So we're having a 
, yay! But we'd already chosen a boy name, which is not obsolete 
This is our running girl list so far! What's your favorite?
Grace is a family name, and it's D's non-negotiable requirement 
Ideally we'd like to stay out of the Top 10, and DS is Evan Charles McKnight. Suggestions welcome!

I'm partial to Stella (LO is Stella), but you've got some lovely names on your list! I would love to use Hazel some day, but DH doesn't like it.

Grace Catherine. So classic and pretty. I also think it goes best with your DS's name. I love Stella too, but don't think it goes as well with his name.

Loooove Stella Grace!! My cousin named her daughter Stella, so it's out for us.

I love Hazel Grace - but it is the main character's name in The Fault in our Stars. I also LOVE the name Estelle. It is at the top of my list for a very hypothetical future DD.

I love Hazel Grace! But, is that the main character in The Fault in Our Stars? Would it bother you if it is?
You also have Grace Catherine up there twice which makes me think you extra love that one
I love Grace as a first or middle.

Oooh I love a lot of these! I voted Beatrice but that was a close call with Eloise and Hazel up there too for me. LO is a Rosalie, which I like more than Rosalyn

This was super hard for me to choose as I really love your style! Grace Catherine was what I voted for, but I love the name Stella and Estelle. You could do Estelle Grace and use Stella as her nickname if you like it and can't decide. Love them all though!

Grace Catherine! It flows so nicely and Evan & Grace sound beautiful together.

I like Hazel Grace, too, but I also immediately thought of TFIOS.
I voted for Eloise. I like Evan and Eloise together!

@CakeLady: @Foodnerd81: I know I read that book, but I didn't remember that it was her name! D's great aunt was named Hazel, so he added it to the list

I love Stella! Hazel is also cute. What about Sophie Grace? Or Coralie (Cora) or Larkin?

Your list is so dreamy! I voted for Eloise, but I also like Grace Catherine, Hazel Grace (yes it's the name of the girl from the book, but I don't think anyone will remember that in a few years), Beatrice and Edith! Edie and Evan? So sweet! Now I wish I had voted for Edith actually. I'm so excited for you!

Honestly, I love all of them! I don't think you can go wrong. I picked Beatrice because I thought that was sweet and different, but again, they're all really nice choices!

Oh man great list! I'm partial to Ro$alyn since that is DD's name BUT! I adore Lucille and Beatrice. Grace Catherine is also quite lovely and classy. I voted for Grace Catherine as I think it complements Evan well.
ETA- do you pronounce Ro$alyn as rose a Lyn or roz a Lyn? We say roz a Lyn.

I like all of your choices, but the Hazel Grace thing would bother me because of the book. I really like the name, though. I picked Stella Grace, mainly because I'm not a huge fan of naming sibling sets with the same first letter. I don't know why it bugs, me, but it does.
I also really like @Mrs. Lemon-Lime's suggestion of Valerie!
admin / watermelon / 14210 posts
the only one i would hesitate on is stella because it seems to be really popular around here. all beautiful choices!

I'm torn between Stella and Hazel, I love them both! And I like it if you did Grace first and either of these as a middle name!

Grace Catherine was my vote! So classic. Grace and Evan are great together.

You have such lovely choices! I love Grace Catherine the best but also Stella Grace, Rosalyn Grace, and Eloise Grace.

@lovehoneybee: I have had two friends choose Rosalyn recently and I like it! Also, I love Beatrice nn Bea (it was on our girl name list)!

Such great choices!! I love Hazel. I also like Stella, but I don't think it goes well with Evan. I like someone else's suggestion of Violet, so pretty!! Rosalyn is great too, nn Rosie, so cute! I can't decide. Haha.

OMG, Estelle! I love it so much!
Also love Eloise and Beatrice.
I also love Hazel, but it's climbing up in popularity quickly which is why I didn't choose it.

Hazel Grace sounds so good together. I think I have heard this combo used a lot lately.
I voted Stella because that was our front runner too.
I've always like Eloise, but I am not sure I like it with Grace?
ETA: Estelle/Estella with the nn Stella? That way you get to use two names off your list
