    Okay, I finally feel like we have a short enough list that I am ready to post for help. Every once in a while we add something new, but I think we have our finalists. We had such a hard time agreeing on a name for our son but eventually got down to 2 (Nathan and Austin) and said we would pick after we saw him. I think that is what we are going to do with our girls too - maybe narrow it down to two sets and figure it out there, but I was curious what people thought. (And BTW, haven't even considered middle names yet - that is a whole other ballgame)

    Here is the list:
    Addison
    Cailyn
    Camryn
    Hailey
    Molly
    Reese

    Here is my gut feel on top combos out of those but open to others suggestions:
    1) Reese and Hailey (Reese is my maiden name so I feel sentimental about naming my daughter that, but on the other hand it doesn't sound super feminine to me so struggle with it a little bit)
    2) Hailey and Molly (Is this too "twinny", rhymy, cutesy? I can't tell.)
    3) Reese and Molly

    Thanks for your help :)

    I love Reese and Hailey! That is adorable :)

    I also like Cailyn and Camryn.

    I don't like Addison - it sounds too harsh to me to be a little girl's name!

    I LOVE the name Reese. I know someone that named her little girl that and she gets compliments all of the time. She is about 9 months old now. I think it's feminine. Look at Reese Witherspoon. She's VERY feminine!!
    AND...........I'm partial to Molly because I have a Mollie. So, I like 3!!

    I like Reese. I have heard it more as a girl's name. And it is part of your heritage. I would go for it. Addison would be my other choice.

    I also think you should use Reese, but for the other name you should find another family name or a name with special meaning. It's not fair to give on a name that has special meaning for you and the other one a name that you "just liked to sound of." When they are a little older, they will ask why you choose their names. When choosing baby names you should always keep that in mind, what will I tell them when they ask me why I chose this name?

    I like the way Hailey and Cailyn sound together. I love Reese too but more masculine, it would be a nice mn with either tho. Good luck! Kamryn is really popular this year, we are using it and I've heard it so many times now!! Yikes! But of course I love it.

    Reese and Hailey:
    Love both! I think that after Reese Witherspoon, Reese is very much a "girl" name now.

    Hailey and Molly:
    The double "lee" sounds are bugging me, but cute names.

    Reese and Molly:
    I actually prefer this to Reese and Hailey, I think the names go together better.
