I like Evelyn, Rosalyn / Rosalind, and Stella / Estelle the best. Brielle are Gabrielle/a too 'trendy' for my tastes and Katherine is way too popular. Jacqueline is ok, but I dislike the nn Jackie. :-/ Good luck.

---

I like Jacqueline Katherine and Evelyn

I don't think Stella is overdone these days. I've only heard of 1 girl with the name, locally. I like it better than Estelle too, sounds too dated.

---

I like Stella Evelyn the best.

---

When are you due?

---

-Elizabeth

Future mom of Sebastian Dee or Tierra Belle

I like/love:

---

Brielle
Evelyn
Gabrielle / Gabriella
Katherine
Stella / Estelle

---

The combos I like are:

---

Evelyn Gabriella
Brielle Katherine
Estelle Katherine

I'm not wild about the name Stella, but it's a decent name. I really like Evelyn though. Rosalyn, Rosalind, Estelle, Brielle, and Gabrielle are also nice.

---

Combo ideas:
Evelyn Gabrielle or Evelyn Gabriella - I personally prefer Gabrielle.
Evelyn Brielle
Evelyn Stella

---

If you are planning to name your daughter something that is not overused, avoid Katherine unless you use it as a middle name. In that case, it doesn't really matter.

---

More ideas:
Arabella
Arabelle
Marielle
Mariella
Noelle - Would it be really strange to name her this since she will be a spring baby? I have mixed thoughts here, but I really like the name.
Noella
Noelia
Joelle
Laurelle / Lorelle
Emmeline

I love Stella and Katherine. What about Stella Katherine?

I like Brielle as a nnn for Gabrielle or Gabriella. I also like Jacqueline, Rosalyn and Stell or Estelle. YOu may also want to consider Celeste. That is one of my all time faves!

Congratulations! Stella Rosalyn would be a really pretty combo using names from your list.

---

Brielle - I think some people might not know how to spell it, but either way, I dislike it. It feels trendy and unsubstantial to me.
Evelyn - Very pretty, but rising in popularity, at least here at BtN
Gabrielle or Gabriella - Never liked this name, probably never will, but I can't give you a good reason why.
Jacqueline - Nice name but slightly overused
Katherine - Love the name, but again, it's quite popular. I would reserve this and Jacqueline for the MN spot.
Rosalyn or Rosalind - Love this! I prefer the Rosalyn spelling, I think.
Stella or Estelle - Also on my list. Very feminine and pretty without being too frilly.

Magnanimous Despair alone could show me so divine a thing, where feeble hope could ne'er have flown, but vainly flapped its tinsel wing.

baby #2 due: 19th May, 2007

Brielle - I think it's cute and could grow on me more, but I still prefer it as a NN for Gabrielle.

---

Evelyn - very nice and classy, even though it's not a top fave of mine

---

Gabrielle / Gabriella - both are nice...I slightly more prefer Gabrielle, but you can't go wrong either way imo.

---

Jacqueline - pretty and has grown on me a lot as of late, but I much prefer the sp. Jaclyn

---

Katherine - lovely, classic, feminine name, but I prefer it sp. Kathryn.

---

Rosalyn / Rosalind - both are nice, though I prefer Roselyn. They almost seem better as MNs to me.

---

Stella / Estelle - I definitely prefer Stella...lovely and one of my faves! Estelle is very dated imo and doesn't sound as pretty as Stella.

---

In order, my faves are: Stella, Katherine, Gabrielle, Gabriella, Jacqueline, Evelyn, Rosalyn, Rosalind, Estelle.

You want to help me
You want to save me
And you don't even know me ♥

I vote for Stella or Gabrielle. Both are pretty.

---

Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why. -Baruch

Brielle -- Where's the "Ga-" part? Trendy. I'd save this as a nn for Gabrielle.

---

Evelyn -- Lovely.

---

Gabrielle / Gabriella -- Prefer Gabrielle. Very elegant.

---

Jacqueline -- Very elegant. And thank you for spelling it correctly. :-)

---

Katherine -- Beautiful, but in need of a rest unfortunately. Katies are a dime a dozen.

---

Rosalyn / Rosalind -- Much prefer Rosalind. Lovely, refreshing. Rosalyn always looks like a lazy person's version of Rosalind.

---

Stella / Estelle -- Both are lovely.

list:

---

Jacqueline- Like it with prn. jack-LEEN never Jackie
Katherine- pretty. Love nn Kate
Rosalyn or Rosalind- really nice and underused
Stella or Estelle- I think I like Estella better. I think of Marlon Brando screaming "STELLA!" on A Streetcar named Desire when I hear Stella.

---

ETA: Stella also reminds me of the word stale.

These are all on my list except Brielle -nms- and Gabriela-my sister.
I like Stella but prefer Estella to Estelle- the "e" at the end makes me think of Estelle Getty -Sofia on the Golden Girls. LOL
