I love Charlotte. That was my last-minute favorite before we decided on Amelia. I would have wanted to use the nickname Lottie. So cute!
I also like Beatrice (Trixie), so maybe we have similar taste?
Other top favorites: Margaret (Maggie, Meg), Dorothy (Dottie), Ruby, Maura, Clara, Eleanor (Nora)
I LOVE Margaret, it's my Jane's mn. And well I guess everyone knows I love Clara and Eleanore. We never called E Nora, altho I do love that name too, she was usually just Eleanore or Clara called her Nortnor. But there are so many nicknames from Eleanore you could use.
Love the name Maura too!

I'm usually just lurking here, but I love babies and baby names.
Charlotte is very pretty and not common.
I have a family member that is named Mary-Lennon and that's what she's called. I think it's so pretty but can't ever use it. :O)
I also like Helaynah.

Love all of your name ideas, really! I was just reading the adorable Knuffle Bunny books by Mo Williams - featuring a cute little girl named Trixie and her daddy. Might be a way to soften up your DH on that name? lol
Charlotte, Violet or Ruby! I also love Natalie, but it seems more trendy sounding. I LOVE Charlotte and it is on my list if/when we have another girl. Violet is just so sweet sounding, though.

I like Annie Sophia. I know a kid named Sophia, but no Annies or Annettes. One adults, and she is super cute and sweet and happy person. Just for the record.
Ooops, I didn't read the replies before I posted before. I like Charlotte with Ava way better than the others. And personally, I don't like Harper because it reminds me of a person who is just going to harp on you all day long (like this one little girl at preschool!)
My grandmother's middle name was Sophia.
Hmm...I think Harper is cool. I have not heard it very much around here- lots of Emily, Ava (darn), Anna, Olivia.....I vote for Harper
I LOVE Maragret, it's my Jane's mn. And well I guess everyone knows I love Clara and Eleanore. We never called E Nora, altho I do love that name too, she was usually just Eleanore or Clara called her Nortnor. But there are so many nicknames from Eleanore you could use.
Love the name Maura too!
Maura! I just saw this I used to hate my nae- there was only one other Maura in my school. Now, I love that it's still not so common
I've loved Harper for a very long time. My Melody's middle name is Harper. I think people thought it was weird when we used it but I see it popping up more now (but not too much). I know of 2 little girls named Harper in our area. Love it!
I also like Charlotte a lot. I don't know any little Charlottes at all. I like Sophia/Sophie but there are a lot of them here. I don't like Beatrice but interestingly enough I love Beatrix!
Rosemary is a sweet little name. I know a little Rosemary and they sometimes call her that and sometimes call her Rosie. She's too cute.
If you are at all concerned with the name "fitting" with your other kids names, I think Lilah and Harper are two totally different styles (though we've had both on our lists before!!). I still like them together, just saying. I like Lilah and Charlotte together or Lilah and Beatrix.
Nora has also been on our list for future kids (if we ever conceive!!) but I think it's too close to Noelle (like Noah). I think we have similar taste in names.

I would never have thought of Trixie as a nickname for Beatrix, but then I've never known Nora to be a nickname either. I do like Beatrix/Beatrice (I like the latter more). I think because of Harper Lee Harper isn't really a gender-neutral name. I've never known a man named that, anyway. Or anyone. Harper Frances sounds great; it's definitely a strong name that will last her her whole life.
I'm not too fond of Annie, but I do like Anne. Annie and Anna are the really popular versions right now. My middle daughter's middle name is Anne, and if our last name wasn't one syllable, I'd probably have used it as her first name. It's a shame Anne is almost always regulated to middle name status.

See, we only know one Harper and he's a man. I think it's totally gender neutral though but the kids say it's too boyish. Too bad for them that they don't really get a say
I love Anna, but yes it is way too popular. I only know one Annie though.
Hmmmm, so at this point we're really thinking Harper Frances, much to the kids dismay.
