I'm due in December with DH amd my first and we're team green. We have 2 sets of boy names we love and 2 girl first names (Cora and Leah) but we can't settle on the middles. (We also really like Hannah but I've always thought of it as my 2nd daughter's name.)
Anne and Marie are family names and Jade is just a favorite.
Other names we like but don't seem to fit are Violet, Veda, Ivy, and Lena.
Our last name is 4 letters and starts with Co.
Help! Any other names you think would fit?

I like Cora Anne or Cora Marie! They're both very classic, but I don't think Jade fits quite as well as it seems more modern to me.

@nana87: Very true about Jade being more modern! I hadn't looked at it that way. Thanks!

I like Leah alot and think Hannah goes very well with it.
Just cause you like Jade so much I chose Leah Jade in your poll.

I voted Leah marie, I like the name Cora better, but with your last name starting with Co I didn't know the flow, or if would come off like Co Co?

I think both first names sound great with Marie as a middle name. I think you should go in with both and decide which one when you look at the baby (if it's a girl).

It seems like Cora would be a little repetitive with your last name. I'd opt for a different first name. I voted Lea Jade since it sounds pretty, and Anne and Marie are both extremely popular names (I feel like Marie must be the most popular middle name ever!)

I voted Cora Jade! I filled in my own version of your last name and I didn't mind the Cora Co--
Eta: unless your last name is Cola. Hahaha

@birdofafeather: Hah, it's not Cola but it is a different name (and spelling) for a hot chocolatey beverage!
@Foodnerd81: We're planning to go in with two sets for a girl and two for a boy. Never know what they'll look like!
@PawPrints: Haha, Marie is my mom's middle name. And I agree, it's so popular!

I love Cora Jade! Jade is more modern, but Cora really seems like it came out of nowhere from back in time and is now getting pretty popular. (Thanks, Downton Abbey! 
) In the end they may both sound modern.

I like Cora Jade.
I don't like the two A's together in Cora Anne. I also don't like Leah Anne because together it could sound like Leanne.
