Thanks for the input! What’s funny is that when I brought up Sienna to my Mom, she said, “Like the van you just got?” We literally just got a Toyota Sienna two weeks ago and I didn’t even make that connection. LOL
Vienna reminds me of that crazy blonde chick on the Bachelor a few years ago. Lol. Not that it matters. I like Vivian the most (that's on our short list, but maybe with the -enne spelling). It was my late Aunt's name.

@F47 I love the name Vienna! Unique but not weird. Would DH like Vivian if it was spelled Vivienne? Or is it the sound of the name he's not a fan of?

Clara Elaine Margaret Elaine (nn Maggie) Isabel Elaine (nn Izzy)
eta: still team green, we like to go in with a list of 2-3 names to pick from when we meet the baby
Ooh I love them! If ours was a girl I had Clara, Isobel and Margot on the list, so very similar I'm guessing Elaine is a family name?
Also thanks for the positive feedback I think we'll call him Teddy when he's really little, then he can graduate to Theo haha And Walter is his great grandfathers name
Me: 26, DH: 26 TTC #1 since July 2016 Dx: PCOS, on Metformin since Feb 2017
Thanks everyone! Yes, Elaine was my pseudo grandma who passed in 2012. She was actually my maternal grandmas best friend but never got married or had kids of her own so she adopted us/we adopted her. She had such a huge impact on my life and I am really hoping for a girl so I can honor her memory in name!
Margaret is my favorite too but DH is only lukewarm. I am not above pulling 'I carried this thing' if we meet baby and he/she's totally a Margaret!
Clara sounds best with DS's name though (Connor) - hubs likes the alliteration so that's his favorite.

@jsnakeheole guess I won't be using that! lol. But, seriously DH just kinda vetoed Rose anyway.
Oddly enough my MIL emailed my today and said she had a dream we had a girl and we named her Daisy and all I could think of was that Daisy sounds like a pornstar.
I am really liking Evelina... however my name is Alina so ppl are saying it's too similar. I am not sure why I don't care about the similarity - thoughts about the name in and of itself? I would probably use a nickname like Evie or Ev or Eva or something most of the time anyway.

Evelina isn't quite my style but I don't mind it. I would personally go with Evelyn instead - your nicknames would still totally work
@melissaf22 I don't think barf when I read BRF at all. Could be worse... we have the issue of most names we like spelling out words... like POT, LIT, TOT, SIT, KIT, etc...
His three plus my one; we are all excited to welcome a little one!
@alinafed How do you pronounce it? Ev - ah- leena? Eev - ah - leena? Ev - eh - leena? I think I like it.
Ev-eh - leena I guess, though it was hard for me to figure out if it was ah or eh because it's subtle and not a super obvious sound in either direction lol.
Re: Names you actually want opinions on
Im obsessed with Vivian, but H doesn’t like it. Sigh.
I think Sienna is pretty.
