First of all let me just say I’m not pregnant yet, but we have been ttc for almost 2 years now. When I get major baby fever I love to dream of what we’ll name our future children. 
Anyway, these are some of the names we’re considering for if we ever have a baby girl. I would love to hear what you all think of them, and maybe you can help us narrow down our list. I would also be open to other names you think we might like. Thanks so much for any feedback you can give!!
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation)
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn)
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling)
[name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though)
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name])
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet)
[name]Elaine[/name]
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name]
OK, first of all, fantastic list.
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) - this is great. Uncommon, girly, easy to pronounce
[name]Emmeline[/name] - stunning
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) lovely name, but you have better options
[name]Cecily[/name] - love this. love [name]Celia[/name] and [name]Cecelia[/name] also
[name]Eliza[/name] - nice, strong classic
[name]Arielle[/name] - stunning. not as classic as your others, but I love this name
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) - OK, I don’t like [name]Charlotte[/name]. I don’t have any good reasons though so just ignore me
[name]Nora[/name] - fave. [name]Elnora[/name], [name]Leonora[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Helena[/name]
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - probably the most ‘dated’ on your list. Prefer [name]Diana[/name].
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) horrible. Sorry. I dislike any name ending in ‘lene’. its so screechy
[name]Elaine[/name] - oh I didnt see this when I suggested [name]Elena[/name]. Prefer [name]Elena[/name], [name]Elaina[/name], [name]Helena[/name] etc
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - nice. nothing special though.
Other ideas:
[name]Anabelle[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) - I think it’s cute, but I do prefer the similar [name]Corliss[/name].
[name]Emmeline[/name] - I personally pronounce this with the -leen ending; and I love it! Very high on my own list.
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) - Beautiful name, but not digging the spelling. I prefer [name]Anneliese[/name].
[name]Cecily[/name] - Not a fan, much prefer [name]Cecilia[/name].
[name]Eliza[/name] - Not a fan, much prefer [name]Elizabeth[/name].
[name]Arielle[/name] - I actually don’t like this name at all; but there’s nothing wrong with it.
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) - I love [name]Lottie[/name]! There is history of [name]Lottie[/name]/[name]Lotte[/name] being used as a full first name if [name]Charlotte[/name]'s popularity is bugging you. There’s also the spunky [name]Carlotta[/name] option as well.
[name]Nora[/name] - Another name a don’t like, but again, there’s nothing wrong with it. [name]Noelle[/name] maybe?
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - I don’t care much about this name and i don’t really think it needs a nickname.
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) - I’m personally not a huge fan, but it reminds me of [name]Magdalene[/name] and [name]Magdalena[/name] with the nn [name]Lena[/name] or [name]Maggie[/name] as well as [name]Madeline[/name].
[name]Elaine[/name] - My sister’s name is [name]Layne[/name] and (very biasly) have grown to like [name]Layne[/name] over [name]Elaine[/name] and any variation of it.
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it! When I first saw the name, it was spelled [name]Karina[/name], but I have a friend that spells it [name]Carina[/name] and I’ve gotten used to that. I think [name]Karina[/name] looks more feminine while [name]Carina[/name] is the athletic more tomboy version.
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) pretty! I love just [name]Coral[/name] even more. Maybe [name]Cordelia[/name]?
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn) nms. Feels prissy. Maybe [name]Emmanuelle[/name]
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) nms
[name]Cecily[/name] very pretty. Also love [name]Cecilia[/name] & [name]Silvia[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] love it. I also love [name]Liza[/name] & [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name] pretty but I do think mermaid
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) pretty but not rare
[name]Nora[/name] nice but I love it as a nn for [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) I prefer [name]Diana[/name]
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) 
I like this style it’s old fashioned but not in a trendy way. It’s not my favorite but I like that it’s different
[name]Elaine[/name] I prefer [name]Elena[/name] or [name]Ellen[/name] or [name]Helene[/name]
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] this is ok but I really love [name]Corinne[/name]
Nice list!
