FEEDBACK!!! TIA!!!
Ok...poss. brother would be William (Will) Hardy Watson Please be honest, and suggest poss. combos. Meanings are very important to DH.
Grace (Gracie) still #1choice for DH
Olivia (Livi)
Charlize (after DH grandfather Charles)
Emma
Vivian (Vivi)
Miranda - closest I could find to DH name's meaning beloved
Victoria (Tori)
Kate
Gemma (MY fav. at the moment)Thought this was compromise w/ Emma being so popular but DH doesn't like "out there names" WDYT?
Adora (Addie/Dori)(new one?)
Esme (Also, my choice)
Sarah/Sally
nn in () are just options not guarantees! I like names until our last name is put w/ it. Any more names that would fit? I think my fav. combos at the moment are Olivia Charlize and Grace Vivian and Gemma Grace.
Thanks!!!

Vivian Grace is my suggestion, I love Vivian nn Vivi, and then DH gets his fav. Grace in there. Good luck deciding.
Michelle
#2 EDD: June 5th
Grace (Gracie) - you know my thoughts :) I think this should be the mn and your dh calls your daughter this as his pet name
Olivia (Livi) - verry sweet, I love the combo of Olivia Charlize
Charlize (after DH grandfather Charles) - cute, but not my fav
Emma - way too popular
Vivian (Vivi) - this just sounds so mature - I can't picture this on a child or a 20 year-old
Miranda - a little dated
Victoria (Tori) - I love this! Victoria Grace is a wonderful name!!!! I think that this is my fav on your list
Kate - too short for me
Gemma - I think that for those who spend time on name boards, etc Gemma doesn't sound that far out there or strange. However, when I run this name by people who are mainstream in their naming style (Sarah, Emily, Katherine, etc) they have a negative reaction to the name. I like it, but many find it too weird. I that Gemma Grace is great name that fits both a child and an adult. The nicknames could be either Gem or Gigi (from the double G's). I would continue advocating for this name since you seem to like it so much.
Adora (Addie/Dori)(new one?) - I don't care for this name. I do like Audra, nn Addie
Esme (Also, my choice) - nms
Sarah/Sally - this is solid option.. Sarah Grace is a classic name and you can never go wrong with a classic. I also like Sarah, nn Sadie - Sadie Grace is a cute double name.
Good luck!
Brooke
"Amy" - means beloved
TRUDY???
I haven't run it by DH yet, but I just came across it. He really loves his name/David and loves the meaning Beloved. Trudy means beloved in some sources.
WDYT???
Thanks.
Okay! Here are my thoughts:
Grace (Gracie) still #1choice for DH-It just doesn't do it for me. Gracie is perfectly cute, but Grace seems stail these days.
Olivia (Livi)-This is also way over done, but I still love it.
Charlize (after DH grandfather Charles)-I don't care for this one. Charlotte, although also over done, is much sweeter imo.
Emma-Super popular, but a nice name.
Vivian (Vivi)-I can't get into Vivian, but it's perfectly fine. Vivi is adorable.
Miranda - closest I could find to DH name's meaning beloved-That's nms for some reason.
Victoria (Tori)-I like Vicotoria, but not Tori so much. What about Victoria nn Vivi!?
Kate -That's a nice classic, but super popular. I also prefer this as a nn for Katherine.
Gemma (MY fav. at the moment)Thought this was compromise w/ Emma being so popular but DH doesn't like "out there names" WDYT?-But it's so pretty!
Adora (Addie/Dori)(new one?)-I like Adora. Dori is nms, although Addie is cute. Unfortunatly, I think that Addie is becoming very popular. Just call her Adora. It's really nice.
Esme (Also, my choice)-That's pretty.
Sarah/Sally -Aw, Sally is fun.
Hope this helps!
Grace (Gracie) still #1choice for DH -- virtue names are not generally my style to begin with, but this one is very overdone. The more I see it, the more I dislike it, to be honest.
Olivia (Livi) -- very popular in my area, but fine otherwise. It's never been a favorite, although I do love Oliver for a boy.
Charlize (after DH grandfather Charles) -- like Charlize, especially for your dh's grandfather, but I prefer Charlotte (which has a more classic feel to me)
Emma -- like Olivia, popular, but still nice. I prefer Emeline/Emmeline or Amelia/Emilia.
Vivian (Vivi) -- love it. I also like Vivienne.
Miranda - closest I could find to DH name's meaning beloved -- not my favorite (see my reply to you Trudy thread )
Victoria (Tori) -- fine, but I prefer the above-mentioned Vivian. You may also like Violet.
Kate -- short and sweet. I prefer a more formal option, just to give her some the choice, but this is ok too.
Gemma (MY fav. at the moment)Thought this was compromise w/ Emma being so popular but DH doesn't like "out there names" WDYT? -- love this as a compromise between Grace and Emma! Love it. I know it's not overly-popular or anything, but I wouldn't call it "out-there," KWIM? It's familiar and simple ... definitely not a hard name to pronounce or remember, not overly-frilly or elaborate, not out-there at all. ;) Just point out those things, as well as how similar it is to names he wouldn't consider too out-there ... Emma, Jenna, etc. Maybe he can still be convinced.
Adora (Addie/Dori)(new one?) -- seems a bit too forced. I do like Darla, Dara, Adair, Dorothy, Isidora, etc., however.
Esme (Also, my choice) -- I like Esme, but if dh thinks Gemma is too much, I can't see him agreeing to this one
Sarah/Sally -- Sarah is always nice, but I prefer the nn Sadie. You may also like Serafina, nn Sera or Seri

Thanks for all your input! Unfortunately, we still do not have a decision. The problem is we "like" all of these names but we are just not in LOVE w/ one. KWIM? I can say that I LOVE William Hardy and Will and it just works. DH IS in love w/ one! LOL! (Grace) We are really warming up to Gemma but I am afraid she would always have to spell it/correct it for people b/c they might think Jenna/Emma?!?!? WDYT? I have an uncle Jim and I do NOT want people to think this was after him either.
Anyway, DH came up w/ GRACIE DAY last night...this is very cute but I would want a formal name Grace Da....
Any IDeas? Thanks so much!!!
grace olivia. that way you could use grace-which ive noticed IS popular for middle names but not so much for first names-and olivia. you could call her liv, livi, gracie, or whatever you choose...i think grace is a very feminine, classic, beautiful name...jmo. good luck!!
