opinion on girls name

[Anonymous]

Addison or Natalie? I favor one and my husband the other, but we both like each of them. Just curious if one is super popular right now and everyone will be named that.

Why not Natalie Addison .... The two of them are so different Personally, I prefer Nathalie

Addison gets my vote!

I know 3 Addisons under the age of 5. It's popular. I do know one baby named Natalie, but it was a family name. Don't think it's super-popular right now.

I've always loved Nathalie. Addison is a little too preppy/boarding school for me. Sorry!

Addison is SO popular. I know 3 little girls and 1 boy with it.

Not a fan of Natalie, but I love that it's different and I don't know any.

Think of the nicknames though...

no need to apologize- i prefer Natalie too!

OP here, since we are really early on in picking a name- tell me if you have a favorite name we might like!

We find out if we're having a boy or girl next week and if it's a girl I plan to lobby my husband for Amelia which is a recent favorite of mine. He loves Grace but it's pretty common these days. I like names that are a little unusual but not different just for the sake of being different, you know?

All of my childhood favorites are in the top 5 now: Emma, Sofia, Olivia, Isabelle What's up with that???

I love Amelia! One of our best friends named her daughter that otherwise that would be on our list too. I hope you husband comes around. I think grace is a great middle name.

I like Addison...my friend's name is Adelaide and we call her Addie!

I prefer Natalie.

I'm biased towards Natalie, because that's my name. But I also kind of hate Addison and its trendiness and the fact that it's a perfectly fine last name, but just is annoying as a first.

Don't know that I have other suggestions because I can't tell what style you like. (Natalie and Addison are TOTALLY different IMHO)

For the other poster, Amelia is awesome.

I don't like Addison at all. I think Natalie is a great name (probably helps that I know a woman named Natalie that is just fabulous). It is not super popular right now either.

Hate Addison with every fiber of my being. It's completely unoriginal.

I like Natalie. I've heard of a couple of young girls named Natalie so I think it's experiencing a resurgence, but nothing like the popularity of Addison and all those other ridiculous androgynous names. Some suggestions from Nymbler: Daphne, Cecily, Lila, Josephine, Claire, Camilla, Antonia.
