No backstory. Too drained. A 4th option that is looking good at this point is "Little Girl Last Name."

Sawyer is my go to, but I like Blake and Blakely better than Camdyn. Blakely goes better with Harper than Blake if you were forced to choose one of those. Your husband is giving you a hard time this go round! (Mine too!)

I like Sawyer, but DS is named Blake so obviously I love that option too. I like Sawyer better for a girl, though.

@chopsuey: I love Blake Lively too! But, that's not my first association. It definitely has boy associations for me. Blake Lively's name could be Fartz and it wouldn't matter... she is perfection.

Sawyer first pick.
Blake second.
Blakely definitely last. Not a fan.

Blakely. I think it's cute!
Oh and to make you feel better my nephew is 5 days old and doesn't have an official name yet!

I like Blake and Sawyer. I voted Blake only because I like it better with your last name. Can't go wrong with either, though!

I voted for Blake. I think it's easier to say with your last name than Sawyer.

I guess I'm the odd ball but I LOVE Blakely! I think it's more feminine sounding than Blake, and just pretty and unique. I think it goes well with your last name too.

I like Blake, and I think it sounds more grown up than sawyer--sounds more professional.

I like Sawyer and Blake. I think Blake sounds best with your last name.
Not a fan of Blakely at all.

I really like sawyer! Not really a fan of Blakely and Blake for a girl will always make me think Blake Lively. Not a bad association, of course, I just personally wouldn't want a name that is so closely associated with someone else in my mind

Sawyer has always been one of my favorite names.
I like Blake. But I don't like Blakely.

I know two girl Blake's and 2 girl Sawyer's, I voted Sawyer because I love the name, but Blake is a close second. I'm not a fan of Blakely.

Blake YourLastName sounds really masculine. Beyond androgynous.
I voted Blakely, but Sawyer is still my fave, esp with your pick of middle name!

Blakely sounds like a made up adverb. They all sound like boy's names to me, too, but I prefer Sawyer Rose.

DH's cousin named her daughter Blakely, and it still has not grown on me
I chose Blake. I know another girl named Blake a little younger than me and I've always loved it

H is sick, home with fever and so I'm sorry I haven't replied individually!
Sawyer is still my fave...I don't hate Blake, but it just seems kind of vanilla? Like not a lot of personality or cuteness in that one syllable? And I slept on Blakely and it's def out.
I nixed Camdyn, in case anyone knew I was considering that. I changed the pw to my work iPad to Camdyn last week and so I had to type it in 13 million times a day and it became obvious very quickly that it just wasn't a name I wanted to deal with soooo much:)
I'm still going to sit on Blake I guess. I'm trying to be open to DH's suggestions, if anything, out of respect for him. But I guess Blake just feels a little too vanilla or boring.
Oh and the boy name thing- we just like it :). We're never going to go with cutesy fem girl names, I don't know why.

I like both Sawyer and Blake but Sawyer doesn't age well for me so I voted Blake.

I like Blake. Sawyer is too masculine for me and all I think of is Tom Sawyer. I do like "boy" names on girls - Dylan, Carson, etc

I just want to say that Blake and Sawyer are both uncommon for girls, but not unheard off. And both rising really quickly. So, I think they're both pretty neutral, in general.
And I totally vote Sawyer still. I think Blake is just going to make people think you named your kid after Blake Lively.

I'm kinda meh on all of them.
Maybe I spend too much time at the dogpark, I've met quite a few dog Sawyers and not any baby Sawyers.
Blake is a frat boy name in my ears.
Blakey doesn't sound like a real name.

I actually like Blake better than Sawyer... Sawyer for a girl is a little cutesy for my taste (like Sailor). I knew a girl named Blake in college and she was cool and edgy, so maybe that's coloring my opinion of it. What would the MN be for Blake? Rose?
