Out of the names you’ve given, I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. But I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] even more.

I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is too similar to your other two girls. [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is pretty, but I think [name_f]Lila[/name_f] sounds better in your particular sibset. Your girl’s names are beautiful! Out of curiosity, what are the names your mother despises?

[name_f]Elaina[/name_f] is my favorite name, but it’s way too close to [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is my favorite!

All three are pretty, but are way too popular for my personal preference. (This may not bother you at all though. I just wanted to let you know, because my feedback is based off popularity.)

I know several [name_f]Lila[/name_f]'s and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]'s who are under 5. I also know too many [name_f]Elena[/name_f]'s, [name_f]Alaina[/name_f]'s, and [name_f]Elaina[/name_f]'s and too many children with names that start with E in general. Keep in mind the next disney princess has the name [name_f]Elena[/name_f] and that name is sure to explode in the coming years.

I chose [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] because it’s my favorite of the three even though I know quite a few [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]'s too. However, I prefer your middle [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] as a first because it’s not as common anymore. If it were me, I’d ask Grandma for a few more options.

Thank you. I told her they were too popular. However I do like [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]! Our three are:

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]West[/name_u]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]

loving [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]! However, I agree with a PP’s suggestion of [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] which would be very sweet :slight_smile:

I voted [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], but I prefer [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. I think your mom has great taste!

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is my individual favourite, which I find very elegant :slight_smile: But I picked [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] which I find more in keeping with the style of [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u].

Sorry but with respect I must say that I don’t think that any of those will work. [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f] is too close in sound to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]; [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] have too many -l sounds and aren’t pleasing to say together and [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] would make the E theme too cringeworthy for me personally.

I adore [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] out of your choices. It is spunky yet feminine and an all round happy name: divine!

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be my choice.

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is absolute perfection

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] by far.

Sorry, don’t like any of Gtandma’s choices because they don’t work with the other girls’ names.

[name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_u]West[/name_u] but it’d be too close to [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_u]West[/name_u].

I think [name_u]Jude[/name_u] would be great but [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] are pretty feminine in comparison.

I chose [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] from the poll.

Honestly, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]West[/name_u] hands down. [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] are all just kind of…blah. Been there, done that. Plus, [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] is wayyyyy too close to [name_f]Ella[/name_f].

Grandma’s choices are amazing. I honestly love all of them! I voted for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], but I prefer [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. From your choices I like [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] the most.

Grandma has lovely taste. The combos are great. I especially love [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]. That name is so pretty and elegant, very feminine without being frilly.

But. I think [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is a bit too much. I really think all grandmas options are less than ideal with your two girls. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] suits would suit the other two girls perfectly imo.
[name_u]Jude[/name_u] sounds great on a boy. Hard to picture on a little girl.

Thanks everyone! We are leaning towards [name_f]Nora[/name_f], however I should have specified that [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f] goes by her middle name. So it will be [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and new baby :slight_smile:

I voted [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f].

I also like the suggested [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f].

From your picks, I loved [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]!

None of them are really my style, but my top pick from them would be [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I sort of like [name_f]Elaina[/name_f], but ONLY if spelled [name_f]Elena[/name_f], personally.
