Top "10" baby name choices

Thanks everyone for all the prayers before the referral and all your sweet comments after! My oldest son said, "Mom do you realize she was born on the day we all starting praying really hard" great opportunity to teach the power of prayer "and a few hail mary's"

So here are the top 10 choices in no specific order, (you came up with great ideas) so chime with what you like and add too it!!!! Her birth name is Sol Aleley and our last name is the ever popular brand of baby oil! dull Our older children are Benjamin, Natalie and Jack

here we go imagine "sol" as the middle name

Kira (persian for sun "I" pronounced like "ee")
Marisol (we would use Aleley for a middle name)
Melina
Juliana
Luisa (hubby's favorite all along)
Mary
Solana (my best friend is Lana)
Claire
Linnea
Sabrina

The kids still call her "muffin" but from now on she is "Sunshine" in my heart. I will call her that forever.

My vote is for Juliana Sol. I did like your daughters suggestion of Neomi (can't remember the spelling)... it would be cool to have all the girls in your family start with 'N'. Good luck, they are all great choices.

Althoug Kira was one of the names we picked out before we decided on Brooklyn, I like Linnea Sol!

Good luck choosing a name, we found it so hard Brooklyn did not have an official name for 2 months. Prior to that we called her our little peanut.

Once again, Big Congradulations to you and your family!!!

I didn't participate in the first post, but this brings back fond memories of dh and I making top 10 lists when we were expecting our daughter. We had a hard time narrowing names down and choosing. With our referral, we are keeping the first name and did agonize over whether or not to change the middle name.


Anyway, of your list, my preferences are for Marisol (nice tie-in with Sol) and Juliana. They are all nice.

Very unhappy with my agency due to lack of communication, long process, contract restrictions, and many other reasons. Ask me if you'd like to avoid them.

I love Kira, but Kira Sol sounds a lot like the way my family says kerosene.

Solana is a beautiful name.

Congratulations on your new baby girl! I vote for Marisol, it's beautiful and a tie in to her given name.
Besides you know how we Washingtonians love our "sunshine"! Now you'll have some year round!
