What do you think? And any other ideas?

I like Annika Beth and Annika Saige

Thanks Pandora - I really like both those... but DH doesn't like either () fussy man huh!

So i'm still confused. both my sis's like Ivy over Fae.
I'm leaning towards Ivy or Willow. It's just it makes our family look like rabid Buffy fans if we use both Xander and Willow hahaha!

Any other suggestions pretty please?

I like fae or ivy, take your sisters thoughts out of the equation it's only you and dh that matter!!

Well I really love the Names Zahli and Sky! I think I said those before.
Also Sage and Dawn are lovely names too!

A friend Of mine had a bub and named her Willow and one of my best friends names is Willa. I think they are both beautiful names.
Good luck

Oh noes! I've just googled Annika + our last name... and there already is one!!! She's a 30yo in the UK. This is a major stumbling block for me, as I really wanted her to be unique!

I'd almost talked myself into Ivy as a mn...but now I have NO idea!!

Maybe I shouldn't let this matter... but I've always had a unique name and I loved it. I wanted my little girl to be the same! My DS's name is unique, but there's a few floating around with hubbies firstname/surname combo.

[-Willow-]

I'm biased for Willow....haha. But not sure if tht'd work as a middle name.

I think whatever you go with you need to LOVE. As for nickname i think people will shorthen or lengthen anything.

Seth to Sethy, Annika to Ne-ka - if you know what i mean, so thats really a tricky one.

If you use initials regulary i think it's something to concider, if not then as long as it's not rude, cruel or nasty anything goes.

Good Luck.

hehe I had to laugh when I saw your username, I wondered if you'd be suggesting Willow

I agree that people will shorten or lengthen anything and at the end of the day, we've gotta go with something we love. It's funny, the poll is now 20 in favor of Fay to 10 for Ivy. But I think we're going for Ivy anyway (rebels without a cause, that's us ).

Thanks!
