My husband and I are expecting our first born this April and have two great boys names selected but the two names I thought we likes for girls are all of a sudden not his favorites. I need suggestions. Below are the two I thought were going to work, maybe there is a way to still incorporate part of them to make a new name

Greta Louise
Louisa Lee

Other names I like are:
Helena
Jenna
Helene

but can't think of any others. Help!

Emilee is a great option I hadn't thought of. Thanks! I also like Faith, but don't know if the man will go for it. Will discuss it tonight. Thanks again.

I like Helena Grace. It sounds very regal. Other names to consider:

Corinne, Elizabeth, Paige, Eleanor, Rosa, Brianna

And you could probably use some of these with the names you liked. Good luck!

Margaret (nn Greta) is one of my 2 "take to the hospital" names for a girl. The other is Eleanor (nn Nora). I love Louise as a mn and Louisa as a fn as well. I like Helena if it is pronounced Hel-LEEN-ah, not Helen-uh. Jenna doesn't seem to fit with your others, a bit too trendy for my tastes.

Some others you might like:
Lila
Liesel
Delia
Charlotte
Tessa
Bridget
Amelia
Stella

Thanks for all of your suggestions. Some great ones I hadn't thought of. I will find something. Leaning toward Liesel, Amelia, and maybe Camille - Camille maybe as a middle name.

Boy names we have decided on are

Brett Matthew and Fredrick Robert

Can't wait for this babe!

only one of the lot that I like is Jenna - others are too old-fashioned

good luck
