Name advice

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
We know we have a girl on the way and we need a name that sounds alright with a last name very similar to "Kasey".

Here's our list:
Olivia
Ava
Sophie
Isabella (Bella)-This is a sentimental favorite because my son already calls the baby Baby Bella on his own!
Lily
Grace

Middle name would probably be Katherine. Any ideas?

Ok, don't take this the wrong way, but the list of names you've put up have to be the ones I'd list if I had to list the top ten most common girls names in our area.
I know more than one child under four with each of those names.

They are all nice names don't get me wrong but they are really really really common.

I love the name Isabella/Bella...Olivia, too (I knew a girl named Olivia and she went by Livy...I've always thought that was so cute!). My name (Anya) is so unusual and I've always had to spell it and pronounce it for everyone, that I actually prefer more common names...not necessarily trendy, but pretty, classic names. Ava is really nice... I don't think I have ever known anyone with that name... They're all really pretty; I think I'd say my favorites are Isabella and Olivia. Good luck!!

Isabella Katherine just flows so well together - that's my personal favorite

Popular or not, I really really like all of the names you listed (Sophie is probably my least favorite, but even that's cute). I actually had Olivia and Ava on my list for a girl, with Grace as the middle name.

I agree that Isabella Katherine sounds nice (and Bella is a cute nickname).

I realize my list of names is common-
DH and I are both teachers and it amazing that we haven't had students by either of these names yet! Sometimes having a preconceived notion of name (based on a past student) is not a good thing!
Does anyone else have some suggestions that are close to the names I like, but maybe less common?
I really like Sadie instead of Sophie (a little less common) but DH doesn't like it.

Ok, as long as you realize the names are common then that's fine. Grace was a sneaky one.... it didn't seem common around here and then WHAM all the girls born in 2003 are named Grace, its postiively weird.

I like Isabella best.

I love Sophie, but don't think it goes well with Katherine. Isabella Katherine sounds nice and it also has the advantage that it's what your ds has already named his little sister.

The sentimental sap in me says you've just gotta go with "Bella" (way too sweet!),
