Baby names

Halle/Hallie or Savannah

After my first thread we knocked Lennox off the table and have only agreed on these two names out of hundreds.
So opinions on either would be great! And also maybe middle name suggestions for either? Surname is short and quite simple, begins with S, along the lines of smith.

Ooh I like Hallie (I have a DD nn Callie so biased [wink ] ). Prefer Hallie to Savannah, and prefer the "ie" spelling personally.

I like Hallie/Halle

To me Savannah is an exotic dancer's name.

Hallie. How about Susannah instead of Savannah?

Hallie. It's really lovely actually.

Savannah is dreadful.

Hallie Smile

My DD's MN is Kate, so there's an option! Wink

I don't like Savannah either, how about Hannah?

I prefer the original spelling of Halle.

Ok it looks like savannah is off the table too! I love Hallie though and so does DH. We have a DS called Logan and I think it goes quite nicely with that

Hallie, with this spelling.

Is Halle pronounced Hallie or Hallay?

I have a Savannah and, although my tastes changed quite a lot with later daughters, I still love it. She is/wants to be a dancer but hopefully won't go down the exotic route Wink

I also like Hallie.

I much prefer the original spelling of Halle. Lovely name.

Savannah is terrible so am glad you've taken that off the list :)

Well after reading all these comments I was 100% happy with Halle/Hallie (still a bit undecided on sp), turns our DH had no recollection of saying he loved it so now he's not sure Angry this is impossible!
He has now suggested Skylar which I thought was ok but have decided I really don't like it at all so that's not an option. I'm so stuck!

I like Savannah too.

Have you considered Suzannah? Can be Zanna for short if you don't like Suzie.

Or Rosanna?

My Savannah is sometimes Vanna for short.

Think I'm the only one who prefers the Halle spelling! Really don't like anything that ends in ie though! Too twee!
I actually really like Savannah too but where I live it tends to be used by chavs trying to be cool Shock

Savannah is a circa 2000 name. And I didn't really like it then. Halle or Hallie would be fine. Please avoid Skylar, it will date horribly.

Thank goodness we have finally 100% decided!
We have agreed on Hallie Ava Smile
I've always loved Ava but know too many babies with the name but we thought it would be nice as a middle name.
Please tell me this is not a horrible combination! And I kind of preferred original spelling but it just doesn't look right with Ava to me...
