So, I'm only 15 weeks and not sure if I'm having a girl or boy yet but have a list of boy names we love so we're fine if it ends up being a boy.
Girl names, not so much. 
Our DD is Marlowe if that gives you an idea of what sort of names we like. Our DS is Cooper.
Now, suggest some names! Seriously - we need heeeeelp over here.

And it goes without saying that this will no doubt be a girl since we literally have like 5 boy names we love and would happily use.

@avivoca: My mom had a student named clover a few years ago! Super sweet little girl.

@avivoca: Clover is actually cute. Unfortunately anything cutesy is an automatic no for DH haha. I also LOVE Addison but we haven't put it on the list because of popularity. Maybe we should get over it and put it on there.
@LuLu Mom: I like Amara! Emerson is a great name but DH's sister is Emma. Maybe it's not too similar? My sister called dibs on Hadley...sigh!

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Delia reminds me of one of my favorite names from before - Adelia! Was just worried about whether it would be easily pronounced.

@coopsmama: Here are some more from daycare: Quinn, Ashlyn, Abilene, Gloria, Josephine, Georgia.
I like Clover too, and I don't think it's too cutesy.

@coopsmama: our ds is cooper! both your kids' names are great. we liked camille or clementine for a girl.

I'm going to sit down with DH and read him ALL of these names tonight haha!
cantaloupe / 6059 posts
@LindsayLou: My cousin just had an Aveline which is sad because I love it! (At least someone used it!) Linden I'm drawn too...hmmmm.
@Mrs. Champagne: I was actually contemplating Willa in the shower this morning! And Harper I like a lot but again, so popular. 
DH nixed Poppy already...he clearly has no taste!
@avivoca: Why hadn't I thought of Quinn?! I've always liked that name.
@wrkbrk: Hooray for Coopers! It's a good name. I think Clementine is super cute but again DH would absolutely nix it.

I don't have any names off the top of my head but will think about it. I really just wanted to say I got all excited when I saw the title of this post and thought you had found out! 
I love your kids' names - Marlowe is a great name!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@coopsmama: I have a friend who has a Harlow and an Amara, so i figured it was close to your daughter's name!
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
@coopsmama: Linden was always on our list, nickname Lindi!
wonderful pea / 17279 posts
@coopsmama: Adelia is nice. Do you pronounce it with four syllables A-de-li-a or three A-deel-ya?
persimmon / 1233 posts
Some that I will never get to use because I had two boys and we're done!
Simone
Sloane
Blake

My DD's name is Marlowe so we have similar taste 
some other names on my list:
-Eden
-Quinn
-Francesca (nickname Frankie)
-Wren
-Willa (but it's my cousins name so we wouldn't have used)
-Sloane
Hmm I'll try to think of the others that made the list!
clementine / 928 posts
@coopsmama: I think PP suggestions of Maeve, Willa, and Quinn work really well with your subset!

@Pirouette: I wish!! Unfortunately, not for probably another month.
@Applesandbananas: Oh my gosh, I was thinking Rory could be a cute nickname for Aurora and then I looked it up and saw it means "red head" which is what all of my kids have been so far. That could work!
@2PeasinaPod: Claire is beautiful!
@deerylou: I love Della, actually. Hmmm.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: A deel ya like Amelia with a D.
@hummusgirl: Sloane has actually bounced on and off our list throughout all three pregnancies!
@QBbride: Oh so fun! How old is your Marlowe? Mine is 19 months now.
@fussygal: @agold: That is cute but I'm really trying to avoid another M name simply because we may have a fourth and if we had another girl (hypothetically 3 girls then) I wouldn't want to feel like it had to be another M name. 
@mrschickpea: Okay, so after starting this thread, I'm really liking Quinn. BUT I just remembered that a good friend of mine is due to give birth within the next few weeks and she told me her little girl's middle name would be Irish Gaelic which Quinn totally is. She said her husband's objection was that it sounded a bit foreign even though she said it is pronounced exactly how it looks. So I'm nervous that maybe, just maybe, the MN is Quinn because I don't think I could use it if so.

Looove Willa with C and M. I can't wait to hear your pick because you know we have the same taste in names
ETA. I want to know your boy picks!!
grapefruit / 4823 posts
@coopsmama: I have an Aurora, nn Rory, and she's a flaming red head haha
I was going to suggest Aurora, because I think it goes well with the other names(and I love Marlowe, and if we had another it would be on the list)

These both feel like last names as first names to me. Did you use family names? Have you considered using your maiden name?
cantaloupe / 6059 posts
@GrapeCrush: I told DH about Aurora nn Rory and he agreed that he likes it! So it's going on the list!
@mrschickpea: See above.
@Mrs. D: My kids have traditional family names as middle names but their firsts are just ones we liked - Marlowe is the name of a girl DH went to college with and we liked the name and Cooper is from Mad Men. Haha! My maiden name is decidedly very much boy so it wouldn't work for a girl but at any rate my cousin named his first son using my maiden name because it was his mother's maiden name, too.

@Synchronicity: Will wall you what will likely end up as the boy pick.

@coopsmama: I see, ok..... how about:
Audry
Gwendolyn
Hazel
Mabel
Rosalie
Naomi
Sadie

@coopsmama: I would love if our thirds had the same name! Go team Rory!
cantaloupe / 6059 posts
@erinpye: It totally is. It's definitely top 10 for me, but DH is very non committal.
@oliviaoblivia: I hadn't even thought of that! Do you call her Rory? Has anyone said anything about the name being too Sleeping Beauty-esque? I really don't want to saddle any of my kids with a name that makes people go "oh, like _____?" That already happens a bit with M - everyone (in the older generation) always says "oh like Marlo Thomas?!" and it makes me happy that no one in her generation will even know who that is.
