First baby names! So many options, so hard to narrow down.

Baby Names

I'm pregnant with my first baby, and my husband and I have of course spent a lot of time discussing names. We have it narrowed down between two for a boy, but there are so many girl names we both love that it has been much harder to narrow down the right one.

When I was young and would talk about future kids with my friends, my girl name was always Adelaide. I thought it was so beautiful and elegant. I would sometimes go back and forth between that and Madeleine, which would sound very nice with our last name.

Personally, I also love the name Leticia. I love the sound of it, it's so dramatic, and it means 'joy' in latin. This baby has already brought us so much joy that it feels appropriate :) but it does sound a bit old to me.

My husband love Arabella and Rosemary. Rosemary I think would make a very good middle name, but I'm not crazy about it for a first name. Arabella is very pretty to me, but I did know a girl named Arabella that kind of soured the name for me.

Anyway, we'll most likely keep these options in mind and wait until they are born to see which one feels right. But it would fun to know peoples opinions :) Which one is your favorite?
