Girl Baby Names Update

I got a great response from my last post - thank you for all your help!  It was a lot of fun and I feel like I need to respond to everyone.  So - here is where we stand now.  I checked the website that Emily left for me and I LOVED it.  I don't know how I missed it.  After using it I  came up with a new favorite - Joslyn (or Jocelyn as Chantal suggested at probably the same time I was looking it up).  Of course Mike doesn't like it, but he didn't throw it off the list either.   When he got home last night he had a new idea, Clarissa, which is what Amber suggested.  That is definitely a contender.  I have to tell Jessica and Anne Marie that I love the name Claire, in fact I like it so much it's Lilah's middle name - so I can't use it. Brittney - I really like the name Josie.  I had forgotten until you suggested it that I had it on my list of girl names when I was younger (actually Brittney was on my list then too =).   Anne Maire I loved your list of names.  Emmaline reminds me of Anne of Green Gables, there was an Emmaline at the school she taught at...and if you have another girl and name her Lilah (or Lila or Lyla) that's cool with me, April Ann does have an Annalisa!
Anyway, I don't know if I got everyone - oh Sarah, yes I really like the name Scarlett (and Ruby too) but I don't know if it really fits with my other girls.  Anyway, I appreciate all your suggestions - we now have a few more names on our list of possibilities.  We still have a long way to go, but I feel much more positive about our options!  If anyone else has any other suggestions, let me know!  Thanks again!

I went to bed thinking of names for you. Here are some that I thought of. Sadie, Ellie, Rachel, Savannah, Naomi, Taylor, Phoebie, Tessa, Ivy and I noticed someone suggested Scarlett. Which was also one of the names I loved. All these names are the ones I love for my next girl. But with my luck I will have a boy. Good luck with choosong a name!

Ok so I will help think of names because Evelyn is an absolute no! I think it sounds too much like Madeline and I don't think it would go at all!!! Ok the truth is we love that name and the only girl name on Michael and mines list. So if you name her that there just might be two in the family (That is if we ever have a girl).

Other suggestions are:

Sofina
Eleni
Brooklyn
Ashlyn
Elaina (sp?)
Felicity
Eliza

I'm just finally chiming in with my congrats on another girl! If I think of any names I'll pass them along, but I think everyone else has got it covered!

I love the name Tessa and I agree that the name Emmaline fits for your family...I am not really very good at the naming thing... good luck!
