Hi everyone. I need an opinion on the names I have narrowed down to for the baby girl I will be having in 6 weeks. Please be honest and thank you !

Rosalyn, Roselyn or Roslyn (I'm not sure how to spell this)
Greta
Claudia
Eileen
Elise
Parker (my son's choice)

P.S. My other two children are Luke(3) and Regina(1). The last name is Gergely (gerg-lee)

I like your other children's name. Here's my opinions on the possibilities for the next one:

Greta - I like it OK, but it's not one of my favorites.
Claudia - I like this one and it seems to have the same flair as Regina to me.
Eileen - I really like this one - it's very lyrical sounding to me and it's easy to see on both a child and a grown up.
Elise - I like Elise, but it's used a lot and an Elise I know is giving me fits at the moment!
Parker (my son's choice) - I think this is great for a boy, but I don't care for on a girl. Also it doesn't really go with your other daughter's name very well. Regina is elegant and feminine and this is too masculine to fit.

Good luck with your third!

Rosalyn, Roselyn or Roslyn (I'm not sure how to spell this)- I don't care for any of these. Maybe as a middle name.
Greta - This is different and I think I like it. It's always nice to have something a bit different.
Claudia - I don't care for this at all.
Eileen - Nice Name.
Elise - Pretty
Parker (my son's choice)- Luke should save this name for a little brother. :)

Yep, I think Greta is cute. How about Greta Elise or Greta Eileen?

I like Elise best, but I would spell it Elyse. :)

I agree! we have an Elyse, and get compliments on it all the time. I prefer Elyse to Elise - Elise is always confused with Elsie.

Thank you guys. It helps to have your opinions because friends and family cannot really be honest without feeling rude. By the way, Parker was never really a consideration. I don't know why I put that one on the list -my son has been calling this baby that name nonstop for months without any encouragementfrom me. He got it from Spiderman. A few people I know acually said they liked it for a girl but I prefer more classic sounding female names. Thanks again. Does anyone have any other ideas that would match her older sister's name. This baby and Regina will be only 15 months apart.

My fav from your list is Elise by far. Second would be Claudia or Eileen (tied) but they're far from my 1st choice. I'm not a fan of masculine names on girls so I wouldn't ever vote for Parker. I'm just not too crazy about the other names.

I think all of your choices (except for Parker) match well with your kids names. Elise is far and away my favorite; I'm not a huge fan of Rosalyn (any spelling). I prefer Gretchen to Greta, but like both.

Good luck!

Luke, Regina, and ....


Rosalyn ~ Rosalind is my favorite spelling! :) Matches okay w/ the others but it's not my favorite.
Greta ~ oy. no, I don't like it w/ the other kids' names.
Claudia ~ seems to match well but I just don't like the sound of the three names together.
Eileen ~ matches nicely w/ Regina, not so sure about Luke.
Elise ~ is a good match for the others!
Parker ~ hm, lol. kudos to Luke for trying to help out, but I don't really think this name (for a girl anyway) goes well with her siblings' names :)


My favorite is ELISE! I think it's the perfect name from your list. My 2nd choice would be Eileen.


Good luck and congratulations!!

I think "Rosealee Gergely" sounds nice vs Roselyn... Or Elsie Gergely vs Elise
