Baby girl names

[mommyin10]

Hi. We're having boy/girl twins. Our son will be named after his daddy, Richard Clay. At this point, we call him Little Ricky :) We've narrowed down our little girl's name, but I'd love to hear your opinions. Kathleen is my full name, which is what I'd like to use as a middle name. Elizabeth is my mom's name & Jacqueline (Jaclyn) was dh's grandmother's name. Your thoughts on whether a name might be too popular would be appreciated, too. Thanks, ladies! :)

i know like 5 ppl that all just named their babies Ava..so i personally wouldnt choose that one.

Wow, great comments & lots of votes! :) Thanks, ladies! Our original choice before even becoming pregnant was Jaclyn (or Jacqueline) Elizabeth after dh's grandma & my mom, but a few months ago, I fell in love with Ava Kathleen. As oceanv said, although we don't know Avas, we were afraid it was too popular. Olivia & Ava have been our top choices lately, so I asked the nurse during my last hospital stay what the most popular baby girl names have been. She told me (for our local hospital) Isabella & Sophia or Sophie. When I asked about Ava or Olivia, she said, not this year. So, we'll see! Thanks again for your help :)

Huntmommy: Do you prefer Jacqueline over Jaclyn? I was afraid it'd be too long.

Sue: I don't like the twins-y thing with names, so thanks for your comment! That gives me something more to think about :) haha!

Pamela: Do you like Olivia with Kathleen or Kate & what do you call your daughter as a nickname? I was thinking Liv or Livi. dh said he'd call her Olive ;)

adgal: Haha! Too funny :) My name is Kathleen Elizabeth, so I love that you like it, but I can't use it for my daughter :)

This was easy for me, as my baby girls name is Olivia!

I like Olivia Kate -  but the other ones are nice too.  Jaclyn might be shortened to Jackie by others - but, it goes with Ricky  - very "twins-y".

I like Ava but I think its been in the top 5 girl names for a few years now so there will be lots of them

I voted Ava...I love all the old movie stars.  I also really really love the names Kathleen and Elizabeth....how about Kathleen Elizabeth or Elizabeth Kathleen?  It's so hard to choose a name isn't it!  Anyway, all your choices are really pretty.
