Help! We need a name for our 5th child which is a girl! Her siblings are
Alex James, Kaitlyn Samantha, Dylan Ryan, and Jacob Logan - all fairly popular so we don't want a very unique name for our last child.

The names we love are

Isabella
Sophia
Madeline
Caroline (dh not a big fan, but i love it)

WE would love all opinions of these names and any other suggestions as you can see, our list is very short (once we did a cross check ) we also like the name Lily but it doesn't go well with our last name so its out for a first name - but maybe for a middle name

Thanks!

With Alex James, Kaitlyn Samantha, Dylan Ryan, and Jacob Logan:

Isabella -- popularity aside, I prefer simply Isobel with the other kids' names
Sophia -- similarly, I think Sophie would be even better with your other four. Besides just liking it , it would also give you Alex, Kaitlyn, Dylan, Jacob and Sophie ... all two syllables. ;)
Madeline -- Madeline is lovely. You may also like Adeline or Delaney.
Caroline (dh not a big fan, but i love it) -- if dh doesn't like it, you may be out of luck. ;) Might have to settle for the similar Madeline if you both like that one.

Along the lines of Lily, you may also like Lillian, Lillias/Lileas, Lila(h), Leila/Layla, Aila/Ayla, Lucille, Laura, Lauren, Lorelei, Rose, Violet, Scarlett or Charlotte (some of those depending on exactly why Lily doesn't go with your ln, of course).

My favorite on your list is Sophia. Do any of your kids go by nicknames? All of these names seem to lend towards a nn and I am not sure that is your style.

Here are some no-nickname options:
Audrey
Brenna
Felicity
Fiona
Clara/Claire
Iris
Lucy
Phoebe

Good luck

Sophia would be my pick. It's a beautiful name and I think works well with your other kids names. Good luck!

I love all four of you choices. If i had it pick one I'd probably say Caroline.

all great names. I love Caroline but since dh isnt on board, I'd go for Madeline Sophia. I think it goes great with your other children's names.

Hello and congrats on the upcoming baby girl.

To go with the others-

I would eliminate Caroline- first because dh isn't in love with it, and mostly because Kaitlyn and Caroline are too similar for my taste. With FIVE kids, they each need very distinct and easily-separated names! LOL

I would also eliminate Madeline. It is the BEST fit, as a whole, for your family. However, when put with Kaitlyn, I don't like the similar endings.

Isabella seems a little bit frilly for your family. It would be a great mn, though, with Kaitlyn's Samantha. Sophia seems a little frilly for you, too. However, Sophie is perfect.

What about-

Sophia Caroline (maybe dh would warm up to it for a mn), called Sophie
Sophie Isabel

Others that came to mind-

Rachel Sophia
Rebecca Madeline
Bethany Caroline
Natalie Sophia
Leah Caroline
Zoe Isabella
Paige Madeline

Best wishes! Ginger
