Is it small and petty of me to even care, if we love the names? The names we've been playing with for a girl are Emma, Charlotte, Grace, and Catherine (all middle name Anne). I knew Emma is popular now, but DH and I have loved that name (and/or Emily, which my best friend then used for her first baby) for the past 6-7 years, before it was this commonly used. Darn it! I only just found out how popular the other ones are. I also like Juliette and Juliana, but DH isn't so keen on those.
And we're going to have problems if this baby is a boy. We both love the name Jack, but don't want to use a "nickname" as a first name, which leaves us with John or Jacob, neither of which we love. And that's all we've been able to agree on!
Is anyone else having this much trouble with names? We had Bella's name picked out years in advance, and it fit her from birth, so we never had to do this. We're running out of time
