Name Poll!

meganwvu8 · April 2016

Hello May Moms! I am 32 weeks and we still have not locked in a name for our little girl, so thought I would reach out for some opinions. We have narrowed the first name down to two but I absolutely cannot decide which I like better and my husband can't either. The two names are Caroline and Emily. Her middle name will be Evelyn after my grandmother and our last name is one syllable beginning with G......so which do you like better, Caroline Evelyn or Emily Evelyn and why? Thanks for your help! Hope everyone is feeling great....we're in the homestretch!

I personally like Caroline Evelyn for a few reasons.
1) Lots of nickname possibilities with Caroline
2) It isn't quite as trendy as Emily so she could be the only Caroline in class
3) Initials for Emily Evelyn would be EEG which is an actual medical acronym
3) I just like the sound of Caroline Evelyn vs the more alliterative Emily Evelyn

But really, go with your gut and keep an open mind. Try them both out and see what feels best for you. Good luck!

These are the same reasons why I vote Caroline.

I once heard the best baby name fits these qualifications:
A ) everyone knows it
B ) everyone likes/loves it
C ) no one has it
I think Caroline fits all of those!

Are you planning to announce it soon? You could always wait till you've given birth and see which fits her best.

I like the flow of Caroline Evelyn better.

We did the same thing with our first born. We had a few names that we liked but once he was born we knew he was a Sawyer.

I do like Caroline Evelyn more but I don't dislike the name Emily.

I agree with PPs, I prefer Caroline Evelyn, but I don't dislike Emily Evelyn.

Same. Caroline Evelyn.

Ooh, I'm going to have an UO:)

I like Emily Evelyn:) It repeats the first syllable, but I think it flows better than Caroline Evelyn, which repeats the last syllable.

I vote for Caroline Evelyn. I suggest saying each out loud for awhile in conversation at home, that always helps me!

My mom is an EEG.. But people are dumb and always call her EGG.

Op love Caroline!
