, Lily, Amelia/Emilia) just to get a sense of what we've liked and here's what I think we've narrowed it down to!
Personally, what I am going for is a pretty name that is easily recognizable, but she won't be one of 5 in her class. I don't have a set popularity level, but don't want something in the top 20 or higher.
What DH is going for is something not to "out there". The names he has suggested have all been pretty common, blah names IMO. He doesn't care if we name her the number one name in the country, so popularity doesn't bother him.
So here are the names being considered:
Margot
Julia
Elise (nn Lulu, and if you saw my other post, that is my sister's name, so she would always have to be Lulu with our family to avoid confusion, but could be Elise in school)
Georgia
Gabrielle, nn Gabby
Middle name will be Newell or Elise and last name starts with a P, is three syllables and ends with -y. Big brother is Connor.
Thanks!
