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!

Elizabeth is lovely, and I agree that popularity isn't such a big deal with middle names. I really dislike Madison and Mackenzie, which should have remained boys' names, but Hannah is pretty, and I have a soft spot for Caitlin. Laura Wattenberg also lists the following as sister names:
For Madison: Sydney, Payton, Brooklyn, Hailey (and also Mackenzie, but that's already on your list)
For Hannah: Abigail, Olivia, Chloe, Ava, Emily
For Isabel: Madeline, Lily, Phoebe, Sophie, Amelia
For Isabella: Sophia, Arabella, Juliana, Gabriella, Angelina
For Mackenzie: Kennedy, Riley, Reagan, Mckenna (and Madison)
For Cadence: Lyric, Harmony, Kaya, Meadow, Kenzie
For Caitlin: Megan, Jillian, Courtney, Morgan, Casey

I really like Amelia, Juliana, and Gabriella, if those aren't too long with Elizabeth.

Cadence, Lyric & Harmony.. wow musical family!
Its funny.. my name is up there (sophie) & i love all the names that go with it, infact i will name my daughter Amelia.
btw, i've wondered for a while.. is the girl in your icon your daughter? Because she is so gorgeous.

Haha, nooo, I'm definitely not old enough to have a daughter of any age. (Well, the scary thing is that I probably am now, but I can't imagine taking care of a baby.) The full-size picture is really cute, it's a little girl in ballet class.

I didn't even notice Cadence, Lyric, and Harmony when I was typing it out, but that's funny. Lots of her choices I would never actually use as sibling names - I take them more as "If you like this name, you might also like ..."

I love Amelia. I'm just hoping it doesn't skyrocket before I have kids.

The baby in my icon is my son. He gets mistaken for a girl a lot, it's the eyes! I swear he has girly eyes then I do. :)

Your son is gorgeous too (i can tell he's a boy, though i know a few female Brodys!) My comment was replying to Celeria though. But as i said before you son is a cutie too! :-)
