HELP! We have no official name for this baby. We had been thinking of Natalie Anne- but we're just not sure anymore. We've also been thinking of Malea (Malia, or Maleah) which means calm and peaceful in Hawaiian. Let's see other names:
1. Madelynn
2. Ester- only Jeffrey likes this name (Jeffrey thinks that because he was named after a good guy, Jeffrey R Holland, that the baby needs to be named after a good woman and Ester in the Bible is his favorite)
3. Hannah
Please leave a comment and give suggestions. We are open to all responses. Thanks!!

Malissa,
I like Natalie & Malia. I had two or three names picked out for Kaitlyn. I just couldn't decide. After she was born, I just knew she was Kaitlyn! I know how tough it is to decide on a name! Let us know what you choose!
LOL! Oh you are too much. We aren't even pregnant yet and we have names picked out: Abigail Lyn or Cooper Jerimiah. Of course, it would be our first child so we are using our dream names. If we get to baby number three, we might run out of ideas.
I like Melody's idea... have a it narrowed down to a few and then when the baby is born you'll know her name.
Just remember to be kind to the child. Trevor's real name is William Trevor Olson, not Trevor William Olson. His initials would have been TWO.
I think Malia is a beautiful name...but I may be biased since I have a Leah! I also really like Natalie. A family in our ward had a daughter who was born right after Emma and Leah that they named Natalie, and I kind of wished I had used it! But you know how it is with duplicate names. I could talk about baby names all day...I am excited to hear what you choose!
oooooooh, how fun!
You've already received great advice, but thought I'd throw my two cents in.
I like Jeff's idea of giving your daughter a name with meaning, but I'm not crazy about Ester either. Are there any family names you like? Grandmothers? Great-grandmothers? Aunts? Or names of other women you admire? I love names with a story behind them.
I like all the other names you've picked out! I'll keep thinking, though...(because it's more fun to think about baby names than work! ;))
--Melissa (formerly Carlton)
Mom, grandmas, and greats on Mark's side: Marilyn, Rhea, Ruth, Edith Mae (Maisy), and Mary
My side: Rolayne, Bonnie, Mary Anne (Anne is also my middle name), Alice, Ethel, and Lillian
Other family names: Elizabeth, Rebekah, Rachel
I really like Anne Marie kind of a combo of all the Marys on both sides- but Mark doesn't.
We had names picked out: Matthew Thomas and Natalie Anne. We're just not sure we like them anymore.
Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming!!!
I love the name Natalie Anne, but also enjoy Malia or Maleah or however you'd like to spell it.
Malissa,
I like Natalie or Hannah, the others aren't my favorite. I think Natalie Anne is too hard; it doesn't seem to flow very well. I hope that that helps.
No help here... naming babies is hard!
Good luck with that and the whole birth!
I love the name Anne or any variation of Anne (it's also a family name for me and I'd guess about 3/4 of the population!): Annie or Anna. And of course, it must be spelled with an "E"! :)
I think Annie is an adorable name. Not short for anything, just "Annie." I would name a daughter Annie, but it's my mom's nickname and that would just get confusing. (And despite my southern roots, I would be totally against "Little Annie.")
I also love "Mae" for a middle name. Maybe Malia Mae?
I knew a Mileah... so there's another spelling for you.
Madelynn is cute because it goes with Brooklynn. But then maybe that's too matchy matchy for you. Every girl in town isn't being named a variety of Madeline anymore, so that's good.
Esther... ich. Great person, bad name. Maybe as a middle name.
Hannah I like.
I'm obsessed with names. If you check under my blog category of name or names you'll find all my thoughts and a link to a great baby naming website.
I love those names... Natalie is cute :)
If you need additional suggestions... combine all your family names
Bonnie + Alice = Bonice
Elizabeth + Rebekah = Elikah
Rolayne + Ethel = Rothel
Lilian + Ann Marie = Lilirie
WOW! That was hilarious... need more suggestions? ;)
