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!

All of those are super super popular. The rank on the link isn't very indicative of their actual popularity. But I have seen ALL those names enough lately to make me wonder if my child would be doomed to being "Madison J." or "Mackenzie H." in school for her entire education.

If you don't want something "super super popular," don't look for ideas on the popular name lists! Look at various baby name websites, or even better, look at your family tree/geneology.
