Below is my list for girls names, my DH and I cannot agree at all! He likes 70's style very plain names and I prefer something southern, classic and elegant. I also want to try not to choose a popular name...I have a name like that and it's tough being 1 of 4 in the classroom! Can you ladies help me put together some lovely names out of this list? Many thanks!
Ella Kate Cora Brynn Elise Olivia Ashby Grace Avery Finley Emery Emerson Emory Vivianne Alexandra Annabeth Emmeline Annabelle Isabelle Audrey Annalise Isla
If you're having trouble pairing names, and you personally like southern, one syllable middle names tend to flow best with longer first names, in my opinion.
Finley Kate Isla Grace Emerson Grace Vivianne Kate Cora Grace Emmeline Kate Avery Grace Etc...
Just flow wise without the southern charm, I like short first names with long middles.
Brynn Alexandra
All "Elle/Ella" names are getting crazy popular, so if that's a concern for you, I'd stay away from Ella, Isabelle, Annabelle, etc. So is Olivia.
Ella - popular Kate - classic Cora - like Brynn - dislike Elise - ok Olivia - extremely popular Ashby - eh Grace - love Avery - boy name Finley - boy name Emery - boy name Emerson - boy name Emory - no Vivianne - Vivienne is fine. Alexandra - classic. Annabeth - no. Emmeline - good choice. Annabelle - no. Isabelle - extremely popular Audrey - love Annalise - no. Isla - love.
I'd pick Isla Kate or Kate Alexandra or Isla grace or grace Isla or grace Alexandra or Cora grace.

Ella Kate Cora Brynn Elise Olivia Ashby Grace Avery Finley Emery Emerson Emory Vivianne Alexandra Annabeth Emmeline Annabelle Isabelle Audrey Annalise Isla
Cora Annalise Cora Emmeline Ella Alexandra Ella Vivienne Audrey Grace Audrey Emmeline Alexandra Elise Isla Elise Isla Alexandra Olivia Annabelle
I would toss Brynn, Ashby, Avery, Finley, Emery, Emerson and Emory..they're all very masculine and you have other names on your list that are so much prettier!!!!
Ella -eh Kate-nice Cora-old lady Brynn-no Elise-0k Olivia-way too popular Ashby-what the hell is an ashby? Grace- love Avery-boy Finley-horrible boy name Emery-boy Emerson-boy Emory-ugh Vivianne- vivian vivenne Alexandra-eh Annabeth -ok Emmeline-no Annabelle-no Isabelle-love Audrey-love Annalise -no Isla-ok
@CML11 thanks! DH and I are polar opposites on this subject, I think he is on board for Ella Grace but is shooting down the rest of my choices! I really wanted a daughter named Vivienne, so we could call her Vivi!
@dukegirlsc MH is just meh on every name. Won't do a family name and doesn't like anything too unusual. So far I have 3 that he hasn't shot down for girls and I don't know how I feel about them (for boy's names, we have too many choices!). The names he likes: Nora/Norah Mariah Meredith
He's shot down some really good ones. Here's some of my favs that I can think of off the top of my head. Elianna Rosalie Evelyn Amelia Olivia Plus a huge list of already taken names by cousins with the same LN. If we have twin girls I don't know what we are going to do!
@CML11 I feel your pain with the shooting down of names, it gets to be exhausting trying to please them! I really like Nora and Elianna is just lovely! You could try the water drop technique I am employing, just keep dropping the name you like best into the conversation till it wears him down, ha! and of course if you start talking to the belly and calling the baby by name..he won't be able to imagine anything else. It's manipulative, I know, but I think our daughters will thank us!
@CML11 maybe he wants an Avengers son! :-O my DH doesn't even refer to the baby yet…I think that will change after the u/s next week, I am on pins and needles!
Re: lots of girls names I love but pairing them up is a problem!
Emory Emerson emery Finley Brynn and Avery are male names so cross them off
Ashby is just ridiculous
Isla is becoming more popular for sure
Annalise many people say sounds and looks like anal ease
I would say Alexandra Beth
Grace Catherine
Vivian Kate are best
Finley Kate
Isla Grace
Emerson Grace
Vivianne Kate
Cora Grace
Emmeline Kate
Avery Grace
Etc...
Just flow wise without the southern charm, I like short first names with long middles.
