Round 3 (Voting Ends 3/29 at 11:45PM)
Cast Votes --->

Match up #1

Ellie is daddy's #1 choice right now.  He really likes how "Emma and Ellie" sound together and it keeps with the E theme.

Ellie (Big Daddy Conference) is short for Eleanor.  It is a Greek name meaning “Light”.  In 2012, it was ranked #114.  This name is Daddy’s #1 choice ;)

Olivia (Her Royal Highness Conference) is Latin meaning “Olive Tree”. In 2012, it was ranked #4.

Match up #2

Well, we would tell you how we feel here except it's Daddy vs. Mommy.  Since mommy is typing, she will refrain from swaying the vote :)

Grace (Big Daddy Conference) is Latin meaning “Favor, Blessing”.  In 2012, it was ranked #16.

Addison (Queen Bee Conference) is English meaning “Son of Adam”, unique for a girl’s name.  In 2012, it was ranked #13. 

Match up #3

They are really not a fan of either name for their little girl.  Evie is unique but may be a little unique for them.  Isabella on the other hand is already a family name so we would like to avoid as well.

Evie (Sander Family Blog Conference) is Latin meaning Life.  In 2012, it was ranked #1559.

Isabella (Her Royal Highness Conference) is Hebrew meaning “God is my vow”.  In 2012, it was ranked #2.  Daddy has a cousin named Isabella already.

Match up #4

Sophia is very popular right now and maybe not unique enough.  Yes Yes, Emma is very popular too but remember, we named her "Emmalyn" for a reason.  Now, both Daddy and Mommy like Madelyn a lot, but if we name our second daughter with "-lyn" on the end, what happens if we have a third girl, EEk!

Madelyn (Big Daddy Conference) is Hebrew meaning “of Magdala”.  In 2012, it was ranked #79.

Sophia (Her Royal Highness Conference) is Greek meaning “Wisdom”.  In 2012, it was ranked #1.

Match up #5

Again, we would tell you how we feel here except it's Daddy vs. Mommy.

Nora (Queen Bee Conference) is English meaning “Honor, Light”.  In 2012, it was ranked #137.  This is Mommy’s #1 pick.

Madison (Big Daddy Conference) is English meaning “Son of Maud”. In 2012, it was ranked #8.

Match up #6

Mommy is going to be honest with you.  Even though Annabel is from her conference, her #1 name right now is Adeline.  She would like to call her "Addie" for short.  "Emma and Addie".  Nice ring!

Annabel (Queen Bee Conference) is Scottish meaning “Grace, Loveable”.  In 2012, it was ranked #536.

Adeline (Sander Family Blog Conference) is German meaning “Noble”. In 2012, it was ranked #634.

Match up #7

Mommy and daddy are a huge fan of the name Addelyn!  She would be "Addie" for short here too.

Addelyn (Spoil ‘em, Send ‘em Home Conference) is German meaning “Noble”. It is not ranked.

Hailey (Da Rams! Conference) is English meaning “Natural”. In 2012, it was ranked #159.

Match up #8

And this one is a toss up.  Natalie is from daddy's conference, but mommy prefers the name Abigail.  She'd go by "Abby" for short.

Abigail (Spoil ‘em, Send ‘em Home Conference) is Hebrew meaning “My Father’s joy”. In 2012, it was ranked #7.

Natalie (Big Daddy Conference) is Latin meaning “Born on Christmas”. In 2012, it was ranked #14.  We doubt this baby girl will be born on Christmas.
