So DH and I have been back and forth on Georgiana pretty much my entire pregnancy. We both love it but can't seem to commit, especially since we can't figure out a middle name (like, at ALL, we've tried everything). A few weeks ago I suggested Gabrielle Elizabeth and we agreed that while we like it, we don't love it, but at least it's something. At this point we're basically undecided so I keep making new suggestions and saying "we really need to name this baby" and DH just nods and then goes back to whatever he was doing. It's driving me nuts! There are a few names we both like but are hesitant to use because they're either too popular (we both have "top" names and while he doesn't really care, it's bugged me my whole life), or have associations that we dislike, or are too similar to DD #1's name (Jacqueline - we like Caroline). So I'm looking for opinions, please - what would you do?

Use Georgiana and skip the middle name (FWIW, DD#1 has a MN and any potential future kids probably will, too)
Use Gabrielle Elizabeth; at least you can both agree
Use Olivia (our top choice for a "popular" name); who cares how popular it is?
Use Heather/Amelia/Abigail, etc...(our top choices for "disliked associations"); you'll stop caring about that once baby gets here
Use Caroline (our top choice for "too similar" name); it's really not a big deal
Go back to the drawing board; you need to find something you love
Something else; please see below
I just want to see the results

Georgiana.
Can I suggest Georgiana Pearl?
I like Caroline, but with Jacqueline, my immediate association is with the Kennedys (not that that's a bad thing, but that is where my mind goes.)

I would also suggest trying out names to help narrow things down. Baby Name Genie website has this baby name test we found incredibly helpful when choosing. Things like, "Georgiana Renee, get back here!" "Georgiana Last Name's office. May I help you?" You can also try calling your baby different names for a few days to see what feels right. Good luck!

I think with a 3 syllable first name keep it short and sweet for the middle name. I hope you use Georgiana instead of Olivia, Olivia is so over used.
Good Luck!

It's perfect. Beautiful. Flows well. It's a plant name too like your DD's. Use it for a few days and I bet you fall in love.
