Re: Maia or Lucy?
Maia is more modern and therefore less classic; it also seems to have more pronunciation options (MAYa? MYa?). But it's pretty and I quite like it.I'd go for Lucy in a heartbeat, except I wouldn't: it was going to be my daughter's name, but when she was born she just didn't look right to be a Lucy. No clue how she did it!

What didn't you end up calling her? Just curious :) I think we'll wait for the delivery room (or after) to make a final decision.

Caroline! Luckily I'd taken a reliable names book in with me, so I just worked through it, finding names I liked and seeing if they'd fit. I hadn't thought about Caroline, so it was quite a surprise when she looked like one. Luckily also, I didn't have to work through the entire alphabet before I found the right one.

Nice! I love the name Caroline too! We had it on our list too, but hubby being French Canadian pronounces it as Carolyn even when spelt Caroline, and neither of us likes the others pronounciation as much as our own. Seems like Lucy is the winner in this poll. She was my original favourite and I just thought of Maia recently as a contender, but now I'm thinking of sticking with Lucy. As long as she looks like one! We've also got Liliana (Lily) on the list to try out at the hospital bc that's the hubby's favourite.
