Waiting for that "aHA! That's IT!" name moment...

I'm about six months pregnant with what the doctors are pretty sure is a girl.

Here is my list of names...But whether or not I still like them changes on a day to day basis (Hellooo, pregnancy hormones). I'd appreciate feedback, especially on whether some of them are TOO overused or TOO old-fashioned. My husband is providing minimal feedback in this area, so I've given up on his opinions. ;) The middle name will most likely be Jo or Elizabeth, but keep in mind that that's subject to change depending on if the husband decides to speak up or not.

Caitlyn (As long as no one calls her Caity) - Meaning: Pure
Violet - Meaning: Purple flower
Allison (Allie would be the preferred nickname here) - Meaning: Noble, kindness
Annabelle - Meaning: Grace, favor
Aurora (With the nickname Rory...Is that too pretentious?) - Meaning of Aurora: Dawn; Meaning of Rory: Red king o_O? That would work well with my father-in-law being that he looks like a redheaded Santa Claus (And the last name's King)...
Lainey - Meaning: Torch, bright light

Hm...Or now that I think about it, any other names that would result in the nickname of Rory? I kinda like that. :)

Many here, myself included, feel that if you can't handle a nickname, don't pick a name that will lead to it. Parents simply don't have as much control over their kids' nicknames as they'd like... in many cases, it's little to NO control.

If Caity is that much of an issue to you, I wouldn't use Caitlyn.

I can understand that COMPLETELY. Caity/Katie/Caty is just too popular a name for me...And I have some bad correlations with that name. I know that there's no way to stop people from calling my child that, unfortunately.

Thanks! :)

I don't know. My five year old cousin is named Joshua, and everyone is pretty well "trained" not to call him Josh. Even he insists that, no, his name is Joshua not Josh. So, it's certainly possible. I just call him Josué instead.

Your icon is super cool, by the way.
