I am 26 weeks pregnant with our third daughter. My husband and I have always had difficulties deciding on a name we mutually like, but with this pregnancy it seems like the decision is even harder. I just want to give you a list of our top names, including his favorite (which I am unsure of), and my favorite (which he is unsure of). Let me know what you like, what you don%26#039;t like, if you think a name is too common, or uncommon for that matter, and any requests that you like but I have not mentioned. FYI, the middle name is going to be Lily or Lilah (after my husband%26#039;s Grandmother). Her Italian name is Lilah, and her American name is Lily. So we will use whichever goes best with the first name:
Mutual names we like:
Ella
Elly
Emma
Hanna
Makenna
Names my husband likes:
Ava (his favorite)
Anastasia
Brenna
Names I like:
Moya (Me and our 4 year old daughter%26#039;s favorite)
Aurora (Rory)
Delilah
Elody
Jocelyn
I want your input on these baby names!?
Ella
Elly
Emma
Hanna
Makenna
Out of those ^^ Makenna is too trailer-ish. It wouldn%26#039;t fit her as she gets older. Hanna is just a reminder to Hannah Montana (annoying!!) And Elly is more of a nickname.
I love Emma %26amp; Ella. But i would go with Emma, only because it would fit an adult, as well as a little girl. Ella might not.
Emma Lily is cute! Maybe Emma Lilith? Just a suggestion. : )
Ava (his favorite)
Anastasia
Brenna
Out of those ^^ i really don%26#039;t like Ava %26amp; Brenna. Brenna is similar to Makenna, won%26#039;t fit a sophisticated woman. I really hate the name Ava. Not only because its VERY common, its just, well not my taste. But when she starts school, she won%26#039;t be the only Ava. It also doesn%26#039;t flow with Lily or Lilah.
One word to describe Anastasia. BEAUTiFUL. Lol, but I really love the name. But depending where you live, culture, etc, it might be a little be too fancy. But its very pretty : )
Moya (Me and our 4 year old daughter%26#039;s favorite)
Aurora (Rory)
Delilah
Elody
Jocelyn
Moya %26amp; Elody aren%26#039;t very pretty, in my opinion. They both sound more of a nickname. Aurora reminds me of Sleeping Beauty . . Delilah is adorable %26amp; Jocelyn is cute too. If I had to choose between those two, it would probably be Jocelyn. It would fit both middle names you are thinking of, and it gives you more of a choice.
Ella Lilah
Emma Lily
Anastasia Lily
Delilah Lily
Jocelyn Lilah
Those ^^ are my top favorite!
A few suggestions:
Angeline Lily
Emmaline Lily (Em-ma-line)
Kerriana Lily (Carrie-ana) or Cariana
Bridget Lily or Bridgette
Aliana Lily (Ally-ana) or Allyana or Alliana
Emily Lilah
Melanie Lilah
Francesca Lily or Franchesca
Kelsey Lilah
Chelsea Lily
Renee Lilah
Megan Lily
Sorry I wrote so much, but I hope this helps!!
Congrats!!

Reply:Names I like:
Emma - overused, but still nice.
Ava
Names I dislike:
Ella and Elly seem more like nicknames to me.
Makenna is more like a surname.
Anastasia - reminds me of the Russian Duchess and it sounds a bit pretentious.
Aurora - Sounds pretentious also.
Delilah - I wouldn%26#039;t name my daughter after a Biblical femme fatale.
Elody - I%26#039;ve never heard of it before.
I hope I wasn%26#039;t too harsh, and congratulations.
Reply:I think that with the middle name you have chosen the first names won%26#039;t really flow that well. But I really like Ella, Emma, and Hannah for first names. Here are a few of my favorites: Victoria, Isabella, Sophia, Amanda, Natalie. Good luck and Congratulations!
Reply:I like all of your %26quot;mutual names%26quot; especially Ella or Elly..I like Ava but it seems like it is getting very common..out of the names you like, my favorites are Delilah and I love Elody...
