I really like [name]Zoe[/name] but am concerned it might be overly trendy. [name]Anna[/name] is a lovely name that, while more popular, is also classic. My husband likes them both plus [name]Helen[/name], which I think is a bit too old-fashioned.
Would appreciate opinions plus middle name suggestions. Our last name is two syllables. thanks

[name]Zoe[/name]: I think it’s really pretty, but like you said, it’s quite popular, and very close to [name]Chloe[/name], which is in the Top 10 now.
If you’re concerned about the trendy feel, perhaps [name]Phoebe[/name] could be an option for you?

thanks [name]Jill[/name] for the great input! Really helpful.
My favorite is definately [name]Helen[/name], but spelled [name]Elaine[/name]. I think it seems less old-fashioned…So yah…my favorite ! And for a middle name, I think [name]Val[/name]”rie or [name]Lydia[/name] would be perfect 
[name]Elaine[/name] [name]Val[/name]”rie
[name]Elaine[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]
You’re welcome!
I think [name]Helen[/name] or [name]Helena[/name] are both lovely. With [name]Helen[/name], you get the [name]Helen[/name] Keller associations. Also, with the unforgettable [name]Helen[/name] of [name]Troy[/name], the name can never truly become fusty.
My vote would be for [name]Helen[/name]. But since you have a 2-syllable last name, I think a longer middle name would be good.
[name]How[/name] about [name]Helen[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]? I like the echoing of the ‘el’ sound.
Or if you want a Z-name. [name]Helen[/name] [name]Zenobia[/name]
Also could consider [name]Helen[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]
I really do like all three. [name]Helen[/name] is a lovely, underused classic…but if it doesn’t feel quite right to both of you, then I would nix it. Perhaps bring these three to the hospital to see which seems to fit best once she arrives?
