Need help with picking a name for my unborn child. Have a definite boy's name picked (going the family route). But, we're kind of stumped on a girl name. I'm divided between Alexis (with a nickname Lexi) and Margaret (with a nickname Maggie). But, then have no idea of a middle name for either.

We have an Italian last name, ending in "o". So, I want something that flows.

Any suggestions?

With Alexis I like trendier names:

Alexis Brooke

Alexis Skye

Alexis Renee

Alexis Kate

Alexis Paige

Alexis Jordan

Alexis Faith

Alexis Michelle

Alexis Noelle

Alexis Riley

Alexis Danielle

With Margaret:

Margaret Elise

Margaret Jane

Margaret Kathleen

Margaret Eden

Margaret Faith

Margaret Blaire

Margaret Jolene

Margaret Hannah

Margaret Leigh

Margaret Olivia

I like both names - Alexis and Margaret -- I probably like Margaret (nn Maggie or Meg) a bit more. If it were Alexandra, I would definitely pick Alexandra over Margaret. But I think it depends on your style... if you like trendier/more modern-sounding names vs. more classic or even old-fashioned names. Also, it matters to some people to have their children's name styles "match." So if you care about that, that could help you choose. I mean, if you had 2 more daughters that you would name Brianna and Makenna, then I probably wouldn't choose Margaret. But if you would name your next two Beatrice and Eleanor, then Margaret may be a better fit.

As for middle names:

Alexis Brooke

Alexis Christine

Alexis Corinne

Alexis Courtney

Alexis Gisele

Alexis Jane

Alexis Joy

Alexis Lauren

Alexis Marie

Alexis Michelle

Alexis Nicole

Alexis Rachel

Alexis Taryn

Margaret Anne

Margaret Audrey

Margaret Beth

Margaret Caroline

Margaret Daphne

Margaret Emily

Margaret Gillian

Margaret Grace

Margaret Kate

Margaret Lauren

Margaret Lynne

Margaret Mae (Maggie Mae)

Margaret Phoebe

Margaret Rebecca

Margaret Rose

Margaret Sarah

Margaret Victoria