Elody is my favorite out of all the names you have picked out..I have not heard it that much but is still a very pretty name. I%26#039;m not sure what you could use as her middle name though..maybe Elody Anastasia C...
..hope this helps
Reply:Oy, this makes it difficult for me to pick - I don%26#039;t really like any of them.
I guess the best would be Brenna. It doesn%26#039;t sound too little girl-ish like Elly, it%26#039;s not low-income like Makenna, and it%26#039;s not off the wall strange like Moya.
If the middle name is Lila or Lily, you really oughtn%26#039;t use Delilah, Ella, or Elly.
Mallory and Leanna are really nice names. I think Brenna would go well with them.
Reply:I like Elle. Not Ella or Elly.
I love Emma, gosh that%26#039;s my name I hope you pick it haha
I dont like Hanna or Makenna.
I love Ava... I dont really like Anastasia or Brenna
I dont like any of the names only you like.
My favorite out of all of them would have to be Ava or Emma. =)
Reply:Since her middle name will be either Lily or Lilah, I would stay away from her first name and middle name ending with the same sound. Like Ella Lily sounds good, but Ella Lilah doesn%26#039;t.
Names that sound good:
Emma Lilah
Emma Lily
Hanna Lily
Makenna Lily
Ava Lily
Jocelyn Lily
Jocelyn Lilah
Names to stay away from:
Ella
Elly
Anastasia
Brenna
Moya
Aurora
Delilah
Elody
Reply:Ava Lily is cute.
Makenna Lilah
Aurora I love!
Jocelyn is too popular right now.
Elody? No.
Delilah - too biblical, unless you%26#039;re going for that.
Just my opinions!
:o)
Reply:i like Ella and Elly..Ava is one of my favorite names...and i like Anastasia a lot.
i dont like Moya..like Aurora with the nickname Rory and dont really like Delilah, Elody or Jocelyn.

Reply:Ava is beautiful but she will have too many other Ava%26#039;s in school with her. Aurora is my second pick. And I love Jocelyn. But, those names will inevitably become %26quot;Rory%26quot; and %26quot;Joss.%26quot;
Reply:I like Ella/Elly, and Ava. Hanna reminds me of that horrible hanna montana and Delilah would probably subject the girl to forever having %26quot;Hey There Delilah%26quot; sung to her.
Reply:MUTUAL:
EMMA LILY

Reply:All the names you guys listed are very cute. But also becoming extremly common. I would go with one of the names that you liked because they are not as common, and still very cute.

Reply:My favorite is Makenna. I really don%26#039;t like Anastasia or Delilah.
Reply:I love Ava...
Don%26#039;t do hannah in this day of Hannah montana...
I love Aurora too.
Reply:the third group of names..dont like.
first group...alright.
second...best but only really like ava.
Reply:I love Emma...how about Emily? My friend%26#039;s name is Emily Lillian and I love her name...
Reply:ella or emma
Reply:that is hard i like most of them.
Reply:I teach young children and I can say for the sake of your child PLEASE do not name her Ava, Emma, Hanna or Makenna. She will be (insert name) C. She will never be the only one. If multiple kids have her last name initial, they will call her by her last name. It%26#039;s horrible, I know.
I LOVE Brenna and Moya. Moya doesn%26#039;t look pretty written but I like how it sounds. Elody and Ella are beautiful but I would worry that someone thought it was already her nickname. We had that problem a lot when I did insurance customer service.
In conclusion. I like Brenna Lilly the best followed by Moya Lilly and Elody Lilly. I don%26#039;t think the middle name goes well with Ella. Just my opinion though. I think the little girls names are all lovely and I%26#039;m sure she will carry her name well.
