DH and I finally narrowed down our list of first names to two. Now, we need to think about middle names for each option (we'll probably make the final name decision after she's born).
The two "finalists" are: Audrey and Natalie
Thoughts on middle names? We're pretty "classic" people and currently my list includes: Marie, Grace and Lynn. But I'd like more options for each name. And our last name starts with "B" (just to keep in mind for any unfortunate initials or monograms!).

Love the name Audrey! What about Audrey Rose? I'm biased because Rose is my LO's name, but I've seen it on lots of middle names and I love it!

ohh your names are beautiful! I stink at putting together names. do you have any special ones in your family you'd like to use? for instance, we were thinking Leigh (lee) for my mom (leeann) but first name Emma.. sounds silly.
We're also thinking Anne or Elizabeth.

I think Grace goes really well with both of those first names. I like classic names for middle names. If we have a boy the middle name will probably be Paul (my husband's grandfather) and if it's a girl the middle name will be Elizabeth (my middle name and my mother's) or Mary (husband's grandmother) depending on which sounds better with whatever first name we pick.

I like Natalie better than Audrey, obviously. I think Natalie is so cute.

I like "Audrey Elaine" and agree with Artbee that Rose goes well with either of those names.

Grace is my favorite "classic" middle name, and one we will probably use. If you wanted a longer name, I really like the sound of both Natalie Elizabeth and Audrey Elizabeth. For a short middle name, I love Mae/May, and it goes nicely with both names you have picked. I really love the name Natalie, but it sounds bad with our last name.

@daniellemybelle: Elizabeth was also one of my thoughts.
I'm leaning more toward Audrey, but don't know which one DH prefers. I was just happy we both liked 2 names!
@sorrycharlie: Our neighbor girl is Emmaleigh. By doing Leigh as the middle name, that might take care of your naming issue (she'll kind of have a long name with a "nickname".
Thanks for the ideas ladies!
