I am expecting #4 in a few weeks and we can not come up with a name for her. Why is it so hard to find a cute girl name that is ONLY a girl name, not TOO old-fashioned,not REALLY popular, and not WAY out there? I have went through website after website...book after book of baby names & NOTHING appeals to me. People tell me to make a list then after she's born pick one.....Good plan but there's NO way I can make a list if I can't even come up with 1 I Love.

Thanks for Any Help!

It sounds like you could go with a good classic name with some nickname possibilities.

Elizabeth (Eliza, Beth, Lizzie, Libby, Bess, Betsy, Liz, Liza, Ellie, Ella)
Margaret (Maggie, Greta, Meg)
Katherine (Kat, Kate, Katie, Kathy, Kitty)
Eleanor (Ellie, Nora, Ella, Nell, Nellie)

Or how about:

How about Nina? That is my DD nickname and means little girl in spanish. It's not a popular name or an unusual name, it's simple and short. My DD full name is Janina Isabella. I have only met one other girl name Nina in person and that was on a military shuttle bus in Seoul Korea. This lady was on the bus with her 3 sons and only DD (who was also the youngest child about 4 years old) and I heard the brother's call her Nina. Which I thought was so cute, and this was after I named my DD who has 3 older brothers.
