Opinions, please

We have some friends who now have two daughters: Hannah Kathleen and Addison Rebecca.

They kept both names a SECRET until the birth announcements went out. When Hannah's came, I was totally unimpressed and kind of disappointed. I thought it was the most boring name EVER to have been such a big secret. I don't like Hannah OR Kathleen (though the little girl makes up for it she's so durn cute!). I LOVE the name Addison though, and I like Rebecca just fine, but I'm not sure they go together that well...all in all I thought Addison was more worthy of surprising everyone.

I'm keeping our baby's name a secret too. My husband and I really don't want to hear anyone's opinions about a name that we thought long and hard about. I mean, we are not going to change our mind about it and if they say anything negative about it, it will just make me mad..so why go through the drama? I kept my son's name a secret too and everything went perfectly :) However, we did tell his family the gender (a girl).
Personally, I love the name Hannah, although it is just way too popular for my tatse (I try to stay away from the top 10 names) but I was never a big fan of the name Addison. It just doesn't sound very feminine to me.
