37 weeks & NO NAME-HELP!

We've had plenty of names chosen, but just can't decide on one. Would appreciate any input. I'm beginning to stress out!

Addison-
Annison- we like this original variation of Addison, do you? right now it's #1 on hubby's list. should it be spelled annason? I'd like to call her annie.
Kenady,Kennedy- my long-time favorite. but just heard of another couple in our small town using this name. should that matter?
Page,Paige- Page is my maiden name. I'm beginning to like it more as a first name (instead of my hyphenated last name), but could I spell it without the I? I might save it for baby #2.
Jane- for middle name, after my late aunt.
Riley- family name on hubby's side. I like, but also like for boys first name.

Let me know what you think. Thanks so much!

My vote is for Kennedy- All time favorite just wished it sounded better with our last name.

Addison - okay. I like the nn Addie, but it's trendy and growing in popularity.

Annison - I don't like this. Annie would be cute as a stand-alone name. Annie Page or Annie Jane would be adorable.

Kennedy - Cute. I know an adorable 3 year old named Kennedy. Still, the name is trendy. Kennedy Jane or Kennedy Page would be nice combos.

Paige/Page - If you're using it as a middle name, I'd use Page. First name, not sure. Paige might be easier for the child.

Jane - love it as a middle name or first name. How about Jane Addison? Janie is a very cute nn.

Riley - Too popular. I know soooo many Rileys - both boy and girl under the age of 6. I would use it as a middle name to honor family. Paige Riley would be nice.

I adore Addison, too, for a few reasons. I've chosen that as the middle name both a boy and a girl - the girl will be a varied spelling. It's unique, striking and not that common.

It's a hard choice - good luck!

ahhhh, no sense saving aname for afuture baby b/c you dont know whatthe future holds! use Paige as avariation to honor your family tree. Page will be spelled wrong- constantly. I like the nn Annie but Addison and Annison are nmsaa. Riley and Kennedy are nmsaa either. sorry. I like Jane. So I like Annie, Paige and Jane, HTH!

How about Kendal or Kendall as an alternative to Kennedy? Or I would choose Paige from your list. Good luck!

I'm not sure about Annison. First off, it sounds too much like Aniston (as in Jennifer) and if you spell it Annason it would almost seem like a boy's name (Anna's son). I like Riley Jane. Nowadays, I have heard Riley addressed more often to a girl than a boy. Good luck deciding.

The only one I like is Paige (spelled this way to make it easier). I also like the suggestion of just using Anne/Annie instead of Annison.

hi there. well...my second daughters name is Riley only we spelled it VERY different. Rhylee, middle name Renee. It flows so good together. Our first daughter is Rebekah Lynn. For this girl, we wanted to name her Kennedy Nicole. Kenna for short. but ihave recently gotten a bug up my butt and Changed it to Laci Grace. Good luck!