I think you have a really nice list! I adore [name]Coralie[/name] and [name]Cecily[/name], though - especially [name]Cecily[/name]! It’s a very long time love of mine. I think it’s a little quirky and different here in the states, but totally classy and sophisticated. I always think of The Importance Of Being [name]Ernest[/name] but for some reason it brings to mind a sweet little red head.
You’ve got a great list!
[name]Coralie[/name] - okay, but I prefer just [name]Cora[/name] or [name]Cordelia[/name]. she sounds very sweet!
[name]Emmeline[/name] - love [name]Emmeline[/name]! She feels very fresh and vintage-charming yet also grounded, which I love.
[name]Annelise[/name] - meh. not really my style.
[name]Cecily[/name] - love [name]Cecily[/name]!
[name]Eliza[/name] - [name]Eliza[/name] is great!
[name]Arielle[/name] - not a fan.
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] - great name, but yeah, the popularity factor does kind of suck.
[name]Nora[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Nora[/name]!
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - prefer the more classical [name]Diana[/name], but [name]Diane[/name] is nice
[name]Charlene[/name] - dated
[name]Elaine[/name] - would love to meet a little [name]Elaine[/name]!
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - fine, but not really my style
Suggestions:
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Calla[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Molly[/name]
[name]Cassidy[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Greta[/name]
Thanks for all the feedback! It helps just to have some fresh perspectives on these names that we’ve been talking over for the last few years. And you all had some great suggestions too! I like the suggestions of [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Laurel[/name], [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Molly[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]. Not sure my husband would go for all of them, but those are definitely along the lines of the names we like.
If we have a boy, we are almost positive we will name him either [name]Griffin[/name] or [name]Beckett[/name]. So with that in mind, which names would go best with those?
Again, thanks for all the help!
[name]Coralie[/name] - one of my favorites. It’s beautiful. [name]Naomi[/name]? [name]Coraline[/name]?
[name]Emmeline[/name] - not a fan, [name]Annmarie[/name]? [name]Anabel[/name]?
[name]Annelise[/name] - I really like this one, beautiful meaning.
[name]Cecily[/name] - pretty, what about [name]Clara[/name] or [name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] - I’ve never been a fan of this, despite my love for [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Arielle[/name] - I actually really like it. It’s definitely a bit princessy because of the Disney connection, but the meaning is beautiful.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - I do like it, but I don’t love it
[name]Nora[/name] - I like it, but it’s much simpler than the rest of your list. What about [name]Noelle[/name]/[name]Noella[/name]?
[name]Diane[/name] - I like it, very classic
[name]Charlene[/name] - sorry I don’t like this one either. [name]Sharla[/name]?
[name]Elaine[/name] - this is all Seinfeld for me, sorry. I do like just [name]Laine[/name]. What about [name]Gwendolyn[/name]? [name]Eveline[/name]?
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - I really like [name]Corina[/name]/[name]Corinna[/name], it feels more elegant to me, but I love the sound of [name]Carina[/name].
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) - lovely, but perhaps too whimsical next to [name]Beckett[/name] or [name]Griffin[/name]?
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn) - [name]One[/name] of my favourite names, especially with the -leen pronunciation, but sounds country next to [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) - Because it’s the best spelling! [name]ANNALiese[/name] and [name]ANALise[/name] have words at the front that are hard to unsee. Has he seen it spelled [name]Anneliese[/name]? This is a very pretty and underused name that feels stately like [name]Beckett[/name] and slightlly ethereal like [name]Griffin[/name].
[name]Cecily[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! Such a sweet name. [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name] work for me, but doesn’t scream cute.
[name]Eliza[/name] - Also love! [name]Eliza[/name] is the one that strikes the closest note to your boy options.
[name]Arielle[/name] - Great name. Seems futzy compared to your boy names, though.
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) - the popularity has made this one lose its sparkle for me
[name]Nora[/name] - Beautiful name. A little [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Beckett[/name] soudns so vintage and crotchety and stately, but in the absolute best of ways. Adorable!
