You are on the cutting edge of classic yet snappy names. He's stuck somewhere in the early '90s! ;-) Tell him that Kaitlyn and Ashley have been beaten to a pulp. No more, please! Ashlyn is too much like Ahsley. Kirsten is OK, but I wonder how many pronounciation problems she'll have. A Kristen/Kirsten could probably tell you. I'd stay away from Gwyneth because of the actress. Isabel is pretty, but wildly popular and there are tons of Olivias out there. (I'm in Boston.) Valerie and Natalie are nice. Claire is beautiful.

I really like a lot of your names, but am not so fond of your DH's. Katelyn (that spelling) would be my favorite off his list, but I prefer every name on your list to any of his.

I almost voted for Natalie, then changed my mind to Olivia, then to Claire, and I finally settled on Valerie. Gwyneth is my least favorite on your list b/c it doesn't have the spark of some of the other names, and I like Isabelle a lot, but only that spelling.

Valerie is sweet and beautiful, and it's a well-known name that's not too common. It's perfect! I knew a baby Valerie about 15 years ago (guess that makes her not such a baby anymore-LOL!), but it suited her perfectly, and she was adorable.

Good luck finding some common ground with your DH and making a decision!

I voted Gwyneth. How about Gwyneth Claire? That's very pretty! I'm sorry, but I don't really like your husband's picks because they are so common. As someone with a common name myself, I steer far away from common names for my own kids.
