Our baby girl is due in a week! I love both these names, perhaps with the middle name Elizabeth. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
Claire Elizabeth
Simone Alexandra
also considering....
Gretchen Simone
Hollis Grace

All four of the names you have there are lovely (but especially the first two!)- and all four have a different "feel." At this point, I'd say take that list to the hospital, and when you meet her...pick what feels right. Trust me, one will. My DH and I were absolutely stuck on either Isla or Jane for our DD, and about forty minutes after she was born we looked at each other and said "Isla," and an Isla she very much is at 2.5- Jane wouldn't have done at all :)
Best of luck with the birth (and the whole parenting bit after, lol). Do post what you end up naming her!

I think I like Simone Alexandra best!! I know 2 Claire Elizabeth's. It's very pretty, but I would probably pick Simone Alexandra as my 1st choice. Hope this helps !!

I like all 4, my least favorite is Hollis, my favorite is Simone or Gretchen. I don't think you can lose which ever way you go. I do agree with a previous post that you should take the list with you and see what she looks like to you.
DH and I had 2 names picked for our 2nd son, but once born he didn't look like either, so we ened up changing our mind totally! So sometimes its nice to bring your list along just in case!
Good luck!

Claire is a beautiful name. Simone is not quite as pretty to my ears. Personally, I would only use Hollis if it were a family name because it seems very last namey/preppy to me, so there would need to be a story behind it or it would just seem like I were following the last-name-as-first-name trend.
I have to be honest that my ears really hurt when I hear the name Gretchen. Might be the combination of the strong sound of "Gr" with the sound of "wretch". Sorry!
