We found out we are having a girl and my husband and I cannot agree on a name. Here are a few I like. Middle name will be James in honor of my husband's best friend that passed away. Please help!

I like Eleanor and Claire best but I voted Claire because I feel that Eleanor has become so popular. I know 3 toddlers named Eleanor!

Claire James reminds me of Claire Danes...(not that that matters. ) I really like the flow of Eleanor James.

I voted Eleanor! Also I LOVE James as a middle name for a girl. It is DS's middle name - after my dad - but we were team green and would have used it either way

I love them all, but voted for Claire! We just found out that we're having another boy. If we were having a girl, Claire Grace would have been her name, but love that you're honoring DH's friend and using his name as her middle name. So that's why I chose Claire - I am very in love with that name!

I call both my girls "sweet baby James" from time to time. Glad that you are using it in your baby's name. I prefer Eleanor as it is so classic to go with your out of the box middle name.

@2PeasinaPod: Hooooray!!! That is so exciting.
I voted Claire...because it's my favorite name in the whole wide world...and the name of my favorite human being on this earth. Hint - it's DD.

Love love Isla James. Eleanor is cute too, but getting more and more popular! They are all great choices though, but Isla my favorite!