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - Feels dated to me. Can’t quite picture it. Seems more old school than your boy names.
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) - not a fan
[name]Elaine[/name] - This is one of those names that’s lost its lustre for me because there are so many variants. I’ve known [name]Alaina[/name]'s, Elenas, Elaines, [name]Alana[/name]'s, etc, and it all starts to sound the same for me. This is by far my favourite variation. I also have a secret thing for [name]Helaine[/name]. Goes well with your boy names!
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - Hmm, seems to strike a different note than the others on your list! [name]Don[/name]'t love it.
You have a really nice list here!
[name]Coralie[/name]-pretty but not my favorite. [name]Natalie[/name]?
[name]Emmeline[/name]- Very pretty! You could call her [name]Emme[/name]
[name]Annelise[/name]- Not a fan of the spelling…pretty name though!
[name]Cecily[/name]- This sounds like a cute and happy little girl! It’s quite unique as well.
[name]Eliza[/name]-Lovelovelove this one!
[name]Arielle[/name]- Really pretty!
[name]Charlotte[/name]-It’s popular but if you really love it you should use it anyway! Nickname [name]Lottie[/name] makes it more
unique.
[name]Nora[/name]-Ehh boring.
[name]Diane[/name]- I know too many ladies from the baby boomer generation with this name. I like [name]Diana[/name] better.
[name]Charlene[/name]- This sounds baby boomer to me too.
[name]Elaine[/name]-Same as [name]Charlene[/name] and [name]Diane[/name].
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name]- I like this with the C spelling!
With siblings [name]Beckett[/name] and/or [name]Griffin[/name], I think [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], and [name]Cecily[/name] flow best with the sibset.
Your style is a bit more feminine than mine, but I’ll tell you my first impressions and suggestions.
[name]Coralie[/name]: This is cute and sweet. Have you considered [name]Coral[/name]?
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn): I think this would often get mistaken as EmmelEEN, so you’d have to be willing to give your daughter a name she would be constantly correcting. What about [name]Clementine[/name]? (although it has the same ine/een dilemma, it just seems to fit with your naming style preferences)
[name]Annelise[/name]: This is really nice, NMS.
[name]Cecily[/name]: This is much better than [name]Cecelia[/name] or [name]Celia[/name].
[name]Eliza[/name]: All I can think of is P&P or My Fair Lady…but honestly, picturing it on an actual [name]IRL[/name] human…it’s kinda cool!
[name]Arielle[/name]: The Disney connection doesn’t bother me. I prefer the spelling [name]Ariel[/name]. Also there might be some confusion with pronunciation: I see [name]Ariel[/name] as [name]AIR[/name]-ee-ul, and [name]Arielle[/name] as ah-ree-[name]ELLE[/name].
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name]: I love [name]Charlotte[/name], and I also wish it wasn’t so popular. Great name tho.
[name]Nora[/name]: Sounds kind of plain to me.
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]): I don’t think [name]Diane[/name] “needs” a nickname. Also kind of plain. I like [name]Dinah[/name] for an alternative.
[name]Charlene[/name]: Never liked this one. Stick with [name]Charlotte[/name] despite the popularity if you want a [name]Char[/name]- name. Or start looking at Car- names like [name]Carissa[/name].
[name]Elaine[/name]: Makes me think of Seinfeld. Also I think [name]Elaine[/name], like [name]Diane[/name], sounds dated. [name]How[/name] about [name]Alaina[/name]?
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name]: I agree with the above poster, with [name]Corina[/name], although I would use [name]Corinne[/name]! I think the distinction is one of heritage…[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] sounds more like [name]Italy[/name] or South [name]America[/name], and [name]Corinne[/name] sounds more like [name]France[/name], Greece, and the British Isles. Is there a certain part of your family or personal history that you want to honor?
[ok and I’m gonna totally geek out here, and as you can see my naming style is much more tomboyish than yours, but [name]Corinne[/name] means “maiden” and [name]Corin[/name] means “spear”, so considering these two meanings together gives an image of a strong and beautiful warrior princess right??!! I just fell in love with this name whole lot more]
I love [name]Annelise[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], and [name]Charlotte[/name]!
