If it's too similar to Nolan, then maybe Joelle (nickname Jojo). I think they're feminine, but not overly so. </p> <p>I like all the girl names on your list above though! Olivia was a top choice, but too popular so I made it DD's middle name.</p> <p>I also love some names mentioned already that are feminine, but lean unisex - Arden, Sloane, Parker. I also like James/Jamie for a girl name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795299 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 19:20:31 +0000 Alba4 2795299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Arden? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795271 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 14:35:11 +0000 lady baltimore 2795271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Wren, Elodie, or Bronwyn? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795255 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 13:18:27 +0000 avivoca 2795255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like a lot of the ones on your list, but I also wanted to suggest Briony. It's unusual but still very pretty and I think it's a strong name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795251 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 12:41:13 +0000 PinkElephant 2795251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might not fit hubby's "girly" criteria, but I know several little girls named Brin/Brynn/Brynne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795242 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 12:03:16 +0000 Alba4 2795242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite girl name is Thea and I would have lobbied hard for it had we had a girl! To go with Nolan, I like Dahlia, Hannah, Vivian, Liana, Josephine (Josie), and Keira. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795173 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 00:06:12 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2795173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: I’m a family photographer and have come across SO MANY little Olivias. Maybe it’s just popular in my area, but it’s like every other little girl I meet practically! Can’t wait to hear what name you choose. Is Reese your name? That’s what we’re naming our baby girl coming next month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2795164 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 22:57:09 +0000 missyoori 2795164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose Ella and Olivia--but girly names are my preference too, sorry!</p> <p>But I know the struggle! We had boy names picked out since we started dating... and of course we have 3 girls now! It was a nightmare trying to name our kids because my husband vetoed every option I could come up with--he wanted a girly name that was nowhere near popular, but girly names were becoming trendy. When we finally came up with a name for our first (a week before the birth!), suddenly he also decided that all other daughters' names had to match (feminine-sounding, 3 syllables, ends in "a").</p> <p>With our second, we had Sophia picked out... until we personally knew 10 Sophia's born during the pregnancy. So that kid was almost born without a name too haha.</p> <p>With the current bun, I had locked away a name that he had agreed to 2 years prior. He didn't remember the name or agreeing to it, of course, but that was irrelevant--he agreed that one time! I was afraid he'd veto it, so I actually only told him what the name was at the beginning of my third trimester... in front of our kids so they would blab it to everyone and it couldn't be changed haha. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2794677 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:09:17 +0000 QBbride 2794677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I think your DH’s suggestions are too popular! Out of the names you posted, I like Sawyer the best. </p> <p>I think Rowan and Nolan are too similar. </p> <p>I love Willa! That’s my fave girls name (other than Marlowe haha! How about Marlowe?!) I also looove Wren. How about Finley for a girl? Or I know someone who named their daughter Halen and I really like it (but maybe too similar sounding to Nolan). I also like Poppy but it might not work with your last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2794586 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 13:47:15 +0000 Reese 2794586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: it’s not an option but I wish it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby/page/2#post-2794581 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 13:23:15 +0000 Truth Bombs 2794581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: Is Reese your name? If not, is that an option?

I love the name Stella and second Teagan that @CatchAFallingStar: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby#post-2794507 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 09:44:17 +0000 nana87 2794507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Ella more as a nickname than full name, like we have an Eleanor which I think is a stronger sounding name but one that has amazing nns; we call her Elsie but Ella, Elle, Ellie, Nell, Nellie, Nora, all would work too and she may change what she wants to be called when she’s older </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-our-baby#post-2794504 Tue, 02 Jan 2018 09:36:56 +0000 Dahlia 2794504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the E sound with Nolan.

We have similar naming taste. Our last name starts with a P so we are avoiding P names </p>
