This was one of the hardest choices ever - I love all of your names!

I voted for Caroline, which is also on our top four list. It seems less used than Julia or Katherine, yet equally classic and beautiful.

The only problem I have with Caroline is that I can't think of a nn I like, and we are major nn people. Julia (Jules) or Katherine (Kate) would be easier to nn. But I still love Caroline the best. Will you use a nn? If so, What did you have in mind for Caroline?

I love Charlotte, but for some reason, I like it best as a middle name.

Jean is my middle name (and was my grandmother's), so I'm partial to it. :)

You can't go wrong with any of your choices. Good luck!

Thanks so much for your input. We're not big nicknamers. Our other kids are Elizabeth and David, and they are called Elizabeth and David! So, we'd probably go with the full name versions for all of these names, too!

I am thinking of using Caroline, nn Carly. I love the name Caroline, it's very elegant. And Carly is a cute nickname, especially when she's young.

I love the name Julia best but I don't think it flows to well with Jean. Caroline Jean would be my second choice :)

I know...I don't think Julia goes that well with Jean either. But, for family reasons, we're stickign with that for our girl middle name. Thanks for you rinput!

IMO i dont like any of those. I take it the middle name is jean? Charlotte Jean will more then likely either turn into charlie or cj. I just dont like that name reminds me of charlottes web. I like caroline but wouldnt choose it because of a personal relationship in my life. Julia jean is too many j sounds. Katherine Jean is probably the best outta those i guess. I have no idea what name goes good with jean.... ill think about it and get back to u

Oooh I just love Caroline when it's pronounced Caro-lyne as opposed to Caro-lynn. I don't know why it makes such a big difference to me! :)

NNs I like are Caro, Carrie, and Carly

I just don't like Charlotte, and I like Katherine better spelled with a C (DH won't consider it, though!) I like Julia a lot but I like Julianne and Julianna/Juliana even better.

Good luck! :)
