[name]Hi[/name] there! I’m expecting my second daughter in Oct. and I’m totally stumped. Our first daughter is [name]Caitlin[/name] [name]Mary[/name] after our maternal grandparents, but now I’m hoping to pick something a little more creative and hip. I really like [name]Ailsa[/name], [name]Ainsley[/name], [name]Aislinn[/name], Avelyn, [name]Haven[/name], [name]Kerensa[/name], [name]Kinsey[/name], [name]Kinsley[/name], [name]Kelsey[/name], [name]Kerris[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Philippa[/name] ([name]Pippa[/name]), [name]Remy[/name], [name]Stella[/name] while my hubby likes all the super popular names in our area: [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Abby[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Ava[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Eva[/name]. There are a few that we agree on, but I’m not sure if our selections really match with the name [name]Caitlin[/name]. [name]Just[/name] looking for some extra input. Any help is super super appreciated. Middle names are also welcome 
Thanks a bunch!
With [name]Caitlin[/name] [name]Mary[/name] I really like [name]Ailsa[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name]. I like [name]Carys[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you have any other family names which you would like to use in the middle spot?

[name]Tallulah[/name]
Sorry that was quite a list!
Thanks for the input! My hubby hates [name]Ailsa[/name] but we both like [name]Maeve[/name] so that’s on the list! I love [name]Carys[/name], spelled [name]Cerys[/name] but unfortunately, because our last name begins with a Shh sound the S ending and Sh beginning don’t really sound too nice. No other special family names to really incorporate in the middle spot except for a grandfather’s name “[name]James[/name]”. Thought it might sound cool with the more femine names we’re looking at for the first name. We love the name [name]Keira[/name] but a close friend of mine has 2 daughters named [name]Ciara[/name] and [name]Caitlin[/name]. It’s weird enough that we both have Caitlins so I’m definitely not touching [name]Keira[/name]. I love the Irish names, but our last name is very French and it doesn’t really seem to go. We’ve settled on:
[name]Addison[/name]
[name]Ainsley[/name]
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Avery[/name]
[name]Kelsey[/name]
[name]Kinsey[/name]
[name]Kinsley[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Pippa[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
Not sure which will make the cut and I’m still looking and open to more suggestions from anyone!
Thanks again!

I love [name]Pippa[/name]! [name]Caitlin[/name] and [name]Pippa[/name] is just too cute. I also love [name]Ava[/name]- such great names
Thanks! I think we’re leaning towards [name]Maeve[/name] or [name]Pippa[/name]. However, I would like to name her [name]Philippa[/name] but call her [name]Pippa[/name]. Hubby is not so sure. Also our middle names are out the window. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Wow. You guys are AMAZING! Thanks for the input. Not loving the [name]Maeve[/name] combinations for some reason. I’m not really a fan of any of the second names with [name]Maeve[/name]. Although I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Pippa[/name], I will definitely be choosing [name]Philippa[/name] over [name]Pippa[/name] as her formal name, so I’d like the mn to go well with [name]Philippa[/name] too. I love:
[name]Pippa[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Pippa[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Pippa[/name] [name]Mae[/name]

These are great! Thank you! I’ve compiled a “master list” of names to look at. It’s 3 pages…typed!!! I’ve included all your combos, plus re-read the 7, yes [name]SEVEN[/name] books I bought and added some more names. I’m on vacation for the week and I’m going to relax and play with the names a bit, trying new combos and see what happens. Obviously I’m over-thinking this. Thanks again!

[name]Kelsey[/name] and [name]Caitlin[/name] sound good together.

Great names! [name]Don[/name]'t worry about obsessing. It will be worth your daughter having a beautiful and inspired name I think you should consider the first and middle names all at once because it may help you and your hubby to compromise. Hearing a name you’re not sure of beside one you love can help you to see them both in a good light.
Here’s some others you may want to consider taken from your narrowed down list…
[name]Everly[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] (nn [name]Eve[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]/[name]Evie[/name]/[name]Ever[/name])
[name]Kinsley[/name] [name]Pascale[/name] (the most beautiful girl I have ever met is named [name]Pascale[/name])
[name]Tinsley[/name] [name]Grace[/name] ([name]Grace[/name] is tranditional for your hubby)
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] (nn [name]Elle[/name])
[name]Noa[/name] [name]Brielle[/name] (I think [name]Noa[/name] is a beautiful and simple name like [name]Ava[/name], [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Elle[/name], just less common)
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Louise[/name] (I noticed you liked English names, this one is a little less used in [name]North[/name] [name]America[/name])
[name]Philippa[/name] [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name] [name]Aveline[/name]
[name]Arden[/name] [name]Estelle[/name] (rather than [name]Addison[/name] and [name]Stella[/name])
Also I wouldn’t worry too much with it meshing with [name]Caitlin[/name] since I think [name]Caitlin[/name] is a pretty flexible name. Very pretty – with the hard C and softer “lin” it can go with a lot.
