Girl Names - need some advice
6

So, I need some opinions! My daughter is Natalie Lynn - and we have a couple girl names picked out if our next is another DD...

1) Emily Faith
2) Ashlynn Faith
3) Ashlynn Grace

I know Emily is popular right now, but that doesn't bother me one bit. When I was younger Jennifer was popular, now I don't know any - so it evens out... As for Ashlynn, we liked it a lot, and figured we could always nn her Ashley if we ever wanted to.

Thanks so much for you feedback and thoughts! And if you have any beautiful suggestions I'd love to hear them!

I know you don't mind if they are popular, but your daughter might feel otherwise if she is one of 3 or 4 Emily's or Ashley's in her classes at school. I like the name Grace as a middle name though.

Perhaps something classical, yet still somewhat trendy (like Natalie's name), that has a similar sound to Emily and Ashley?

Melissa Grace or Melissa Faith
Linnea Grace or Linnea Faith
Elysia Grace or Elysia Faith
Alyssa Grace or Alyssa Faith
Alanna Grace or Alanna Faith
Alicia Grace or Alicia Faith
Brianna Grace or Brianna Faith
Elena Grace or Elena Faith
Audrey Grace or Audrey Faith
Ellery Grace or Ellery Faith
Hillary Grace or Hillary Faith
Erika Grace or Erika Faith
Evelyn Grace or Evelyn Faith

Hope this helps!

I like both names. But I would probably choose Emily. Natalie Lynn and Ashlynn is a little to much 'lynn' sound for my taste.

Emily matches in style with Natalie, too. Contemporary but classic.

Good luck with your decision.

I like Emily Faith, and I think it goes very well with Natalie.

I like Emily Faith, but I like Emily Grace even better. Quite honestly, I think it's a bit silly to name a daughter Ashlynn if her sister's name is Natalie Lynn, and I think it's even sillier to call her Ashley if her name is Ashlynn. Ashley Faith and Ashley Grace are both very pretty...much prettier than the made-up Ashlynn...and she won't have to explain her name constantly. I like Ashleigh Faith and Ashleigh Grace even better.
