[name_f]Marina[/name_f]! Did you picked middle?
It depends on the surname but here are my thoughts on your name list (my faves are bolded). You’re fortunate that you and your husband have similar tastes in naming. It’s usally the opposite problem for most parents who post here. 
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - This is pretty and has a bit of sass thrown into the mix!
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - A classic name but I knew two Evelyns in the small office where I used to work so it’s not a big deal for me anymore.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - this [name_m]French[/name_m] version sounds so much more friendlier and approachable than the megapopular [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - [name_f]One[/name_f] of my favourite flower names.
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] - better in the middle spot
[name_u]Emery[/name_u] - trendy and sounds like a nail file
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u] - trendy and cutesy
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - pretty and exotic
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - I always like [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. Sweet, simple, pretty, great meaning (star)…
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - Sweet and down-to-earth
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - I, too, prefer [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] than [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] (both are pretty though)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - like it too, just worry about its popularity
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] - I like it, but prefer as mn.
[name_u]Emery[/name_u] - dislike
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u] - dislike
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - [name_f]Marina[/name_f] off the sea! Beautiful and fresh. Vote for [name_f]Marina[/name_f].
Well regardless of what name we like, make sure it sounds great with the middle and the last name, as well as your other children (if you have others, anyway!). It would help if you gave us some clue as to what those are.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] - lovely! My favorite, though popular.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - very pretty name. I like it
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - lovely name
[name_u]Emery[/name_u] - I like it a lot, though definitely trendy
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] - okay
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - very pretty, but so popular that it makes me like it less
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - meh, it’s okay
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u] - I really don’t like this one at all. Compared to your other names it’s uber trendy and teen-mom
I really like most of your choices.
I picked Sophie, but I also think the following are great:
Stella
Evelyn
Violet
Willow
Marina
Blakely is interesting. It would make a good middle. Sophie Blakely and my ex’s last name sound good
Emery is the only name I really don’t care for.
Good Luck!
I picked [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. It’s what I would name my baby girl but my husband hates it.
I really liked all your choices though accept for [name_u]Emery[/name_u] and [name_u]Blakely[/name_u].
I love both [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]! I’d use either on a daughter myself! I think I’m going to vote [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]. My cousin claimed the name in it’s Polish form [name_f]Zofia[/name_f] if she ever has a daughter. I mean we grew up together, like sisters, so I kind of had to respect that. Since [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is off limits, [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] is the name I have picked out if I ever had another daughter.
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] is [name_u]Emery[/name_u]
I love [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], especially hyphenated w/[name_f]Grace[/name_f]–[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Grace[/name_f] is just too sweet. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] also works.
You have some beautiful choices to pick from! My two favorites are [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f], but that’s merely personal preference. I actually knew a [name_f]Marina[/name_f] with the surname [name_m]Hall[/name_m], and she was a rad lady.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_f]Marina[/name_f] all get my vote.
I really like [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Emery[/name_u], and [name_u]Blakely[/name_u].
Thanks for all your suggestions!
