We’re not expecting yet. But, it took until the day after our daughter was born to decide on [name]Gabrielle[/name] so I decided I better get started with the next one before he/she is on the way! I had name regret until she was about 6 months old which I would love to somehow avoid with number two. It’s such a huge decision and my taste is all over the place!
Our little girl’s name is [name]Gabrielle[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]. [name]Amelia[/name] was the middle name from the beginning as it was my great grandmother’s middle name.
Here are other names we considered with reasons we didn’t choose:
[name]Caitlin[/name] - too popular with the many spellings
[name]Sarah[/name] - too plain to me, husband loved
[name]Catherine[/name] - common and didn’t care for some nicknames
[name]Harper[/name] - seemed trendy
[name]Savannah[/name] - husband didn’t like
[name]Lorelei[/name] - husband didn’t care for
[name]Gretchen[/name] (gg’s 1st name) - people think it’s too harsh - also a country singer with that name has our last name as well
If we have another girl, I feel we need something feminine like [name]Gabrielle[/name]. I like the idea of a name ending in “ette” but I can’t find one I like. I also love nicknames so any name with lots of choices, I like. For a girl middle name, I love [name]Matilda[/name] (grandmother’s middle) and [name]James[/name] (father’s first - hubs hates this idea because it’s a male name).
For a boy, I love strong and traditional names like [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Gaines[/name]. My husband thinks those sound snobby (which I see no problem with). It seems like a boy would be easier to name but it’s probably because I haven’t had to do it yet. 
Any suggestions are appreciated!!
Would your husband go for [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Jaime[/name]? [name]How[/name] does he feel about [name]Nathan[/name], or [name]Maxime[/name] ([name]Max[/name]). The later’s more traditional with a current nn
I like [name]Matilda[/name] [name]James[/name] but can’t really just [name]Matilda[/name] as a first. My dog’s name is [name]Hailey[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] and I often call her [name]Tilly[/name] and [name]Tilda[/name]. I wasn’t planning on having children when I named her or I wouldn’t have use [name]Matilda[/name] for her at all. 
I personally don’t care for [name]Nathan[/name] but love [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Nate[/name]. A friend has a [name]Maddox[/name]/[name]Max[/name] but I do love that name!
The first names I thought of for you are [name]Juliet[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Colette[/name] [name]Matilda[/name]. Also, [name]Maud[/name] is another form of [name]Matilda[/name] so maybe you could use that instead.

love but can’t use:
[name]Elisabet[/name]/[name]Elisabetta[/name] - tons of Elizabeths in my family
[name]Camille[/name]/[name]Camilla[/name] - possibly my favorite ever but nephew is [name]Kameron[/name] (yes, with a K…) too similar, right?
[name]Emmeline[/name] - neice named [name]Emily[/name], same problem
[name]Georgette[/name] - not sure I want to go with the feminine of a male name again, afraid it will get cheesy
[name]Henriette[/name] - same
[name]Nicolette[/name] - same
[name]Josephine[/name] - same
[name]Eugenie[/name]/[name]Eugenia[/name] - same
Like and added to my list:
[name]Violette[/name] - adorable, like [name]Violet[/name] spelling better
[name]Alisanne[/name] - never heard of it but my mom’s name is [name]Alisa[/name] so I like 
[name]Lucinda[/name] - my dad LOVES [name]Lucy[/name] so a neat way to get there besides [name]Lucille[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] - like the nn [name]Viv[/name], sounds so hip
[name]Miranda[/name] - this always ends up on my lists but can’t commit

I don’t think [name]Camille[/name] is too similar to [name]Kameron[/name]. But hey, it’s your choice! And I absolutely love [name]Violet[/name]. I’d go with that one if I were you.
Some suggestions:
Ariette/[name]Arietta[/name] ( I think this is so pretty)
I also love [name]Juliet[/name] or [name]Julietta[/name] as well
A name I think would be beautiful with [name]Gabrielle[/name] is [name]Viviana[/name].
[name]Camille[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] doesn’t seem too close to a cousin by the name [name]Kameron[/name]. A brother, yes, but I think for cousins it’s fine.
I’m so excited you guys don’t think [name]Camille[/name] is too close to [name]Kameron[/name]. I also love [name]Camellia[/name] <3. As I typed it, I realize it has the word “camel” in it, but I’m not offended by that. Camellia James is adorable to me. We couldn’t call her Cam because Kameron is called Kam. I tried to get my sister to call him Ron but that didn’t catch on, lol.
Juliet
Camellia
Camille
Violet
Vivienne
Arianna (Aria)
I think those are my tops…today. Ha! Knowing me, I’ll completely change directions before we’re even expecting.
I love [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Camellia[/name] and [name]Vivienne[/name]! And [name]Cam[/name] isn’t the only nickname for [name]Camellia[/name]. I love [name]Mel[/name]/[name]Melly[/name]; you could also use [name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Amy[/name] or even [name]Lili[/name] (lee-lee). Your nephew [name]Kameron[/name] doesn’t make this beautiful name unusable!
I never thought of [name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name] for [name]Camellia[/name]! I considered those nicknames for [name]Gabrielle[/name] but [name]Gabi[/name]/[name]Gabby[/name] (still haven’t decided on spelling) stuck.
