Hello ladies,
I posted the same on BN: Beyond the Trend Board and thought I'd post here as well.
I'm already 5.5 month pg with our first baby (baby girl). It seems all the names I used to like are now

My fav name of yours is Anastacia. It's so pretty-girlish, very feminine. I also love the nn Stacia, so maybe that tends to sway me. I do also like Isadora and don't (personally) find it too strong. The others just aren't as girly as I personally like.
HTH and hope you find the perfect name for your little girl!!!
Leah
Off your list, I adore Ortensia & sort of like Hortense. I also love Anastasia, Tatienne, Isadora & Evangeline, but all seem rather long with your surname. Of course, that's all to taste (my own daughter has a three syllable first name and a three syllable surname, so it's nothing to me!).
I think Anastasia, Isadora and Evangeline are three that'll fit in just about anywhere in the works.. they're middling popular in many countries right now. Hortense (or Ortensia) won't quite fit in in the States, but will quite well anywhere in Western Europe)
I keep wanting to pair them all with French names (no clue why, it just seems to fit, to me)
I'd pair them like this:
Anastasia Bertille
Isadora Manon
Tatienne Anouk
Ortensia Alienor
Hortense Anissa
Evangeline Maelle
Here's a link to the top 50 girls names in France as of 2003 (just in case you agree with me): http://www.prenoms.com/v2/services-prenom/prenoms-top-sondages.asp?classement=moyenne_intelligent&sexe=F
The page is in French but easy enough to navigate even if you don't speak French. (I don't speak it very well, but am familiar enough with it to figure it out)
Hope that helps some! Good Luck and Congratulations!
Edited to add that Nicolette just isn't my style. It reminds me too much of Nicorette, the quit smoking gum.

Tatienne
Evangeline
Nicolette
Hi, and congrats!!
Hortense (French, pronounced: Ortance)--I dont like the way this one looks or sounds.
Ortensia (Latin version from Hortense)--Like it much better than Hortense
Anastasia--BEAUTIFUL!!!! TOP PICK FOR ME! I also like that it has the "ann" in it from your name.
Nicolette (not my favorite though)--Although this one is pretty, it doesnt stand out compared to Anastasia.
Tatienne--not sure if I am pronouncing this one right.
Arwen--Could be a nice MN. But too plain compared to your other names.
Isidora (I find it a bit too strong)--Sounds like a tall Russian woman.
Evangeline--Very pretty!
Suggestions:
Adara (greek meaning beauty)
Aspasia (greek meaning welcomed)
Carreen
Ayliana
Carrigan
Erianthe (meaning sweet as many flowers)
Idylla
Marilee
Lydia
Aveline
Colette
I still think that Anastasia is the best choice. Anastasia Colette? Anastasia Juliet? Anastasia Marilee?
GOOD LUCK!!
