Baby girl names!

[guster]

cagoldi, I think Paisley is such a cute name!
And Hazel is great, @nam. I don’t like the nn Haze, however

[vino]

guster I like exactly ZERO of those names. Maaaaybe Lucy, but hard no to the others

[jewels]

I love Mallory. But I prefer it to go with Joy, not Claire.

I also LOVE Molly (it was going to be B's name if he was a girl) but it might be too trendy for you now.

I think if you like Meredith it should be back on the table. Grey's Anatomy will be off the air in another year, and in 5 years no one will equate Meredith with that show. Heck, I watch it and I don't even think of it with that show.

I'm not a fan of Marley (sorry)

I like Natalie too, and I think any of the names would go well with your boys' names.

[jewels]

Funny guster - my neice who is 2 is named Hadley, I had never heard the name before her, and I didn't like it at first, but it has grown on me and I love it now (mostly because I love her so much)

Also, S has a Reina in his class too. I think it's so pretty. She is Indian and I thought maybe it was a common indian name. She has a sister who has a very common Indian name, so I just assumed...

Lastly, I don't consider Lucy an uncommon name. I think it's pretty popular right now, actually. I know a few toddlers with that name.

Also, PDQ as I will probably poof the neice's name later.

Yes to this.  Meredith is a great name and Grey's will end at some point....right?...right?

Same lol.

I'm not opposed to nick names. We call J Jackson, jack, and jack jack. Based solely on his mood lol.

[peachsmama]

I will be reading alllll of these to A. We keep joking she can name herself when shes old enough. Ever since Ana, we've never agreed on a girl name.

[guster]

I thought you both liked April if Jack was a girl.

Actually I'm not convinced of this. I think the earth could turn to dust and Grey's would still be airing. It might outlast us all.

Noooo haze...?! I don’t think I’ve ever heard that!

Oh and I love Josephine, so delicate, but with an awesome strong nickname, Jo.

Yes.  My maiden name is hard to say and I was always asked 'How do you say that' 'How do you spell that', I would NEVER put my kid through that for a first name.

Truer words have never been spoken.  We'll all be watching it in the seniors home on Thursday nights...

Meh.  I get asked that all the time and I did it to my kid, too.

[inthekitty]

Amelie
Adele
Charlotte
Cecily
Casey
Darla
Genevieve
Jocelyn
Lidia
Lorraine
Nicole
Scarlett
Willow


Cass would like to add Blonda and Petunia, the names of her dolls.

Nope.  They pronounce it like Zara but with an M.

For H or M? I didn’t know how you pronounced M’s name until just a while ago.

Nvrmnd: I see you answered my question

[klong11]

Cadence gets called Candice a lot.

[wineallthetime]

I like Mallory too. We talked about Marlee for C. I liked it then, but am indifferent to it now.

Some of my current favorites:
Remy
Georgia
Anna (Guessing this would be a no for you because of Ana)
Rose, nn Rosie
Julia
Lucia

I like this name as well. ;-)

Ugh to Natalie...I was best friends for a few years with a girl I worked with who had that name.  She stabbed me in the back, like got me fired and never talked to me again, and we hung out ALL the time leading up to that.  That was almost 9 years ago and I still haven't moved on.

[trtlcrzy]

Hannah is a great common/uncommon name
So is Carly/Karly
Some other names I like but probably won’t ever use that meet your criteria:
Savannah
Grace
Ivy
Elsie
Sierra
Bridget

Eta:
Emily is also one of my favorites

Alex barely liked it. Not enough to commit. And I'm just not feeling it this time. It's still on the list though.

[flamingo]

I like Natalie. That one popped into my head after I posted upthread. I have only known 1. Molly isn't bad in and of itself but I have known so many labs and golden retrievers with that name, it would rule it out for me, lol.

I still like Meredith a lot and I wouldn't let Grey's Anatomy stop me. I feel like we'd be seeing a lot more in classrooms if it was popular b/c of that (think about "Charlotte" after SATC...went from relative oblivion to a top 10 name). The only Merediths I have ever known are my age.

Consider the boys' names, too. They are pretty classic so to put something super whimsical or dramatic would be an odd combo, IMO. But that's just me.

vino I have always liked Lauren and even Laurel (slightly less common). I think Lauren was more popular when we were young but hasn't been as 'hot' recently, which isn't a bad thing.

[nam2013]

Eleanor? NN Ellis or Nora?

[tgrimes]

Molly reminds me of the drug. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[nam2013]

@peachmama I like the nameberry website, you can enter a name you like and it shows you which names you might like based on that. You probably already knew this.