Good, strong list!
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) - Really like this one! [name]Coraline[/name], or just [name]Cora[/name] are both lovely, as well.
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn) - Really like this. ([name]Emmeline[/name] pn line and [name]Emmalyn[/name] pn lyn. I like them boy equally.)
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) - I adore this name. (Spelled this way, too.)
[name]Cecily[/name] - I like it. I think I like [name]Cecilia[/name] or [name]Celia[/name] better, though.
[name]Eliza[/name] - Never been a fan of this one.
[name]Arielle[/name] - All I think of is The [name]Little[/name] Mermaid.
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) - I like this one. I prefer [name]Charlie[/name] as a nn, but [name]Lottie[/name] is cute, too.
[name]Nora[/name] - I never used to like this one, but it has grown on me lately.
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - I prefer [name]Annette[/name] to get the nn [name]Annie[/name]. [name]Diane[/name] lends itself to [name]Di[/name] easier for me.
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) - Not a fan. I do like the nn [name]Charlie[/name], though.
[name]Elaine[/name] - I think Seinfeld. That’s not bad, though. This is the spelling I prefer, though.
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - I prefer the [name]Carina[/name] spelling. Maybe by #6 from your list.

Not only did I not help you narrow down your list, I may have added more to it! Sorry!! :eek:
[name]Coralie[/name] - This is a nice name, although I think it fits a child better. Can’t really imagine it as a formal name for an adult.
[name]Emmeline[/name] - I only like it with the -leen pronunciation, sorry.
[name]Annelise[/name] - Not my style.
[name]Cecily[/name] - It’s okay. Better than [name]Cecilia[/name].
[name]Eliza[/name] - Perfect. I love this name.
[name]Arielle[/name] - Too ‘frilly’ for me.
[name]Charlotte[/name] - Really beautiful name. [name]One[/name] of my favorites!
[name]Nora[/name] - Not my style.
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - I like this, but [name]Dianna[/name] is better.
[name]Charlene[/name] - This is a nice name. A little dated but I think it’s still usable. Would love to see it being used again.
[name]Elaine[/name] - I like it. I’m not a fan of [name]Alaina[/name] or [name]Elaina[/name] because I think it’s too ‘frilly’, but [name]Elaine[/name] sounds balanced.
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - I prefer [name]Catrina[/name].
Interesting mix of names! I basically like most of them, though not so much in the case of [name]Diane[/name], [name]Charlene[/name] or [name]Elaine[/name].
It might be me, but [name]Beckett[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name] seem to have a different style, so I can’t quite work out which from your list would really work well with these boy names.

All the best and let us know how you get on!
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) - Very pretty, love the nn [name]Cora[/name].
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn) - The pronunciation issues with this name irk me, but it is still very pretty. The pronunciation you are using is the only one I like.
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) - Not my favorite on your list, but still nice. It surprises me that this name isn’t more popular than it is. I could see it climbing the charts soon enough.
[name]Cecily[/name] - I prefer [name]Cecilia[/name] because it sounds more pleasing to the ear. [name]Don[/name]'t care for the meaning of the name.
[name]Eliza[/name] - I used to like this name, but it is not my cup of tea anymore. I feel like I need to say this name with a British accent for some reason.
[name]Arielle[/name] - Unusual and pretty!
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) - I also wish this name wasn’t so popular. It is a nice name.
[name]Nora[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favorites. Short and sweet.
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - I don’t like [name]Diane[/name] because it is super popular with the middle aged crowd where I live. [name]Diana[/name] sounds fresh and sweet to me.
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) - Meh.
[name]Elaine[/name] - I like [name]Elaine[/name]. Prefer [name]Alaina[/name], [name]Elena[/name] or [name]Helena[/name], but [name]Elaine[/name] is nice as well.
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - I like it! Where I live the [name]Karine[/name] version is more common, but I prefer [name]Karina[/name].
