Baby girl name!

Both my husband and I are indecisive about baby names! And we just found out we are expecting a little girl. We've narrowed it down to two first names. We're struggling to decide and I would love to start calling her by her name and not "she" lol.

I can't believe how rude most of you are, get over yourselves. If you dont want to answer DONT, and get over it, Im so sick of how rude people are one here. Its a board for all of us to be supportive of each other.
Anyway, Hadley is also my name! I had no idea it was even popular, Im actually a little bummed to hear that, cus Ive had that name picked out since 5 years ago
But I obviously think its beautiful! I like Hadley Grace
To everyone else, thanks for the suggestions! Y'all are very sweet.
I wish the best to everyone with their pregnancies!
goodness don't jump on a post just to beat someone down!
What's wrong with traditional?
I've connected with many other moms here and have created some great friendships. Life is not all puppies and rainbows, and seriously if you read around here half as much as you say you do, you would have known the general consensus on baby name posts here.
I love traditional. I just put our name in my siggy- traditional and biblical! No one can possibly have something nasty to say about that!
You deserve a bumblebee today! Yay bumblebees! :bz
BTW, I think Reese Taylor is sweet.
And that is my UNPOPULAR OPINION even if it's not *gasp* Thursday.
Personally, I would rather receive name opinions from February 14 than the Baby Names board because everyone on that board seems to have developed the same exact taste in names due to posting together so regularly about the same subject. That board doesn't seem to be representative of the real world to me. It's a shame that doesn't seem to be on option here.

Baby J-Bug 2/8/14 My Wedding Bio from back in the day
I have to say this February2014 board is really a bit of a nightmare at times. I have been noticing a select group of people who seem to feel they run the board and constantly put others down who don't post enough or "properly" according to their "rules". I am a second time mom who went through ALOT in almost losing my first 24 hours after he was born and am now high risk for #2 because of it. I LOVED my experience first time around with the bump and May 2012 BMB and found it (the bump overall) very helpful. I did not have a lot of time to get on and read every post and comment on every post and no one had any problems with it. Now I have even less time, I browse when I can and what I read depends on many factors. I am not a person who shares all the intimate details of my losses and/or almost losses (of which I've had both).Everyone copes/grieves differently. I don't have expectations of how others "should" post or not post etc. (Well, I guess I do or I wouldn't be posting this now, I just don't get it) The way I see it, going through such traumatic experiences whatever they may be would make you less likely to focus on the small things and less likely to be negative and more likely to embrace life and focus on the positive. Why bother posting rudely back to someone for any reason? Especially someone who is innocently looking for advice/help. Just because they don't follow your "rules" for introducing themselves properly etc. Everyone's circumstances are very different, so why spend time judging others and/or putting them down...or just plain being rude/mean. Another PP had it right in saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say..." and by that I mean in attacking someone for asking a certain type of question, I agree if you ask for opinions you are going to get just that which certainly will include the good and the bad. If you ask for it you should be ready to hear honest opinions back. But to attack the question??? Why even click on a post that you know is a name question?? I mean really, "clogging our board", seriously....it is the internet and space is essentially infinite...skip the ones you don't care about and move on! Some may wonder why I did not do the same (simply skip and move on), I have already done just that quite a few times on this board when I have seen the select bunch of women who believe themselves to be "Preferred VIP" February 14 posters gang up and make rude comments to other innocent board posters. And while I don't really "have time" to be posting now, I am fed up and decided I would feel better if I replied and that is why I am doing so. I happened to click on this post because we don't have girls names finalized. (But does it really matter what I read or why??) I realize there is a baby name board too and I check it once in a while too. Quite frankly with my last pregnancy I was able to stay primarily on my birth month board and had a great experience. (But again who cares, check and post what and where you want). Not so much with this group of ladies and all their "rules" and rudeness. I feel bad for those who this is their first bump experience...I am here to tell you all birth month boards are not like this one. The only rules as I see it are the ones set forth by "the bump" itself which simply try to protect us all from real issues. My opinion here is just that, an opinion, take it or leave it, but I could not read another annoying rude comment without getting this off my chest. I do understand that some of those in question feel they are very supportive because they are able to reply to everyone's posts who are in distress etc., and it is wonderful that you are able/have time to do so. You ARE being very helpful/wonderful to those people but why not leave it at that. Respond and support whoever you chose but leave everyone else alone, let everyone find their place and support that works for them. If some Feb 2014 moms want to talk about baby names because that is their world right now and they are fortunate enough not to have gotten any bad news/results etc., let them be. It doesn't mean they are awful people. That is why it is a 'board" where we all can post a ton of different things and pick and choose what to read etc. Ok, sorry so long I just had to get that out. I really am not trying to offend anyone with this (though at times my preg hormones wanted to inject some things that I held back), just how I feel about the whole Feb 2014 tone and I do hope it improves. If not, I will ignore and continue to make the best out of my experience! :-)
-It's hard for me to understand why the women who hate these posts open them. There are plenty of posts I pass over everyday because I have no interest in responding. It's not hard.
-People keep saying "it's annoying," "it's irritating." Maybe some people are too easily annoyed? There are MANY things in this world that are irritating - I assure you asking a question about a baby name on a birth month board is not one of them.
-"I wouldn't go up to a stranger in a grocery store and ask then about naming my baby..." Irrelevant. OBVIOUSLY, it's a grocery store. if you were going to ask a stranger a question in that setting it would probably be food related seeing as food is the common denominator for all people in grocery stores. The common denominator here is that we are all having babies so why not ask a question that has to do with BABIES, naming included. Yes, I know, there is a baby naming board!! But really what is the difference if the question is asked here or there? Maybe the poster wants the women on this boards opinions because she is comfortable posting here?
-It's weird that so much energy is put into shaming these woman for asking a simple question. Stop letting something so trivial get a rise out of you!! She asked about her baby's name - so what? Who cares?
We are all women going through a very special, happy time in our lives. Stop cutting each other down for nonsense!
I really love being a part of this board and I don't consider myself a "white knight." I actually do not agree with many things the OP has said. But I do value the women's opinions on this board as long as they are conveyed in a constructive manner.
Peace and love, ladies!
I just think that it was easy enough to see what the post was as it showed it was a poll, and had "girl name" in the description. The board is full of so many posts that are not appealing to me (UO, FFFC etc) and I just ignore them. If something piques my curiousity, I'll open it it to see what the poster has to say, otherwise, I don't .
Also, as I've seen in several posts, ladies in Feb14 have said that the baby shower board and name boards are a bit harsh. I was hoping to develop some friendships in this group, and don't really want to ask a question of ladies who have never read a single thing about me/H/my life, so why would I want to post in a different group?
And p.s. - I 100% agree about gender shots... somethings don't need to be shared...
