Possible short list of baby girl names

Opinions, please! DH will not discuss names with me for another few weeks so I need some good FN. MN combos to present to him to narrow things down. He does not make decisions well, and narrowing things down tends to help him a lot.

I have put stars next to the names which are family names. They are all from DH's family since my DD, Claire Elise's MN is somewhat after my Grandma Elisabeth.

Audrey Charlotte*
Audrey Hélène*
Audrey Madeleine*
Audrey Maura*
Audrey Susana*
Maura* Hélène*
Maura* Geneviève
Maura* Sophie
Maura* Phoebe*

In case you're interested in the namesakes, Charlotte is after my FIL Charles, Hélène is after DH's maternal grandma Helen (I have also considered Elinor/Eleanor or Ellen after her), Madeleine is a great-aunt on DH's dad's side, Maura is DH's great-aunt on his mom's side (Helen's sister), Phoebe is also a great-aunt on DH's mom's side (Helen's other sister). Since Helen, Maura and Phoebe were sisters, I find it a bit wierd to have both names after them, as in Maura Hélène or Maura Phoebe. Helen's MN was Margaret which I'm not crazy about but which might work with Audrey.

At this point before discussing with DH (He won't discuss it with me until after my U/S June 10th when we will not even be finding out the sex!) my personal favourite is Audrey Hélène. I also like Audrey Maura but I'm worried it's too repetitive-sounding.

I wish Maura Amélie worked but it's hard with the repeating A!

Even if you just picked one MN for each name that would help because then I can say to him: "Which do you like better Audrey _ or Maura _."

TIA!

I love the name Audrey! :o)


I wish Audrey Celeste was on your list...I don't know why but that name combination just popped into my head!


I like Audrey Susana best from your list, though.


P.S. Maura is NMS but I also like Maura Celeste! LOL


Good luck!
