OH, you have too many nice ones for me to pick just one!! LOL....


I would omit Allison, b/c I never liked "-son" names, especially for girls...the only way I like that name is by getting a little cre8tiv w/it and spelling it Alisanne.


I'd also omit Katherine, unless you are honoring a relative, only b/c it has been used SO much, throughout so many generations. Granted, it's a lovely name, and given all the Gracyns, Camryns, and Ashleighs out there, I think Katherine would stick out nicely...but it's still not my absolute favorite.


I also would have omitted Jacqueline, only b/c it's got a similar feel to Katherine, at least to me, but I think it goes so well with your last name that I'd have to keep it in the running...


I love all the others, I really can't decide, lol.

I voted for Emma. I like a lot of the other names, but the nicknames you have for each name rhyme with your last name and I don't like the way that sounds. I think it makes the two names run together. JMHO

I voted for Lillian Hsi. Hsi sounds Asian to me (Chinese? Am I right?), and I can just picture a sweet, little, dark-haired, Asian girl named Lily!

My second choice would be Emma; my third choice would be Madeleine.

You have some great names! Good luck choosing!

Yep, Hsi is Chinese. My dh is Chinese-American. I'm Caucasian so our children will be a mix. We're still in the ttc phase but I love thinking about names and I am hoping that we'll have daughters. So, the names I listed are names that either I love or that my dh has suggested and I haven't vetoed.

I like most of the names but voted for Lillian. My adorable niece, Lucy, who was adopted from China was almost named Lily. Very cute name. Love it.

One note on Allison. Ally Hsi will sound like Ally Sheedy the actress. Not a big deal but thought I would mention it.

aaaahhhhh!!!! Melt down. Too many good names to chose from. LOL They are all lovely and sound nice with Hsi. I voted for Gabrielle because I don't hear that one as often as the others.

The only 2 I don't care for much are Jacqueline & Lillian (I do love Lily though).
