My husband and I couldn't agree on a name for our second daughter until 2 days before she was born. At that point, he finally gave in and let me name her. We had no problems naming our first daughter, we had her first name picked out before the big ultrasound, and her middle name picked out shortly after.
Our older daughter is Brinlee Addisyn. Her middle name is after my grandfather's middle name, but we changed the spelling. The -lee at the end of her first name is my sister's middle name.
Our younger daughter is Isabel Reese. My grandma's middle name is Belle, and I adore the nickname Izzie. My husband actually hated Isabel and said no, no, no... but finally gave up when I wouldn't agree to anything else. Reese, just a name I liked and knew he liked a lot.
We didn't have any other first name options for Brinlee.
With Isabel, other names we through around her were Harper (she was going to be Harper for about 2 weeks, then I changed my mind) and Aubrey. Aubrey Sophia and Aubrey Grace were my options. After a few weeks I changed my mind again.
I also liked Amelia, Ava, Chloe, Eliana, Hadley, Kennedy, Mara, Mattea, and Tatum... but the hubster shot all of those down.
His only suggestions were Katelyn- no thank you, Ryan- that's a boy name, and Taylor- again, boy name.
He really liked Aubrey, and was sad when I decided I couldn't picture myself with an Aubrey.
Good luck to all of you who are trying to make a name decision!
