Just Abigail and honestly, it is one of the least favorite on my list. I didn't even bother to post a list of my boy names because it's almost the same as dh's boy's list with an additional two names in place of two from his list.

I know we're both going to be eliminating some names from each other's girl lists. I figure we'll start by eliminating each list down to five so we have a total of nine or ten (depending on whether or not Abigail stays or goes). Right now I was just trying to get a feel for everyone else's opinion on the names we like.

I think our biggest problem (or at least mine) is that some of our very favorites are so popular that they are sounding tired. But I can't find names I like as much as my top three favorites. As a matter of fact, when I compiled my list I refused to put some names I like on there simply because there are too many of them where we live. Other names on my list are names I like but have yet to absolutely fall in love with, but because they are not as popular they are sounding fresher to me. Not sure if that makes sense. I figure until the name is on the birth certificate I have the right to change my mind as many times as I want. LOL

We have almost exactly the same taste in names! My older DD is Megan, but we were very close to going with Madeline or Carolyn/Caroline for her. My younger DD is Julianna (nn Annie), but I really wanted Amelia or Ava for her (and DH hated them).

I like Abigail well enough although it's probably my least favorite on your list, and we have two little Abbys in our small circle of friends. I've really started to like Carina/Karina a lot lately, too, and I'd love to use it if we ever have another girl. Charlotte is so sweet, but was out for us b/c of a family member with that name. I loved Gabrielle, too, but DH didn't like the nn Gabby. Oh, and Hannah just doesn't go with our ln, but I would have considered it otherwise. The only one on your list that I never considered was Lila, but I think that's beautiful, too.

Anyway, I voted for Amelia b/c I loved it so much for DD#2, and I like the nn options of Mia, Lia, and Amy.

Good luck making a decision!

I think Carina is beautiful (could also be spelt Corinna or Karina). It is the most unique and less common of the list, which I like. Hannah, Abigail, and Madeleine are so overused. Lila is pretty, but Lily is so common and it is extremely similar. Carina and Amelia are definetly my favourites.