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) - [name]Love[/name] it. This is such a great name.
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn) - Not a fan, but mostly due to the overwhelming overuse of [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Emma[/name]

[name]Cecily[/name] - Pretty.

[name]Arielle[/name] - I really dislike this. I can’t really pinpoint why though.
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) - I love [name]Charlotte[/name] too and skipped it for the same reason.
[name]Nora[/name] - It’s pretty popular here, but a lovely name.
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) - I’m not a fan. It’s a name I associated with my mothers’ friends as it was common in that time period.
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) - Not a fan.
[name]Elaine[/name] - I love [name]Elena[/name] and [name]Helena[/name], but I just don’t like [name]Elaine[/name] on its own.
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] - This is adorable. My daughter named her stuffed puppy this and it’s just such a cute name.
Oh boy you asked for opinionated!! HAHA that is me!
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation) I have changed so much over time, a few years ago I would have really dislike this one, but I think it is nice now.
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn) Where I really liked this (and variations) I am tired of it now.
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling) Not my taste, but it sounds nice
[name]Cecily[/name] I do not really like [name]Cicily[/name], but I do like the nickname Cici
[name]Eliza[/name] I really like this one.
[name]Arielle[/name] I picture a mermaid sorry
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though) [name]One[/name] of my very favorites
[name]Nora[/name] My Moms best friend is [name]Nora[/name], a nice comfortable name to me.
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name]) I have always like [name]Diane[/name] and [name]Diana[/name]
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet) I do not care for [name]Charlene[/name] which is weird because it is so close to [name]Charlotte[/name] which I love
[name]Elaine[/name] Not one I care for
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name] I like, maybe find it hard not to look for the T to make it [name]Katrina[/name], But I like it better without!
[name]Coralie[/name], a little old-sounding to me
[name]Emmeline[/name], nice but a bit much
[name]Annelise[/name], pretty nice
[name]Cecily[/name], it’s fairly cute
[name]Eliza[/name], good traditional name
[name]Arielle[/name], not too much
[name]Charlotte[/name], like it but not my fav
[name]Nora[/name], prob my favorite of the bunch, perfect
[name]Diane[/name], my 2nd fav, lovely, strong, & classic, but prefer it with 2 n’s, [name]Dianne[/name] (just don’t go with [name]Diana[/name]…blasé and passé!)
[name]Charlene[/name], not a fan
[name]Elaine[/name], not so much
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name], cool but sounds sort of Russian
I love your name choices! I tend to choose similar feeling names so I liked reading your post. Here are my thought on the names:
[name]Coralie[/name] ([name]Cora[/name]-lee pronunciation)- very beautiful but still fun
[name]Emmeline[/name] (pronounced line, not leen or lyn)- I love this name but [name]Emma[/name]/[name]Emme[/name] names are super popular right now
[name]Annelise[/name] (hubby only likes this spelling)- Beautiful! And I like that the spelling actually matches how its pronounced
[name]Cecily[/name]- maybe has a little bit of an older feel? Its not my favorite.
[name]Eliza[/name]- Not my favorite because of the sharp “z” sound
[name]Arielle[/name]- [name]Said[/name] [name]Ari[/name]-el or [name]Ari[/name]-ellie? Either way it has a pretty (maybe even musical) sound
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] (wish it wasn’t so popular though)- Im with you on the populatity. I like it but its too used for me.
[name]Nora[/name]- simple, sweet, ages well
[name]Diane[/name] (nn [name]Annie[/name])- not a fan. Sorry but for me it makes me think of an older woman
[name]Charlene[/name] (this is very new to the list, not totally sure what I think of it yet)- [name]Love[/name]! I think it will age well but it still is cute & fun for a little girl
[name]Elaine[/name]- if my last name wasn’t [name]Lane[/name] I would totally use this name someday. So cute and I love the nn [name]Lainey[/name]
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Carina[/name]- feels kinda old to me. Maybe [name]Kalina[/name]? (Ka-[name]Lee[/name]-Nah)
