Which name is best? Thanks for your opinion!
- Annika Cordilia Cottle-Nick name-Niki
- Annika Katherine Cottle
- Audrianna Katherine Cottle -NN-Audrey
- Torey Beth Cottle
- Sydney Beth Cottle
- Kiera Beth Cottle
- Marta Katherine Cottle
- Gayle Christine Cottle
- Hazel Beth Cottle
- Audrey Katherine Cottle
You will be able to change your vote.

With such a short C- ln I'd probably avoid a fn with a hard K/C sound (so that rules out Kiera and Annika for me, although I actually like both). I also don't like how Hazel Cottle sounds, I think because they're the same number of syllables and end in -el/-le sounds. I also wasn't sure about Marta Cottle because of the prominent T sounds in both (even though I like it otherwise).
Of the others, Torey and Sydney Cottle just weren't my favorites, but I can't quite put my finger on why that is. ;) And while I like Gayle for a grown woman, I prefer it as a nn for something longer for a little girl (but then we ARE naming our third daughter Abigail, and I've only ever known adults named simply Gayle, so that's probably influencing my viewpoint here LOL).
That left me with Audrianna and Audrey, both of which I like, but I am wondering how you'd like Audrianna pronounced (technically, because of the double Ns, the ending would be Anna, so if that's the one you want good job with the spelling ... I also think Audriana - with the ah-na ending - would be just as nice). All that aside, I think I would vote for Audrianna simply because that way she has a longer name with the option of using the shorter name Audrey (or even Audra, if you hadn't considered that one), KWIM?
Oh, and I do like Katherine with either, just as you have them. ;)
HTH :)

Annika Cordilia Cottle-Nick name-Niki- prefer with mn Katherine
Annika Katherine Cottle- I like this a lot, its unique without being weird, and the nn Niki is cute
Audrianna Katherine Cottle -NN-Audrey - I don't like this. I don't see Audrey as a nn, I see it as a full name. Audrianna seems stuck up to me
Torey Beth Cottle- I like Tori, but prefer as a nn for Victoria
Sydney Beth Cottle- pretty, love Beth as a mn.
Kiera Beth Cottle- Kiera is too trendy IMO
Marta Katherine Cottle- BEAUTIFUL, I love this name. I would prefer with mn Beth though
Gayle Christine Cottle- Gayle still seems outdated to me, although its not common at all and thats a plus, have you conisdered Laurel?
Hazel Beth Cottle- doesn't flow with Cottle
Audrey Katherine Cottle- there you go, I prefer this greatly over Audrianna. Pretty

My daughters name is Audrey Anna, but I wanted to name her Audrianna. So I voted for this name.
Of course, I also like Audrey. Annika is also a pretty name on your list
I love Torey but would spell it Tori. It's nice to see you would name her that and not name her Victoria and call her Tori. I'm not one for shortening names.

Our daughters that are already here are named:
Makenna Lee (named by her...mother)
Alexa Nichole (named by her...mother)
Aloura Joyce (named by me)
So thats what we are working with already...Laurel is out although I love it...and so is Laruelei...which I also love. But I love Marta Beth...great thinking!
Thank you for your oppinion!
Oh and I agree Adrianna(aud-ree-ah-na) does sound stuck up, lol!
