[Opinions] Yes, but you've got to help us help you

First, may I offer *this* suggestion: please do not type in all caps, it seems like shouting, best to tone it down, thank you.
As for names that are "a little classic but kinda cute," I have a few ideas, but may I offer another suggestion? Please, it would help if we could get a clear notion of what you (and your husband?) like.
For example, do you want names that are at the top of the popularity charts, or at the bottom? Somewhere in the middle? What about Emma (#2 last year), Norah (#519) or Silvia (#996)?
Do you want names with a particular ethnic flavor, like Gaelic? Maybe Caoimhe, Niamh, and Caragh.
Spanish? Like Anamaria, Rosalie and Leticia.
Ones that sound entirely American without an ethnic influence? How about Jennifer, Tiffany and Melissa.
How do you feel about word names? What about River, Sky and Rain?
Place names? Like Savannah, Siena, and Sydney.
Virtue names? Maybe typical ones like Faith, Hope and Grace, or slightly more unusual ones like Constance, Verity and Felicity.
Flower names? Perhaps familiar, like Rose, Daisy and Lily, or rarer ones like Pansy, Poppy and Posy.
Biblical names? Like Ruth, Rachel and Rebecca, perhaps; or the more exotic ones like Bathsheba, Damaris and Hadassa.
Help us to help you!

So true. I actually passed this post by because I didn't know where to begin.
And so strange to see my own name in your examples. You know it's rare when it doesn't even get hyperlinked! And then my daughter's name too. I like seeing them together. That's all I have to say at the moment. So even though I'm sure it wasn't intentional, Thanks for making me grin :)
