Hellobee Boards

My vote's for Eleanor but I'm biased because Eleanor Grace was on my short, short list when I went into labor (but I ended up having a boy).

Felicity is my favorite!! If you named her Eleanor or Josephine would there be a nickname, or would you only call her by her full name?

I love all of those!! I voted Josephine but I think they are all great names!

I love Felicity the most followed closely by Eleanor and Josephine Great choices!

Eleanor. I like Felicity too, but it's my SIL's name so I tend to associate it with her rather than a baby.

Felicity is my all time favorite, but DH has said no, so I encourage others to use it. I also love Josephine and we actually named our dog that! We call her Josie. I sort of wish we had saved that name for a human member of our family b/c I've come to love it a whole bunch, too.

I like both Felicity and Josephine but voted for Felicity, its on my current short list if we have another baby.

I voted for Felicity - I haven't thought of that name in sooo long (which I always think is a good sign, means it's not overused), but I absolutely love it!

I love that 3 of these names are American Doll names! (Well josefina and Josephine are close!) It would be so much fun to get LO a namesake doll and the book series!

Eleanor or Felicity!

Honestly, my daughter has one of the currently getting more popular classic girl names. I was all frazzled about it before because of it being "too popular" but honestly... I love the name. It fits her and I don't regret it. Just pick what you love!

I voted Josephine!

I like Josephine because it's one of my best friends name!

Samantha is my all-time favorite name. I named my first cat Samanatha. Unfortunately I didn't have a girl and my last name starts with Ma so it's sounds funny. : ( (Sam, Sammy...all good nicknames!)

Congrats on the girl! My question would be this--do you like all these names' nicknames? All your names seem very similar (in a good way) -- classic, traditional, 3 or 4 syllables, strong sounding but feminine. However, I could see some winning out over others based on your nickname preferences. If there are some with nicknames you really dislike, I'd rule them out (you have so many good choices). And I wouldn't worry too much about popularity because all of the names you've chosen are fairly classic. Eleanor hasn't cracked the top 100 and Josephine hasn't cracked 150. Felicity is still dreaming of the top 500. Samantha is the highest ranking one, as she's in the top 50.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: you totally just described me!

I voted for Samantha because that's my name and I love it. Sam is actually one of my favourite boy names. But really, I like Felicity the best of the 4 you listed and I think Eleanor is getting too popular!
