They are all lovely! I'm not a huge fan of Jenna (prefer it to Jennifer though) but otherwise all of your names are classic and timeless. I love some of the combos, Meredith Grace, Anna Elizabeth, Elizabeth Elise, etc, etc. I could go on and on.

Best of luck to you, it will be tough with all those great names.

Thanks for the response. . I'm trying to narrow down the list before I see what DH thinks. I just found out I'm pregnant earlier this week, so we have some time. Thanks!!

I voted for Leah, which I think is beautiful.

I voted for Leah, I think it is just a lovely name and not terribly over used (like I believe Emily, Elizabeth, Grace and Katherine to be). I could have just as easily voted for Elise, love that name too.

The one name on your list that I wanted to mention was Amelia. This was on my "take it to the hospital" list with both my babies, but I could never bring my self to use it because the quickest way to shorten it or have any kind of nn (and with your babies you make all kingds of goofy names from their name) was something along the lines of "Mealy" which is sooo unattractive. The only way I could personally avoid this would be to use the nn Mia, which I don't like as well as the full Amelia. I guess I am trying to say that I love Amelia, but don't love the "meal" sound in it. Not enough to make the plunge and use it with one of my kids.

Aidensmum - Regarding Amelia, I know someone when I was little whose name was Amelia, but she went by Amy. . .that works as well as Mia for a nn. Just a thought if you're still considering the name for a child. . . .

I voted for Sarah, because I thought it might work better with a longer last name (and I love the name, however popular it is). But my favorite name on your list is Meredith, and it is much less popular. If you don't think it's a mouthful with your last name, I'd go for Meredith!
