DD is Josephine, NN Josie, but she was thisclose to being Elizabeth. You really can't go wrong here-- you can always wait and take all 4 names to the hospital and decide then.

That's probably what we will do. I was hoping the poll results would stir something up and help me realize which is my fave but not so much. We still have a few months to go...
I personally like them all. It's possible that if you don't have "the one" feeling with these names, that none of them are "the one". I wouldn't stop looking just in case. Also, maybe try pairing middle names with these to see how you feel. My DH was obsessed with Isla. I liked it but it didn't feel right. One day I was thinking about Isla with middle names and paired it with Frances and fell in love. I now feel obsessed with Isla Frances if LO is a girl. and all of the names I thought I loved that just didn't feel right, weren't right. Just a suggestion from my experience.

Thank you! That is so helpful actually. We've been at a standstill with boy names but today something just came to me and brought tears to my eyes... the perfect name! I do want to have a similar feeling with the girls name and I think finding the right middle name can get me there. Thanks
Also, I like Isla Frances together too! Neither one is my style but together it's very nice!

I've never been a fan of Alexandra; too harsh for my tastes.
people say "Alexandria" or otherwise pronounce it wrong and it drives me nuts.
