My daughter is expecting a baby girl any day and if I got to choose, I would name her Rossie…after my wonderful grandmother! But…I don’t get to choose.

I love the name Elizabeth for a baby girl because there are so many nicknames she can grow into.
My babies are Jordan and Meghan… So those are my favorite ;)
One of my favorite names is Xander. It was a way of using his great, great, great grandfather’s name without being named directly after him like so many uncles, cousins, etc.
I’ve always thought the name Davis Anne was pretty – but there’s so many sweet baby names these days! Hard to choose!
When I did substitute teaching in Kindergarten Classes, my favorite names were the simple ones, easy for the kids to learn all the letters!! My children have simple names that relate to their grandparents in some way! Thanks Michele for all the hard work you do!
Well my favorite baby name is Zoey she is my little 8 week old grand daughter! She would look great in a stripped dress made with ladybugs! Hope I win, I always vote!
My favorite baby name is Madison :) My children are grown with children of their own, but if I had been blessed with a second little girl, her name would have been Madison.
Emily is my favorite name for a girl and Andy for a boy. I work in a neonatal ICU and I see ll sorts of names but the simple ones are the ones you remember.
My favorite girl name is Rhianna.
I would have used Bethany for a girl, but was blessed with a Joel.
I love the name Simon
We always had Joshua picked out for a boy’s name but then when we did have a boy he didn’t look like a Joshua so we chose another.

My newest granddaughter is named Lily and I love that name. It is simple and create a nice picture in your mind.
I have so many favorite names (I used 4 of them for my children). I seem to lean towards the old fashioned names. I really like the name Anna and Jacob. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I like “Mikey” for a girl. I know I’ve had others but can’t think of them now.
my favorite name is my youngest sons, Elloit. it is never forgotten and either is he.

I love Elizabeth. Hence my daughter is Lara Elizabeth. My sons name is Thomas which I love for its strength and confidence
My favourite name for a baby girl is Rebecca.
wow – favorite name! Great question. I would have to say I’m partial to Mercedi, Capri and Persimoni for girls (if they would have been boys it was Charlie, Oscar and George). If I were to magically have another one I always like the name Lyla.
Jessica has always been my favorite for a girl. I only have 3 boys and no girls.
Eden and Bethany are my favorite baby names and the names of my babies.
For a girl I love Daphne and for a boy I love my sons name, Desmond.

Russell
Too many to narrow it down to one special name! Lydia for a girl name and Toby for a boy, among thousands of others!

Just started a quilt for my very first grandchild. It’s a boy and he lives with his parents in Germany *sigh* His name is Henry

My favorite baby’s name is Clara. It is a nice old fashioned name. I had two boys so didn’t get to use. it.

I’m biased but I love AnneMarie :)
My favorite girl name is Katie Marie and my favorite boy name is William Lawson…
My favorite baby girl name is: Carina

it since.
I like traditional names, David, Daniel, Rebecca, Anne, Doris, easy to spell and pronounce
