Finally, we're down to our final 5 names. It's taken alot longer than I thought it would due to DP and I having completely different tastes but we're finally here Now all we have to do is pick one... Oh, and middle names.

Valentina.
Sasha.
Avery.
Kate.
Jessica.

Valentina is a family name on my side - DP doesn't like it. Sasha is my name, I've loved it since I was about 15 and always thought it would be my first daughter's name - DP is keen but it would use it if he had to. Avery is a family name on his side - we both like it but only like, not love. Kate and Jessica are DP's choices - I'm not a huge fan of either of them.

I really don't want to still be arguing over this when DD comes along. HELP! Which do you like or dislike? I can take it, I promise!

Sasha and Avery are very nice.

Kate would be my third choice.

Valentina is not my cup of tea.

Jessica produces a reaction in me because of a hateful one I knew, but is fine.

I would choose Avery, personally.

I definitely think you should try and wrangle Sasha since you've wanted it for so long! Grin

Avery seems like a boys name to me (gut reaction, never heard of it before). The others I like. If you're not keen on Kate could you use one of the long versions and just then your DH can call her Kate (Katherine, Kathryn, Catherine, Katharina, Caitlin, Katrin etc)?

I would be looking at Sasha with either Kate or Jessica then you have one you like and one your DH likes. (Sasha Jessica has maybe too many s's?)

Jessica Avery is nice
Avery Kate
Sasha Kate

Lots of nice choices. Avery is really popular for girls here. :)

I quite like Avery, although I think of it as a boys name because of Charlotte's Web (I know it is unisex). I think that the best combination is

Avery Valentina Surname

Two family names, one from each side.
