Hey ladies,
I'm excited to get some differing opinions on names. I've become obsessive about wanting a unique but not bizarre name for our daughter. DH thinks im a little crazy. He doesn't mind choosing a name that is common or popular while it irks me a ton. For what it's worth, He's Michael (doesn't get more common than that) and I'm Caitlyn (mostly Caity... common name, slightly more uncommon spelling) and our last name is uber Italian starting with an S and ending in an O (5 syllables). Here are the names we've discussed:
Isabelle (our favorite but i hate how trendy it's become)
Aurora
Quinn
Hailey
Zoe (Zoey)
Right now we're closest to choosing Isabelle Quinn but I'm worried I'll regret it because she'll be 1 of 10 isabelles in her classes. What are your thoughts ladies? Any other suggestions that are a little out of the box? I appreciate any thoughts/ opinions!
Re: Girl Name Debate.. need something unique but not weird lol
Quinn is masculine
Zoe is trendy IMO
Hailey is too cutesy for me
Bianca
Rosalie
Isadora
Nina
Seraphina
Penelope
Audra
Vivian
Helena
Miranda
Linnea
I also like..
Zoe Isabelle
Zoe Quinn
Hailey Isabelle
I think Isabelle will translate better into adulthood than Zoe or Hailey though.
Mara, Audra, Iris, Sadie, Eleanor, Lila, Audrey, Delia, Bonnie, Violet, Calla, Isla, Clara, Eliza, Caroline
Also FWIW, Hailey is extremely common in my area!! I teach quite a few Haileys/Haleys.
What about Violet, Maeve or Willa?
I suggest Ariadne and Demetria
I have to respectfully disagree with everyone who says Quinn is a boys name. It might sound silly but it was a name of one of Barney's gfs on How I met your mother and Quinn was Daria's older sister on Daria (where i actually first fell in love with the name in high school hahaha).
Audra Quinn
Aurora Quinn
Quinn Isabella (as suggested)
Other suggestions

I know only one person with each name, and they are both beautiful/kind ladies.
I love Isabelle, we can't use it for family reasons. I can tell you from having an Ava, when you have a child with a popular name they will be one of many. But even with my other kids with less popular names (Tucker and Sadie) there are some in the school. If it's a name you love, just use it. She will be your Isabelle (or whatever you choose).
If you are looking for other suggestions I love Hadley, Harper, Lorelai, Lucy, and for the more Italian sounding names Giada, Giuliana, and Angelina.
I love meeting other Caitlyns! I agree it stinks that most people cannot spell my name, even on cards at my wedding lol so frustrating I want to scream "It's spelled right on the invitation!!!". Despite the spelling annoyance and the lack of finding stuff with my name on it as a little kid (I always wanted a license plate or tooth brush that had it spelled right) I appreciate my more unique spelling haha. I appreciate your feedback! We are definitely coming to terms with accepting that it's okay if she's one of many isabelles if it turns out that's our favorite name. Now we just need to decide if that's the front runner haha. Naming a human is so much pressure!
