Hi!!!


We are expecting a baby girl in March, and I'd love some opinions on names!!


Dd #1 is Caroline Grace


So far we like:


-Abigail Elizabeth ---dh loves Abigail, I don't like it that much but I love the name Abby. We'd name her Abigail and call her Abby (so she could use Abigail when she got older if she wanted) but would it be silly for one dd to use a nn and not other dd? ie- Caroline and Abby


-Amelia Kathryn-- my fave


-Megan Elizabeth-- does Megan "go with" Caroline?


-Elizabeth -- can't think of a middle name - ideas?

Looks like we have similar naming tastes (love your daughter's name, by the way!). :) Abigail - nn. Abbie - and Amelia are also on our girls list this time (and Abigail was last time as well, but we chose Devanie Rose instead because it's definitely not as popular lol). Therefore, either one gets my vote. :)

I don't think Megan goes quite as well as the other names, and although I like Elizabeth as a mn, I don't really like it as much for the first name.

Incidentally, another name we have thrown around is Ava Claire (first and middle). I know you mentioned your husband doesn't really like Claire (maybe he could be persuaded to use it for a mn though?), but Caroline and Ava sound adorable together, IMO.

Hope it helps, and good luck! :)

I really like Amelia Kathryn - that's great and goes well withyour DD. I like Elizabeth as a first name - maybe
Elizabeth Rose
Elizabeth Sarah
Elizabeth Jane

I don't think Megan goes too well. I have no problem with Caroline and Abby, though.

Hy!

I'm new here and first I must apologise if I'll make some mistakes by writting, but it is a long time since I last used english language. I hope I'll inprove.

Well about the names. I must say that Amelia Kathryn seems very nice name for a girl, cause it reminds me on some beautifull baby girl in some movie (I don't remember which one).

Anyway, I like girls name, such as:

Elisabeth Sarah
Ana Marie
Anna Elizabeth
Alexandra Kathryn
Megan Elizabeth
Elizabeth Marie
Elizabeh Cate

First, I love Caroline Grace!

I like all of your options for baby #2. Here are my specific thoughts...

-Abigail Elizabeth -- I love Abigail and have for years. It's one of my all-time favorite names. I think Abby is a great nn and I don't think there is any problem having one DD who uses her full name and one who usually uses a nn.

-Amelia Kathryn-- I like this one a lot too, especially Amelia. I prefer the spelling Catherine or even Katherine over Kathryn, but it's not a bad spelling, just my preference.

-Megan Elizabeth-- I like Megan, but I don't think it goes with Caroline quite as well with Abigail or Amelia. Have you considered Margaret with the nn Meg? That's another of my favorites and Caroline and Margaret/Meg is a great combination.

-Elizabeth -- I like Elizabeth, but not as much as I like your other choices. I'd stick with it as a middle name for one of the others.

You've got a great batch of names to choose from, I'm sure you'll wind up with a great name! Good luck!

Wow, I love all these names! Caroline Grace is beautiful. We share the same taste in names. (Other ones I like that aren't on your list are Catherine nn Cate, Nora, Elena, Audrey, and Julia). I feel the same way as you on Abigail. I love Abby as a nn, but Abigail isn't my favourite. Its nice though, but not the best of your choices. I don't think it would be weird at all for one girl to go by a nn and the other not. I, too, think Amelia Kathryn is the nicest. Its beautiful! Its such a pretty name and it sounds so nice with Caroline. No, I don't think Megan really goes with Caroline. You could use Margaret nn Maggie though. Thats cute. For Elizabeth (which I absolutely love)I like the mn Elizabeth Nicole and Elizabeth Ann. I think Amelia is the nicest, with Elizabeth in second.
