Hello Berries!

After all your input (which I appreciated SO much), my husband and I decided to name our little girl who was born on 5/27 Grace Ellen! Although not the majority winner in my polls,...

We just named our little girl Grace...

All along while I was pregnant I said "No names in the top 100", but the last three or four weeks I was pregnant I just couldn't stop thinking about it and...

Thanks svea! :)

I think we have narrowed down a top three for our personal favorite today after everyone's votes and comments:

(in no special order)
Eliza Jane
Grace Ellen
Rose Victoria
...

I think Anabelle Grace is so pretty! I also like Aria Grace - very lovely!

I agree that Sophia Grace gets my vote out of the three! Second choice is Ruby :)

What about
Ruth or Jane (which I kind of think can give a similar feel to Ruby)

Vic - I had not really considered two middle names! I will have to give that some thought and see how my husband feels about it too! I appreciate your suggestions! :)

esrever88 - Thanks! I pretty...

Saraallison - thank you! Yes, Ellen is my mom's middle name (Jane Ellen) and my Aunt who passed was Mary Ellen so it would honor both women which I think makes it special. I think your top three are...

Thanks for your input niteowl13 - I can see what you mean by Grace and Ellen possibly flowing together, something to consider for sure!

Beachykeen18 - so interesting about the popularity...

Oh lorijohnson - what great suggestions! I hadn't thought that far ahead - but I do love grace and rose as a sib set! I will have to mention this to my husband! Thanks!

Thank you too justskinandbone! I have liked Maren for a long time - it is so hard to choose! :)

Thanks ashthedreamer and erinlw! I appreciate your thoughts and opinions - helps me to not be so worried about popularity!

Thanks for your reply Rollo! I truly have begun to love Grace! It is probably tied with Eliza Jane as my favorite!

And thanks everyone who voted so far!

Hi Berries -

First, thanks in advance for all your help over the last months! I have loved hearing your thoughts and suggestions. Posting on these boards and reading others ideas has opened me...

What about Lucinda? I think it is such a pretty name and would for sure get you to Lulu!

Vivienne Charles gets my vote as well, I think the very girly feel of Vivienne sets off Charles as a middle name :)

I think Collins on a girl is very cute! (And I am not one to like uni-sex names!) Maybe it is because of the movie, but I do picture it on a girl, and it seems like a very southern name on a girl...

I think Eva is so cute and pretty - just the opposite of Martha (but that is based off of only personal opinion on the only Martha I know! I am sure some people think the name Martha is great, just...

I am sure for a celebrity baby Maxwell on a girl can work! I am not a personal fan of it though! All I can think of is Maxi-Pad, when I hear Maxi for the nickname! Not a great association for me! ...

I really like Maren a lot, it is on our short list of names for our baby girl due in a few weeks. I like it because it is uncommon, but still accessible. Different, but not so much so that it is...

Since Margo is a diminutive of Margaret - and Margaret means Pearl, you could use Pearl as a nickname!

Also, Meg, MiMi are possibilities!

I also like Ellison with Campbell together! Good luck! :)

bluebery1215 - some other great nickname options in Lulu and Zia :) Thanks! I am feeling more optimistic about being able to avoid the Liza/Liz nickname! thanks! :)

maris0416 - Thanks for you...

I love all the alternate suggestions everyone has given...but I agree, if none of those alternates thrill you and you hate that name, you absolutely can not use it. You can't name a precious child...

makeupbyjanine - Yes, I think we could have some kind of pet name that might just come about naturally that wouldn't be related to her name at all. Someone else commented that sometimes those...

Caroline-cara - Thanks for your thoughts! You know I hadn't thought yet of the L's in Charlotte and Lynn running together, but now that you mention it, I definitely see that!

Clarieelise - you...
