my vote was for Elenore (prefer the spelling Eleanor) but it would have been for Louisa is that has been an option. Louisa is so much more lovely than Louise. Others I like are Jane, Hazel, Violet and Clementine.

I voted for Clementine as it's one of my two very favorite girls names in the world and I used my #! favorite so can't use Clementine, they rhyme! :(

If Clementine hadn't been my runaway favorite, I would've had a very hard time deciding, indeed. Pearl, Violet, Louise, Eleanor, Lenora & Jane are all long time favorites of mine, but Clementine's got my love!

PLEASE don't name your poor kid Clementine. That name is so disgusting.

I'll let you guys in on a little secret...I already have an Emmet, Gus and Abe. LOL! I threw those in there, wondering what people thought of 'em. I also have an Addie Mae, too. We love names that sound like old farmers. That's our criteria. We have to picture them sittin' around in old John Deere caps, suspenders, and a hound dog at their feet. Whittlin' and stringin' a banjo. We picture them saying things like "Yup, Emmet. They say it's gonna be a big year fer corn agin." and then another says "Yep, Sure is. Say, Abe-did ya git that ol' tractor of yours runnin' yet?" LOLOLOLOL! That's our criteria! BWAHAHAAHAHAHAA! (ps-not sure if I'm pg yet-just testing out some good ones-just in case!)

LOV LOVE Eleanor (spelled this way...since it is my daughter's middle name/was my grandma's name). Pearl, Jane and Mavis are great names too!!! Gotta say I love your kids names and Addie is one of my favorites! (I have a cousin Addie and I have always thought that was so great!!)
