I could really use some opinions...we're just having a hard time making a decision. Our son is Jack Christopher.

We thought we liked Lucy, but we're just not sure. I really want something that is fresh, not too overused. I have only seen 3 Jack's in the birth announcements in our area in the last 2 years....so I'm not sure the popular names are that popular here. With that said....

We both like Ava, Lily, Mia, Ella, Violet....but we don't love any of them.

I really love the name Chandler Paige...what do you think of Jack & Chandler?

Could you give me some fresh ideas. I do like the old names....I just can't think anymore!

Thanks.

Ah...I just love Jack! I think Chandler is OK for a girl, but I don't really like it with Jack. I agree with pp that it sounds like two boys.

I think Lucy and Lily are precious.

Other suggestions...
Ellie
Sadie
Anabel
Eliza
Mary Paige (using both)
Carly
Stella
Elsa
Claire
Josie

Good luck!

I agree about Chandler sounding masculine. I have a friend with a dd named Channing, which is similar but less masculine sounding, IMO.

As the mom to a 10 year old Ella(Eleanor) & 2 year old Lucy, I'd say go with Lucy over Ella. Ella is waaaay to popular for me now- it was actually less popular back in 97 than Eleanor! I wish we would have gone with Nora as her nn. I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from both their names. I think Jack & Lucy are darling together.
Some people mentioned Ruby, which I love too & have short listed for baby #5- one thing you should know FWIW, is that Jack Ruby was the mobster that shot Lee Harvey Oswald who shot JKF. Other names I like with Jack:
Nora
Millie
Ruth
Alice
Anne/Annie
Evelyn
Lilly
Virginia
Mae
Maeve
Molly
Sally
Daisy- really love this one!!!

Ella is number 22 for 2005 on the social security list (high enough to make me drop it--but my LN is Anderson, so I am trying to avoid top 100).

Jack is such a masculine name, and I definitely would think 'brothers' if I saw "Jack & Chandler".

Thoughts for you...

Sorry. :( Jack and Chandler are two brothers in my mind.

As an alternative to Lucy, however, you may like Ruby or Pearl. ;)
