dear ladies (and uh, gentlemen),

i've been combing through babynaming sites (sigh, again), trying to pick up names that maybe i had overlooked before. i came up with a few that were not originally on my list, or have a different spelling than what was on my list. just looking for opinions and maybe possible middle name pairings. here goes:

Ansley
Anabel
Astrid
Brenna
Brynn
Penelope
Sophia
Tanis
Tegan
Waverly
Wren

i honestly feel like i'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. not saying i don't like these names, but it wasn't until i retired my two favorites Lily and Ava (after i found out how uber popular they are, i began second guessing my choices) that I started re-searching. nothing is resonating with me, i guess.

Tanith is cute to me. It's more solid than Blythe, a name I also love...but with the same TH sound.

Tanis is something i came across in a babyname site that I'd not heard before either.

Waverly is adorable to me, It reminds me of the girl that was on Survivor last season named Parvati. I'm not sure why exactly.

just fyi: Tanis Half-Elven is the hero of the Dragonlance Chronicles~a fantasy series of books based on the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game. It has a kind of cult following as a name. The heroine is Laurana other characters are Kitiara, Tika, Goldmoon, Riverwind, Caramon, Raistlin, Sturm and Alhana.
