I really want a different name, but I'm also leaning towards Names with an old feel to them. Every name I ask DH he says no! I ask which name he likes & he says he doesn't know. I'll just name her myself.

:-)

Nyasia
Angelique
Jocelyn
Amanda
Delilah
Jade
Janelle
Jasmine
Anaysia
Brianni
Gabrielle/Gabriella
Devanie

Well I have to vote for Devanie (and not just because it's my one-year-old's name lol). :) I just LOVE it (even after a year of daily use, so that's a good sign)! Good luck choosing!

Husbands can be like that, can't they?!?!

Nyasia--I am not sure how to pronounce this one correctly, so I can't really comment.
Angelique--I like this one. Very pretty
Jocelyn--Pretty, but not my favorite out of your list.
Amanda--Nice name, but if you want different, I am not sure if this is it.
Delilah--Makes me think of Samson and Delilah. I don't hate it, just not my style.
Jade--okay name, MNS
Janelle--This was on our list if this baby was a girl, so I LIKE this one.
Jasmine--Pretty
Anaysia--see name #1
Brianni--Do not like this one at all.
Gabrielle/Gabriella--Very pretty
Devanie--Like it.

My first choice would be Janelle, then Devanie, and Gabrielle, and Angelique.

Naming a child is tough, maybe Dh feels pressured. Plus you know men...they are much more relaxed about things than us women. Picking a name really should be a team effort. Here are my favs. :)

Jocelyn
Delilah
Jade
Janelle
Anaysia
Devanie

I think Anayasia is very pretty & has that different feel you were looking for...the same with Devanie. There is someone who posts here who has a DD with that name, I love it. I wonder how to pronounce it though. Is it Dev-an-ee or Dee-vane-ee? Either one is beautiful to my ears. Good luck!

That's me! LOL

Devanie is pronounced Dev-an-ee (like the name Devan with an ee sound at the end). We do get a lot of compliments on it. :)

Here are my takes on these:

Nyasia - I'm not sure about this one. It probably has a great meaning, but it looks like a minor disease to me.

Angelique - I think this is really pretty.

Jocelyn - I like Jocelyn and I think it grows up really well.

Amanda - I've always liked this name. It apparently was VERY popular about 20 years ago as we have 5 at work (out of 75 people) and all 5 are 20-25 years old!

Delilah - I like the name, but she was a bad girl in the Bible.

Jade - I've only known one and she's about 50. I always liked her name.

Janelle - Nice name - I've also known a Janella

Jasmine - This one's a little more exotic to me, but still nice

Anaysia - Not sure about this one

Brianni - I've not seen this one before, but it's OK. I think I like Brianne or Brianna better

Gabrielle/Gabriella - I think this is cute, but it's not one I would choose.

Devanie - I know this has been popular, but I'm not a big fan of it.

You've got some lovely choices going there.

Another one that I liked but can't use because my LN starts with a D is Dahlia. I don't know if that would be your style, but I think it's cute. But you have nice choices already!
