H and I are trying to narrow our names down for a girl, but neither of us seem to really like the names the other comes up with. My picks: Estelle Adeline
H's picks: Tabitha Amelia
Our "we're both meh so nobody wins but it's acceptable" pick: Adalind
We both love Charlotte, but it's too popular. There's already one at the daycare she'd be attending. We're team green, so watch it be a boy and make this all useless, ha. Our son's name is Milo, and the middle name we're going to use for a girl is Laurel.
Opinions on our picks? Any possible suggestions?

I love Tabitha! Tabitha Laurel is beautiful but I really like Tabitha Estelle. Both of your top choices are solid. I don't think Adalind is as strong. Good luck!
I say go with Charlotte. Amelia is on the top 10, so same as Charlotte, and Adaline, Adalynn, Adalinde are super popular and there's about 3 babies on my FB born this year named Adalynn/Adaline

Estelle, tabitha and laurel are lovely. I have such a positive association with Estelle because it's mu good friend's daughter's name and she's wonderful
I wouldn't discount Charlotte just for popularity, though, especially if you both love it. I checked the number of Charlottes born in my state last year and it averages out to about 2 per county. That is a pretty small number, actually. Amelia's popularity is pretty similar. Pockets of popularity can be kind of unpredictable. I know 4 Adelines and 4 Barretts just in my circle of friends, and all of their parents thought they were choosing a rare name.
Thanks for all the feedback! I like Adelaide and Elise, I'll run those by H and see what he says. As for using Laurel, it's actually my aunt's name, and since she's still alive, that would probably be a little weird.

Re: Can't pick a name for a girl
Suggest
Adelaide Laurel
Rosalind Laurel
Beatrice Laurel
Frances Laurel
Elise Laurel
Helena Laurel
Cordelia Laurel
Alice laurel
Matilda Laurel
Cecily Laurel
Another option is to take some time away from names. A week or two away from thinking about it might actually change your opinion about one of them.
I think all your picks are better than the compromise of Adalind.

My suggestion is for Amelia Estelle, just in case the middle name is subject to change.
