    Hereby, I would like to say sorry for not reading the froum guidelines before posting and causing quite some problem here.
    I will take note of it and will never do the same mistake again.
    Thanks for reminding, Trillian.
    I believe that you are not purposely trying to mean or what. It's ok and I understand why you said that.
    Anyway, thanks to everyone.

    Phew, what a list! I'll just leave in the names I like.

    Helena - It seems a strong proud name, but still feminine
    Hope - Sweet, and I love the meaning
    Iris - Lovely
    Jenna - I think it's cute
    Juliet - Classic and beautiful
    Kate - Classic and sweet
    Laurel - Lovely
    Lucille - I love the name Lucy, but Lucille might flow better with a last name
    Morgan - I thought I didn't like it, but I didn't want to delete it. So maybe it's growing on me?
    Sage - One of my faves
    Sarah - It's a graceful sounding name
    Suranne - Soft and feminine
    Theresa - I think it's nice

    So there you go. If you decide to make your name choice based on what Nelle thinks (as every good parent should ), there's my opinion.
    All the best coming up with names, it can be tricky.

    Mama2two, I just want to let you know that Natasha didn't hide in the cupboard, her father imprisoned her in the basement for more than 20 years, raping her.

    Hailey - Cute, a little bit 80's but still aceptable
    Helena - 50 year old woman, dont see it working for child
    Hope - slightly westy but very pretty. could be teased and called hopeless
    Ingrid - LOVE IT, sophisticated and classic
    Iris - cute in that so old its new again way, very unusal
    Isabella - very very very very common. Izzy is a cute nickname though. I prefer Isabel
    Jade - sort of unstylish and dated. But I know a GORGEOUS Jade. I think it only bothers me as a middle name.
    Jean - nothing nice about it particularily
    Jenna - dated and harsh sounding. Genavieve is prettier. Pronounced with soft G sound.
    Juliet - she would get over the "wheres your romeo" comments
    Kate - I love it spelt Cate. But Kate looks better if you want to use Katie. Adorable.
    Kathleen - Older womans name that doesn't really work in 2009.
    Kathryn - I know a 5 year old Katherine and I dont think it suits her. Too old for her.
    Katie - LOVE IT. I think of a gorgeous little girl.
    Keira - Is this like Kirra? Or Keera? It seems a bit westy.
    Kristen - boring
    Laura - pretty, and intelligent
    Laurel - annoying and american
    Lena - Very unusual but pretty name
    Liliana - Game show host. lol. But could work for baby.
    Lindsey - Lohan?
    Louise - Doesnt suit small children. I know a few of them.
    Lucille - Ball?
    Margaret - I like nickname Maggie.
    Michelle - very 80s. Most Michelles are having their own kids now. shelly is ok I guess.
    Morgan - Very trendy. I think its adorable but would not actually do it.
    Natasha - had its day along with leg warmers and banarama.
    Nicole - see above.
    Quinn - Trendy. Not a pretty name, but sort of spunky.
    Ruby - Lovely. Cant go wrong with Ruby. Unless you spell it Rubi. Or Rubie
    Sage - I would usually think its a boys name. But thats not a problem really. Its sweet.
    Sarah - Means princess.
    Savannah - westy. american.
    Shannon - horrible.
    Shia - sort of made up. Prefer Leah or somthing.
    Sophie - Love it. Timeless and classy.
    Suranne - huh?
    Theresa - hate it.
    Trinity - too sci fi. You might live to regret it once you get over the matrix. I know, it is a real name, but everone will just think of the movie straight away.
    Victoria - I live there. Tori is nice.

    You better read this lol. took me long enough.

    Mama2two, I just want to let you know that Natasha didn't hide in the cupboard, her father imprisoned her in the basement ....
    Echidna, I'm pretty sure the Natasha that Mama2two is referring to isn't the one you're thinking of. Without going into much detail, this Natasha - an Australian - hid herself in a cupboard of her own free will for several years, emerging approx 5-6 (more?) years ago.

    Dunno that this will add anything to the chat about names - blame what my DH says is my "occasionally annoying habit of being too precise with details" .

    Isab3lle - I like Lena and Jenna, but only you will know what name is the right fit for your bub.

    Alison (I love Ally as a nn)

    Faith would be a lovely middle name for either Alison or Isabelle.

    Abigail: I love this name. Abi or Abby for short.
    Alison: Pretty, Ally for short.
    Angela: A little bit plain for me.
    Carmen: Sounds spanish, would she (bubs) have dark hair?
    Casie: is this Cassie or Casey? A bit plain for me.
    Ella: Beautiful. I really like it.
    Emma: Pretty
    Faith: Pretty and has a lot of meaning behind it
    Helena: Strong name
    Jade: Really great if bubs has green eyes.
    Juliet/Juliette: Classic beautiful
    Kristen: a bit plain for me.

    I really like the pretty sounding names, and other names will always be nice when put to a gorgeous baby, but as a name itself, some are a bit plain.

    Great work on narrowing your list down! Do you feel its getting easier now, to choose a name?
