My favorites

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

I like names that are a little bit different, but still largely traditional.

Daphne
Delphine
Delphina
Elodie
Elsa nn Elsie
Joy (so simple and sweet)
Kaia
Katriel (pr. kah-tree-el or kat-tree-el, either one is fine with me)
Lake
Linnea (pr. lynn-ay-a)
Luka
Noa
Sadie
Seneca (There are reasons not to like this, but I love it. I can't help it. Possible nn Sunny)
Sequoia (I like the sound, the nature association, and the fact that it has all five vowels. Ha!)
Stella (This and Kaia are probably a bit too trendy for me actually, but I like them)
Tabitha
Talia
Tavia (pr. tay-vee-a -- I don't care for Octavia)
Zinnia (Victorian flower name, way less common than Rose or Lily)

Arthur
Caius
Cedric
Denver (had meaning as a place name for me)
Felix
Gavin
Jasper
Kenneth (family name)
Leo
Rio
Tavish


Not pregnant now, but if I were, our top choices are probably Seneca or Daphne and Cedric or Tavish.
