Hi,I am new here and wanted to get opinions on our name list. We are ttc#1. I am obsessed with names, and think I am driving DH nuts:> My husband is Latino and I am Polish. Our last name is Contreras. DH’s name is Daniel (Dan) The middle names will either be Mae after my grandma or Marie after my mom.

Abigail - (we picked this in ‘97, and now having a hard time keeping it cuz it’s #6 in popularity:*(

Amelia

Anya – (I like this one because it has a little of my heritage in it)

Bianca

Natalia

Sophia

Viviana

Thanks for any and all your opinions

Hi!

You have some nice names on your list.

I like Bianca the best out of your choices. It is so pretty, and so rarely used. I also think it sounds terrific with your last name, and Bianca Mae or Bianca Marie would both work (I think I like Marie a tad more with Bianca).

My second choice would be Amelia. It also sounds nice with your last name. Amelia Mae is very pretty, and it has some cute nicknames (Amy, Mia, Lia, etc.). But if you are concerned about popularity (personally it doesn't bother me), I think Amelia is on the rise, esp. after "The Princess Diaries."

I also like Natalie a lot, but Natalia less so. But either would work really well with your last name and middle name choices.

Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck!

I have to say..............

Amelia Mae

or

Sophia Mae

"Mae" is going to be the middle name for me, too! (if it's a girl, of course)!!

Love, love, love Bianca and it sounds great with your last name - I prefer names that are in sync as far as heritage so I couldn't use it with our Irish LN - either Mae or Marie sounds great with Bianca!

Best wishes,

Julia
