Just a quick question- are either you or your husband from India? Have you ever been there? If not, sorry to say but it sounds incredibly pretentious to name your child that.

[applesauce]

what about Dolly Snow? it's definitely a name with a tie to American history (Dolly Madison) and is also uncommon but not unheard of.

[lilmzstardust]

Brielle or Juniper?

Ellery- I vetoed this one because it doesn't seem feminine enough to me, it's a little bit ambiguous.

DH and I are not from India, nor have we visited (Although I would if the opportunity came up!) I don't think it's pretentious to name a baby India, it's actually a name that was popular during the civil war (ranked between 300 and 500 from what i've read). It's not like i"m naming her Bangledesh, or Latvia, India has a history of being used as a name.

Brielle- I love it! Dh hates it. That was one of his vetoes.

Good news! DH and I Agreed on another name to add to the list: Islie/Isley. I can't decide which spelling I prefer, any suggestions? I think it's actually a surname? Anyone know?

Anyone have any suggestions that don't begin with I?
