Emma Maxine, Olivia Maxine, Emma Charlize, Olivia Charlize or make your own suggestion.

Other names we have on our final list:
Miranda, Vivien, Kate, Claire,Willa, Grace, Victoria, Hope, Faith & Fallon

I have almost talked DH out of Grace. I would still consider Grace if we could find the right middle name. I would love a double name beginning w/ Grace but can't find IT.

Now, DH fav. is Emma...however, there is an actress w/ our ln (Harry Potter movies) named Emma. There is also an actress named Emily W....n. Would that matter to you? I think our ln is what is making this so difficult. I like names or name combos until I throw our ln on to it. I am still a bit concerned about the popularity of both Emma & Olivia. My husband has a very common name (David) so this does not bother him, his main concern is the meaning. I dislike my name, it is a unisex name and says 70's all day so I would like a timeless/fem. combination.

Thanks for all of your help!!!

Is Sally a classic name like Sophie? Is it dated or is it one of the comeback names?

Thanks!!!

Of your top list I like Emma Charlize best. Of the names on your "other" list I really like Willa & Claire.

Have you also thought of Rebecca, Nora, Cora or Marissa?

I like Emma Charlize the best.

Sally - I think this is nickname for Sarah. Personally, I like Sarah, nn Sadie or just Sadie. Sadie Grace does sound nice :) I know one person named Sally age 28 - she is fun and spunky.

double names:
Gracie Laine
Gracie Rose

I love the name Olivia Grace. Maybe keeping the name Grace as a middle name will satisfy both of you. There are also variations on that name that you might like a litle better. For example, my little cousin was just named Gracen, which I think is just lovely.

I prefer Emma over Olivia, but both are nice. The mn's are both gorgeous, it is so hard to choose! (I'm not much help here, am I?) I wouldn't worry about the Harry Potter actress. I have seen all the movies and had no idea what even her first name was.

I like all four of the combos you're considering without a strong preference for any of them.

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far!!! KEEP them coming! I can't figure out why this is so difficult! Boy's name, DONE. I hear WILL and I love it! I can't say that I have that same association w/ girls names! This is so difficult!

I like Grace Sophia...the flow I mean. I can't use Sophia though b/c dear friend has. Any suggestions to take it's place?

Thanks!!!
