Congratulations!

Delilah has a horrible Biblical association. I would ditch that. I would also ditch Calleigh, because it's made up and tryndee looking. Calista with the nickname Cali would be gorgeous, and I love Evangeline and too. Lily Evangeline, Evangeline Lily, Calista Evangeline, Lily Calista and Calista Lily would be lovely.

I love all your boy names, but hate the nickname Gabe. James Gabriel or Gabriel James would be fantastic, but I hate the alliteration in Julian James / James Julian, even though I love both names.

Suggestions (possible nicknames are in quotes):
Sophia
Olivia
Charlotte
Annabel
Jasmine
Hope
Grace
Annelise
Anna
Rachel
Juliet
Iris
Rose
Evelyn

Nicholas
Michael
Thomas
Jonathan
Nathaniel
Lucas
William
Benjamin
Samuel
Daniel
Ethan
Evan
Alexander
Anthony
Andrew

Yeah, that's the reason I was leaning away from Delilah, with the association that I have from the Bible. Calleigh was a combo from Calvin and Leigh (two family members), I just thought Cali looked too short for a full fn. Lily Evangeline and Gabriel James are awesome!

Calista Charlotte might not be bad, what do you think?

I also love the sound of the name Delilah...but couldn't use it either.
Have you considered Lilah??? Same idea...no bad associations.

Gabriel James is GREAT btw!

Oooh...(m)

I hate alliteration, but Calista Charlotte is gorgeous, and they don't start with the same sound. Very pretty!

I like Amy's suggestion of just Lila / Lilah. What do you think of that?
