Advice on Top 4 Girl Names

[billyhorrible]

Rosalie. Not only is it beautiful, but I think it would be weird to name my daughter the same name as a living, family dog. And I think Liv is a good nickname, but don't love it as a full name.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I would go ahead and toss Liv, as your other choices are much better.

I would rank them:
Eva (suggesting Eve)
Rosalie (suggesting Rose)
Ivy (suggesting Iris)

[claud]

Rosalie
Eva
Ivy
Liv

I love Ivy and Rosalie are my favorites, but the pet association so close in the family ruins it, unfortunately. One of my DD's best friends has the same name as MIL's dog and even that is confusing for her. I just imagine someone saying Ivy and the dog running over while your DD's head turns.

Other than that, I like Eva better than Liv.

[honeylemon]

Eva is my favorite although I like Eve more and it seems more like your style since Liv was a contender.

Ivy is my second favorite. The dog thing would bother me too.

I'm not a fan of the Ros- names. Rosalie is just ok.

I do not like Liv as a stand alone name.

Liv - not my fave. I would rank this one a distant fourth.

Ivy - Love it. It's short, sweet, and perfect.

Rosalie - Love it. It's my favorite "rose" name.

Eva - it's okay. I would much prefer Eve.

[reginaphalange]

Ivy would be my top pick but I'm not thrilled about that dog situation because she's your mom. How old is the dog?

So:
1. Eva
2. Liv
3. Rosalie

[helenahhandbasket]

I love Ivy but couldn't name after a still living pet.

Rosalie is my second pick.

[icedtea]

I really like Rosalie. I'm not a big fan of Ivy.

+1 to all of this

[cabbagecabbage]

Ivy or Rosalie. I'd choose Rosalie and call her Rosie. Eva is too common and Liv feels flat.

[cosmicav]

A vote for Rosalie!!

[Oliver's Bear]

Liv -- I'd definitely use a longer name and save Liv as a nickname, but I can't stand Olivia
Ivy -- I like this one second best of your choices. The pet name connection doesn't bother me.
Rosalie -- I'd use this, and Rosalie Ivy would be a great name combination.
Eva -- Toss.

[rainbowbridge14]

Eva is my favorite!

Ivy would be my secon choice but I think the pet name connection would bother me.

Rosalie is fine just nms.

I don't like Liv and the Liv Tyler connection is too strong for me.

[ottertails]

I like all of the names on your list.

Eva: I have a soft spot for all the Eva/Eve names and the Evie nn, which is pretty close to ivy in sound.
Rosalie: I'm not a fan of Rosie, but I like this a lot and it's my favorite of the rose names.
Liv: I really like this one, but I think it would get overshadowed by all of the Olivias.
Ivy: Pet connections don't bother me, but if it really bothers you that both would respond to the name I'd reconsider.

[seamonster]

Love Eva. Liv and Rosalie are ok, but nms. A big no to giving a kid the same name as a family pet so I'd toss Ivy.

Thanks for all of the input! I think we are down to Eva and Rosalie!

I love both of these with your DS with Rosalie perhaps just winning out. What are your middle name options?

[lpj]

Late input but I vote Rosalie, just because Eva/Ava/Ivy/Evie etc are sooooo popular at the moment.
