I am 31 weeks pregnant and still can't decide on a name for a girl. Our last name is Harris. We have several names we like Hailey, Avery, Madeline and Stella. Please let me know your opinion. Also, having a hard time coming up with middle names as well.

Thanks!

Hailey -The double H with your last name doesn't flow well. But I like the name.



Avery - It's traditionally a boys name but I like it alot. Very cute. Recommend girly mn for balance.

Madeline - Love this name. It's more traditional then the first two. I tend to like less traditional names but this one is good.

Stella - This one reminds me of A Streetcar Named Desire and an episode of Seinfeld when Elaine quotes the book/movie (very funny episode BTW)

Mn options for my top two:

Madeline Alaina Harris

Madeline Elizabeth Harris

Madeline Laine Harris

Madeline Stella Harris

Avery Madeline Harris

Avery Ellen Harris

Avery Evelyn Harris

Avery Jacqueline Harris

Avery Raquel Harris

You can't go wrong. These are all good names.

OoOo I love YOUR name! It's so original and unique.

I like the name Stella best from your list. No doubt there won't be many of those around her school! {not like with Hailey and Avery} Madeline is ok, not my favorite.

Good Luck!

I think with your last name either Avery or Madeline is the best choice. Stella is just okay with your last name. Hailey doesn't sound good with Harris.

Some middle name suggestions:

Madeline Claire

Madeline Grace

Madeline Ava

Madeline Emma

Madeline Kate

Madeline Paige

Madeline Olivia

Avery Catherine

Avery Madeline

Avery Caroline

Avery Danielle

Avery Nicole

Avery Charlotte

Avery Theresa

HTH!

I absolutely LOVE Madeline Rose... it's one of my top 5 names. Madeline is my grandmother's name so I wanted to name my daughter after her because she is such an awesome woman and role model for me.

Madeline Rose Harris sounds great!

I definitely vote for Madeline. It's so classic and pretty, and I love the nn Maddy. I like the previous suggestions of Madeline Claire and Madeline Rose. I also like Madeline Jane and Madeline Joy.

Avery would be my second choice, followed by Hailey (but I prefer Hayley).
