Struggling with a girl name!

[randomuser.livejournal.com]

This is my first post here!

I am having a baby in March, and we decided to not know the sex of the baby. I have had a boy name picked out since I had my first son. However, picking out a girl name has really been a lot harder then I thought it would be. Ok, so Elizabeth is a guaranteed first name. It's a family thing. However, finding a middle name is being a pain in my butt! All the names I like, except 2 are super popular in the past few years. I only found this out after looking at the most popular baby names of certain years.

The ones we like plus their number on the 100 list of 2005:

Madison #3
Hannah #8
Isabel #6 (as Isabella)
Mackenzie #23
Cadence #71
Caitlin #4

As you can see, only 2 are not super super popular. Any suggestions!?!? I am really starting to stress out. Any opinions about what is on the list or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am annoyed at the movie industry.

Since about a year and a half ago, my SO and I decided that we'd name the next boy we had (if we had one) Tristan. I've been in love with the name since I was a teenager after reading the fable, Tristan and Isolde. Now I fear this new movie (which, incidentally, I can't WAIT to see) will make the name unbearably popular. Growing up as 1 of a zillion Jennifer's in the 80's has turned me off completely to anything extremely popular. I don't want to name my child that and it become the new "Aiden". So it leads me to this question, should I automatically dismiss it if it does become insanely popular? Should popularity matter quite so much when choosing a name? Ideally I won't have to worry about this when it comes time to think about it (we're not even trying yet, probably late this year,) but I was just wondering about it while trying to avoid working.

Opinions?

yes or no?

What does everyone think about the name Ireland? We seriously considered it for our last baby but ended up having a boy. I'm afraid it will be hard for some people to say, especially old relatives and kids. I hear lots of "Island's" in the future.

question

 Is Reba a nickname for Rebecca?

If it's not a traditional nickname for it, could it pass for one?

Haha so everyone seems to hate my Ireland idea.....what about this other one that has long been on my favorites list:

Eilea (pronounced "I-Lee")

I wanted to ask the opinion of people who appreciate names as much as me

Okay so question.....

My husband is adopting my son. We are going to change his last name of course and his middle name. I really want my husband to help me pick a name. He loves the name Alexander. I love it too. But....he has an ex girlfriend whos name is Alexandria. I hate her. Those names a real close to each other and she is the only reason why I am refusing to use Alexander. I also like the name Nathaniel and since I'm being stubborn about the closness his exgirlfriends name we are leaning towards Nathaniel. Now the question. Am I being stupid? I should just get over it right? Alexander is a great name, I think.
