Name Help Please
Hi! I've narrowed down my name search to a few ideas. I had originally intended to keep part of my daughter's birth name but decided against that as part of her name reminds me of someone I didn't like growing up (hated is more the word) and the other part I think she'd be teased about.
So, I've decided to give her a new first and middle name. Here are my choices... Emma Grace Grace Madison Grace McKinley Emma McKinley Emma Denali Grace Olivia Emma Elisabeth Grace Elisabeth Clearly I like the names Grace and Emma! McKinley and Denali refer to Alaska, my most beloved and favorite place on earth. My family thinks "Grace McKinley" or "Emma Denali" are too out there. But I think Grace McKinley is very pretty. I like the name Emma Grace, but as these are my two favorite names, I would prefer to save one of these names as I do intend to adopt again  .I would sure like opinions! Thanks!! Here are pictures of my baby girl...does she look like an Emma or a Grace to you? I have to admit, this is a fun dilemma!

I like Emma Grace but if you want to save one for later then either Emma Elisabeth or Grace Elisabeth. She looks like an Emma in the first pic and a Grace in the second!!
Picking a name is hard. I had lists and went through books and then picked John but it fits him!

Gosh, she is beautiful and all of the names are, too! Sorry I am not much help because she looks like an Emma AND a Grace to me! I also really like the name Delaney, but not trying to add to the confusion. Good luck - it is a fun decision!
P.S. I was born in Alaska~

I like Grace McKinley! It adds a part of your heart to her name.
I am really into nicknames right now so I like Emma Elisabeth (Emma Beth).
