My husband and I are struggling with a little girl name. We are no where close to deciding, which I'm trying not to worry about because we don't even know the sex of our baby yet. :) We seem to be leaning toward shorter names...and perhaps ones that are less feminine. Some that I've suggested that my husband has actually liked are:

Sydney
Regan
Aidan (I know, it's a boy name, but...)

Of course, I don't like these anymore. :) I really like the name Lila , but my husband shot it down immediately.

My husband really likes the name Hope, which I like. But, our last name is Spring...and I don't like the feeling of Hope Spring (does anyone see that?? my husband thinks I'm crazy).

Knowing some of the names we've thought about, do any suggestions come to mind?

I give a bug thumbs down to Hope Spring, there is a movie called Hope Springs so no for me. WDYT of Shelby Spring? Df and I both like "not so girly girl names" and we are using that for DD #1. I also love Avery....um WDYT of Presley?

i so agree with the hope spring thing, you wouldn't want your child to feel obligated to be the most bubbly person in the room everywhere they go. Anyways don't get into to many disagreements until you atleast find out if its a boy or girls,and then both of you have to remember what marriage is all about, compromise. you may have to MEET IN THE MIDDLE. you'll know when you come up with the perfect name.
