I’m not a fan of any of your boy names. Cole is nice, but Colton makes me think of a cowboy—nothing wrong with that, I guess, just not my thing.

aren’t you a peach? Please share, what’s your child’s name?

NP but agrees with PP, Caroline and Thomas.

That’s what I thought. Basic.

Sure, maybe. But I can tell you that some day when someone is looking at resumes, they're going to go ahead and call Caroline before Everleigh or Leighton.

Caroline will be boring and generic like her name with a boring and generic resume and they'll just assume she'll add nothing to the company and get ignored.

You really don't understand how the world works.

I actually agree with the PP. Do you see the popular names now a days? Forrest, Apple, etc. Super unique names. By the time your Caroline grows up, her name will be the odd one out.

No, the popular names now are Ava, Charlotte, and Grace. (The only Apple was Gwyneth's kid and Apple is a teen and Gwynnie has been consciously uncoupled for a long time)

I beg to differ. I know a preschool class with two Ashers, a Forrest, a Violet, a Knox, a Harlow and a few others. Unique names are “in”.

Asher is not unique. It is a Biblical name, and has never really faded especilaly if the family is Jewish.

Violet and Forrest are classic names. They have been around for generations and are not recent, made up crap like Hadleigh or Leighton.

Again, beg to differ. I have literally never heard the name Forrest before the last year and the two that I have heard it from are from super crunchy moms with one having a sibling named “Rayne”. Asher has become very popular over the last 1-2 years. Sorry but the Hadleys and harpers and harlows, etc are what’s in.

Browsed some names on Pinterest last night and a girl name that I really like now is, Elliana. How do we feel about that? Ellie for short?

We also really like Blakely but I’m on the fence.

If you use Eliana, please spell it properly. The extra L to be creative is kind of silly.

Eliana is good

If you like L, why not use Liliana? That is really pretty and she can be Lili for short if she wants.

I can't stand Blakely. That's another one of those last-name-as-first-name deals, or like you're trying to be a "unique" version of Blake.

Op here- My cousin is Lily so that’s out. I’ve also never heard blakely as a last name ever but maybe that’s me. Oh well! We have 5 months to figure this out. Thanks!
