Special mentions to Evelyn, a name that I didn't realize was so darn popular until my dear friend Michelle used it for her little bird!

  1. Ella is adorable and I love Emerson :) I know an Emerson who goes by Emmy

  2. Eleanor is currently my top favorite girls name. Partially because of the nickname Ellie. I'm not sure if I'd be able to convince Justin to go with that name though. I don't think we are going to seriously discuss names until we know the gender though.
    I had no clue Evelyn was so popular either, but that is the name of my niece. We call her Evie though.

  3. I remember your sister choosing that name. She was the second person I knew of that used Evelyn! I was really surprised. E names are super awesome. Really, most vowel names are. The A names are really popular right now.

    I love nicknames a lot, so I love Emmy and Evie! I liked Emerson because of the nickname, but Steve wouldn't go for it in a million years.
