Okay, thank you all for your help in my polls. I think we've pretty much decided on Spencer nn Spence. We've liked it all along.
Im completely torn between Sadie and Sabrina. I love them both! and DH likes them both. Im pushing more for Sabrina and hes pushing a little more towards Sadie. My question is to those of you who chose Sabrina, why did you? and for those of you who chose Sadie, why did you? and for those of you who didnt pick either of those 2 names, which one would you pick now and why?
Thanks sooo much ladies.
I will be posting the final boy name and the final girl name with middle name options soon enough. But if you have any suggestions now, they are welcome!!

I like your choice of Spencer a lot.
I much prefer Sabrina to Sadie.
Sabrina is little-used, which is a good thing. Sadie I don't see as a formal name, it's just too nick-name sounding. It began in the old days as a nickname for Sarah, in fact I had two Aunt Sadie's (both long deceased) and both's formal name was Sarah. and, I almost even hate to tell you this, I know at least four dogs named Sadie. Most of them are Golden Labs or Retrievers It seems to be a popular name for Golden Labs/Retrievers for some reason.
other S names I like for girls: Sienna (partial here, have granddaughter), Sierra, Samara, Sonya, Sophia (although slightly classic for my tastes), Samantha (ditto on the classic note), Stacia (spiffier form of Stacy), Savannah (OK, but not great).
good luck.
Sabrina is so pretty. I, too, conjure up Audrey Hepburn and the movie Sabrina. It does have a slightly witchy connotation -- beyond "the teen witch," I think Sabrina was Samantha's cousin on "Bewitched"! (maybe it was Serena). But in any even, Sabrina is very feminine and matches up better with Samantha (it is more feminine and formal, whereas Sadie is very earthy). If you wan a nn for Sabrina -- something less formal -- you could always call her Bri (pr. Bree).