Reply:Mutual names we like:
Ella - very common right now, might sound like too much alliteration with Ella Lily
Elly - sounds like a nickname by itself, short for Eliza or Elizabeth
Emma - very common
Hanna - very common
Makenna - my favorite from your list and the only one that I think sounds good with middle name Lily
Names my husband likes:
Ava (his favorite) - I think the name is in the top 5, super common
Anastasia - love it
Brenna - don%26#039;t like it, sounds like Brenda to me
Names I like:
Moya (Me and our 4 year old daughter%26#039;s favorite) - very different, sounds older
Aurora (Rory) - one of my favorites! love Rory
Delilah - I really like it
Elody - very interesting, very heard it. This is one you could use Elly for short
Jocelyn - love it
So my favorites from your lists are:
Makenna Lily
Anastasia Lily
Aurora Lily
Jocelyn Lily
Congratulations and best of luck to you! :o)
Reply:Mutual names we like:
Ella: This is getting very common
Elly: This would be a cute nn for something longer like Emmeline. I would go with Lilah.
Emma: VERY popular
Hanna: Nice, but kind of bland.
Makenna: There are a bunch of McKenna%26#039;s,McKenzie%26#039;s and McKayla%26#039;s right now.
Names my husband likes:
Ava (his favorite): Very pretty but the fastest growing girls name.
Anastasia: I like this w/ Lily nickname Anna.
Brenna: This is what I would name my kid if I had a second daughter but I%26#039;m not sure it works Lily or Lilah.
Names I like:
Moya: I%26#039;ve never heard this before.
Aurora: Pretty, but again not sure if it works with the middle names.
Delilah: Lily or Lilah would sound repeatitve.
Elody: I don%26#039;t like this one.
Jocelyn: I would pair this one with Lily too.
My pick would be Anastasia Lily or if you liked it Emmeline Lilah.
Reply:Moya Lilah
Makenna Lily
Aurora Lilah
Jocelyn Lilah
Hanna Lily
Brenna Lilah
Emma Lily (love it!!!)
I dont think that the other names flow well with your middle name options. They are all very beatiful, though
Reply:I would count out Ella - I love it but there are two many %26#039;l%26#039;s%26#039; all in a row with either middle name. Ava is one of my favourite names, it%26#039;s beautiful. I%26#039;m from England and Aurora is a chain of hotels (Rory is an unpopular boys name) so I wouldn%26#039;t go with that. Emma is cute and your other two have gorgeous names so I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ll come up with a nice one.
So personally Ava or Emma are the best.
Delilah? - listen to the song by Tom Jones (not good) - also with a longish surname sticking to two syllables or less would probably sound better
I
Reply:Ella - very pretty but a little plain
Elly - absolutely love this as a nickname - how about short for Eleanor/Elinor/Isabelle or if you%26#039;re going on the Italian theme how about Eulalia Lily or Eulalie Lilah? (pronounced el*ay*lee*(a))
Emma - very classic name, very pretty - a little too common perhaps
Hanna - prefer it spelled with the h on the end, a little plan
Makenna - don%26#039;t like this one at all sorry - how about Michaela? that has the same sort of sound but is much more traditional - can also be spelled Mikayla but that spelling looks too made up in my opinion.
Ava - very pretty I think but not my favourite
Anastasia - wow, awesome name! I think I%26#039;d like growing up with this name
Brenna - yuck, sorry!
Moya - again, don%26#039;t like this name at all. it sounds rather ugly and sour to say...sorry to offend but just trying to be honest!
Aurora - this is my favourite of all the ones you%26#039;ve said! Especially with the nickname Rory - this one is one of the tops in my list for my own baby, especially after Gilmore Girls I always wanted a baby Rory and Aurora is SUCH a lovely name - pick this one! Aurora Lily...gorgeous.
Delilah - Delilah Lily sounds lovely too...wow what a pretty girl these last two names bring to mind!
Elody - mmm lovely. Elody Lilah. That%26#039;s so exotic but not too out there - beautiful.
Jocelyn - sorry but I%26#039;ve always hated this name - no real reason just personal opinon!
I would say Aurora Lily, Delilah Lily, or Elody Lilah would be the best - these are truly GORGEOUS names - Anastasia Lily or Ava Lily following a close second!
