    My husband and I have narrowed it down to 3:
    Mya
    Caroline
    Colette


    ETA: Mya is our front runner. It has been my favorite girls name since I was 5 and loved watching the cartoon "Mya the Bee" on Nick Junior

    We went with Eleanor. Nora for short. I'm a teacher and wanted a name I don't often hear in the classroom.

    I like Caroline too, it's a pretty, classic name.

    my 5yr old is Isla (pronounced Eye-la) and she always gets compliments on her name. I'm pretty annoyed at myself that we named her a tricky-to-spell-and-pronounce name, but what are you going to do? haha!
    I also have always loved Cleo but my husband never did.

    If we had a girl we were going to name her Ophelia and call her Opie for short (big SOA fans, lol) We are having another boy though so that name is out.

    I already have a Gwyneth and a Margaret. (Margaret was named after her grandmother and we call her Maggie).

    I haven't really thought about names yet for this one, but a top pick from my last pregnancy was Alice.

    Same here - our daughter is Miriana (Meer-ee-ah-na), Miri for short and everyone ALWAYS says Mary. I hadn't really considered it too much beforehand but now we get it all the time.

    If this one had been a girl we were using Temperance Suzanne.

    We picked Caroline too (my Dad's name was Carol Joe). It's a beautiful name....plus there are a ton of songs with the name in it. I think it'll be fun to sing then to her.

    Our list as approved by hubby:

    Evelyn (99.999% sure that's what we'll choose, I've been obsessed with it since I had my son 4 years ago....only crappy thing is it's becoming way too popular for my liking)
    Lillian
    Bridget
    Josephine (I totally thought hubby was joking with this one, I'm not keen on it)

    We had a girl's name picked out a few days after finding out we were pregnant but couldn't settle on a boy's name.
    The girl's name was Aria. But, as it turns out, it is a boy. We still don't have a boy's name.

    I really want a Finley for a little girl. Undecided on the middle name. We still don't know what we're having yet. I already have a little boy - Jameson Scott O'Meara :-) I cannot think of any other boy names that I love so I hope this little one ends up being a girl!

    We've picked Evelyn (Evie for short), Clementine, Camille, Minerva or Minnehaha (Minnie for short), Marnie, Holly and i'm sure there were probably others but we haven't go close to deciding which is our front runner. Have no boys names we both like (the one we do, William, we both refuse to put with our surname: McWilliams). Hopefully we pull it together once baby arrives!

    Thanks for all the responses! We don't know thex sex, but the boy's name came easy. However we don't agree on girl's names. I can't decide if I like a feminine name or a tomboyish/girlie name better. I love all the older names....Ella, Emma, Hannah, Sophia, etc....but hubs is not a fan. So now I am thinking Samantha/Sam or Alexandra/Alex. I don't know...such a tough decision. All I know is I am looking for something that will not only be cute for when she is little, but will age well.

    We've narrowed it down to Rose and Amira. I love Amira but I'm not sure if it's too uncommon and will be difficult to spell/pronounce here in the US.

    Hubby likes Margot but I think it's too bookish. He also likes Vivian. I like Louisa and Sylvie. Our other two daughters are Genevieve and Lydia (LOVE those names)

    Two boys at home and pregnant with our first daughter. We will be naming her Lena Lucille.

    This name has been picked since we were pregnant with our first 8 years ago. Which we still love it, but both me and the hubby also fell in love with Evangeline. We have been tempted to change it, but we don't like to shorten names into nicknames and that would be a very long name for her to have to write. I've also always loved Grace, but hubby vetoed that due to a great-aunt that had that name and he does not associate happy memories with.
