[name]Hi[/name] all! I’m new to nameberry, but think you ladies are very talented and am in desperate need of help. This is my first baby so I feel a lot of pressure with her/his name. I’m due in 2 weeks, and picking a girl name that we both love has proved to be very difficult. We’re not sure of the sex, but we already have a boys name picked out. Here is our list. [name]Feel[/name] free to comment, suggest and question! Thank you all for your help.
[name]Sylvia[/name] (nn [name]Sylvie[/name])- not a big fan with [name]Sylvia[/name] or [name]Sylvie[/name]
[name]Emery[/name] (family name)- ditto
[name]Katherine[/name] (nn [name]Kate[/name] - family name)- love the nn [name]Kate[/name]! Sweet and spunky but sadly very popular. [name]May[/name] bother you but if not, it’s a beautiful choice!
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Penny[/name])- [name]Love[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] but much prefer nn [name]Poppy[/name] or [name]Nell[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]- this is a very pretty name but it might hit a trend soon
[name]Annabel[/name]- love it, especially spelled [name]Annabelle[/name]
My favorites (in order) are [name]Annabelle[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] (with different nn) and [name]Katherine[/name].
[name]Sylvia[/name] (nn [name]Sylvie[/name]): not a big fan, although could grow on me
[name]Emery[/name] (family name): [name]Love[/name] it and think it’s adorable!
[name]Katherine[/name] (nn [name]Kate[/name] - family name): Great classic, timeless name
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Penny[/name]): Not a fan at all
[name]Violet[/name]: Cute, but I’m not brave enough to use it…reminds me of [name]Willy[/name] Wonka
[name]Annabel[/name]: GREAT, but getting popular
My favorite is [name]Emery[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name]. What about [name]Emery[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]? Has a new and trendy feel with a classic name balancing it out.
My faorites from your list are [name]Emery[/name] and [name]Kathrine[/name]. I think the nickname [name]Kate[/name] is addorable!!! I also like a previous poster’s suggestion of [name]Emery[/name] [name]Kathrine[/name]. [name]Emery[/name] [name]Kate[/name] would be cute too!
I agree that [name]Emery[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] is very pretty, even though [name]Emery[/name] isn’t my favorite name. I prefer [name]Sylvie[/name] alone rather than as a nickname for [name]Sylvia[/name], and what about [name]Phoebe[/name] instead of [name]Penelope[/name]?
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] is really cute!
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Penny[/name]): I really love the name [name]Penelope[/name], also love the nicknames [name]Nell[/name] and [name]Poppy[/name]. [name]Penelope[/name] feels perky and elegant to me.
[name]Violet[/name]: I think it’s a great name. I really love [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Katherine[/name].
[name]Annabel[/name]: I absolutely love this name, too!
[name]Sylvia[/name]-- I adore [name]Sylvia[/name]!
[name]Emery[/name]-- not a fan of surname names at all.
[name]Katherine[/name]–nice… [name]Kate[/name] is a little boring to me…
[name]Penelope[/name]-- I’ve never loved this name, but it’s nice
[name]Violet[/name]-- lovely
[name]Annabel[/name]-- I love this!
My favorites are [name]Sylvia[/name] and [name]Annabel[/name]!

I know these are all over the map, I don’t really know what our style is. - I think you have great taste that is eclectic.
[name]Sylvia[/name] (nn [name]Sylvie[/name])- I like [name]Sylvie[/name], [name]Sylvia[/name] less so.
[name]Emery[/name] (family name)- notto my taste- reminds me of emery boards!
[name]Katherine[/name] (nn [name]Kate[/name] - family name)- lovely, classic.
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Penny[/name])- one of my favourites- beautiful!
[name]Violet[/name]- like this a lot, great vintage feel
[name]Annabel[/name]- pretty
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Kate[/name] would be lovely!
[name]Sylvia[/name] (nn [name]Sylvie[/name]) - i think it’s a pretty name… personally i would never use it due to a childhood experience with a horrible old woman with that name… but it’s still a lovely name.
[name]Emery[/name] (family name)- i really like this one, but it seems to be getting really popular. two girls at work just used this name for their baby girls.
[name]Katherine[/name] (nn [name]Kate[/name] - family name)- i love love katherine.
[name]Penelope[/name] (nn [name]Penny[/name]) - i think penny is a cuuute nickname, but i’m not so much a fan of penelope… sounds like something i would name my cat…
[name]Violet[/name] - this is my favorite of your list… it’s so sweet and pretty.
[name]Annabel[/name] - definitely a close second. have a frend named annabel… have always been envious of her name… lol.
