    I would have LOVED Eleni, such a pretty name, but there are 6 ppl in DF's family named Eleni.

    We cant use Ileana, Ekaterina either

    Eleni means Helen which is my mothers name, I would have loved it, Eleni just has a beautiful sound to it. But yes, in DF's family too many people

    Thanks Everyone!

    We were on the baby name sites looking at Greek names, but you know sometimes a name sounds nicer if you hear it from someone else ... iykwim?

    We did like Sofia, but is too popular now

    I LOVE Marika, it's so cute and sweet. I also love Xanthe (we called our daughter Xanthe, pronounced Zan thee) and it is greek for golden.

    My girls are Maria and Sofia, other greek names in my circle of friends are Zoe, Amelie, Ava, Stella and Eleanna. I know how you feel though there are so many Sofia's around now, not so much Maria though. I am really stuck if this baby is a girl as well.
