I have been working especially hard on my girls list lately, it bothers me to not have a slew of girls names I'm head over heels with in the way I am with boys.. I have a few combo's in mind! Opinions?

Emma Caroline / Emma Briar
Madeleine Briar
Marley Jane
Riley Emerson
Riley Abigail
Riley Charlotte
Riley Gwen
Emerson Violet
Lily Cadence
Evie Caroline
Lyra ___

And I have three boys names that have been intriguing me. Thoughts? :)

I have the same problem as you! Billions of boy names, not many girl names!

Emma Caroline - This is beautiful! it flows wonderfuly
Emma Briar - LOVE LOVE LOVE! Briar balances out the girlyness of Emma and Emma makes Briar more feminine!
Madeleine Briar - Cute
Marley Jane - Not a fan of Marley. Mostly because of a Christmas Carol. I love Jane, though! Jane Briar would be cute :)
Riley Emerson - I like this a lot, but I prefer Riley on boys.
Riley Abigail - I like this a lot, but, like I said, I prefer Riley on boys. Abigail balances it out, though. it's pretty.
Riley Charlotte - Cute! again with the Riley thing, though, haha
Riley Gwen - I don't like Gwen
Emerson Violet - Pretty! it makes Emerson more girly!
Lily Cadence - It's alright. I'm not a huge fan of either name.
Evie Caroline - Not a fan of Evie
Lyra ___ - Cute, but not my style
Hazel ____ - don't like Hazel. It seems dated.

Emma Caroline- This combo gets my vote as I think it flows better than Emma Briar. I like a short name teamed with longer one
Madeleine Briar- Beautiful, I really love Madeleine!
Riley Emerson- This Riley version gets my vote because I think it flows the best and Emerson is such an underated name.
Emerson Violet- love the nn Emme.
Lily Cadence- My lease favourite combo because for me Lily just doesn’t Flow off my tongue too well (I know im probably the only person).
Lyra- I love this name (it’s a circus apparatus too, maybe that’s why I love it so much?!) Lyra Elisabeth, Lyra Simone, Lyra Willow
Hazel- NMS- Hazel Jane, Hazel Catherine, Hazel Etienne.

Cedar and Baron=nms
Ridge I kinda like, I prefer Reid/Reed. I think Lyra and Ridge or Lyra and Reid would be a fab sib set!

Riley Emerson
Riley Abigail
Riley Charlotte
Riley Gwen
Emerson Violet
Lily Cadence
Evie Caroline
Lyra ___
Hazel ____

And I have three boys names that have been intriguing me. Thoughts? :)
Cedar
Baron
Ridge


Emma Caroline / Emma Briar:

I prefer Emma Briar (I think I had it on my list for about a day. :P) But I know you love Caroline so they are both beautiful.
Madeleine Briar:

This name is adorable but at the same time it would age really well. :)
Marley Jane:

I know a Marlee (well, she's my friends friend and I don't speak to that friend anymore and that friend doesn't speak to Marlee anymore. Confusing.) so it's kind of tainted for me. But the flow is great.
Riley Emerson:

This one is just slightly too unisex for my tastes. Riley Emilia would be gorgeous though, I'm not sure if you like Emilia or not.
Riley Abigail:

I've never been a fan of Abigail. I'm not sure why... And someone told me I should be named Abigail once. Anyway, the flow is good.
Riley Charlotte:

This one is a great contrast between girly and unisex. <3
Riley Gwen:

This one is also great. <3 <3
Emerson Violet:

Again, great girly-notgirly ratio going on. And the nickname potentials for Emerson is great! :)
Lily Cadence:

You know how I feel about Lily <3 <3 Lily Cadence is adorable
Evie Caroline:

:D I love this one. <3
Lyra ___:

I really like Lyra on your list (which is weird because it's not one I would usually like) it just seems so YOU and I can picture a little mini you with mikes hair & eyes named Lyra. Suggestions will be below
Hazel ____:

Again, Hazel isn't one I love usually (although it is nice) but on your list it's so pretty. :) Suggestions down there vvv


Out of these boys names I can really only picture Cedar as a middle name. Baron just reminds me of rich fat men from medieval times (I read too many medieval books, right now I'm reading world without end and watching Game of Thrones simultaneously. ;) so don't mind me.) Ridge would be alright though, maybe as a substitute for Ryan?
Cedar
Baron
Ridge


Lyra Eloise
Lyra Piper
Lyra Poppy
Lyra Clementine
Lyra Elisabeth/Elizabeth
Lyra Zoey
Lyra Mabel
Lyra Emmeline
Lyra Penelope
Lyra Phoebe
Lyra Victoria

Hazel Emma / Emma Hazel
Hazel Emerson
Hazel Caroline
Hazel Olivia
Hazel Piper

Arrgh. I'm so bad at suggestions, I tried to pick ones that I knew either you or Mike liked.

I'm having the exact same problem! So many boys, but hardly any on the girls side...so frustrating!

Emma Caroline / Emma Briar: I love them both! I think that Emma Caroline has a slightly better flow though.
Madeleine Briar: My favorite! Madeleine is gorgeous especially when paired with a simple and sweet name like Briar.
Marley Jane: Not a huge fan of Marley. Jane is classic though. Maybe Briar Jane, Emma Jane, Emerson Jane?..
Riley Emerson: I agree that this one is too unisex. I like both of these names but think that they need to be paired with something more girly.
Riley Abigail: Not a huge fan of Abigail, but this name works.
Riley Charlotte: Love Charlotte! It really balances out the unisex of Riley.
Riley Gwen: This is okay. I just feel like Gwen is missing something. Riley Guinevere is cute..or Gwendolyn Riley
Emerson Violet: Love it! Perfect balance of girly and unisex!
Lily Cadence: Lily is adorable, not completely sold on Cadence though.
Evie Caroline: So cute. Evie is absolutely beautiful!
Lyra ___ : I'm not sure about Lyra, I just don't think it's my style. But I could definitely see it being adorable on someone else's baby. :)
Hazel ____: Hazel is very cute, but again don't think I would ever use it.


Cedar: I could see this as a possible middle. It has a nice nature feel to it.
Baron: At first I thought it said Bacon, that might just be the hunger talking lol. But Baron isn't bad it's very surname-y (if that's a word)
Ridge: Ridge isn't bad either, I also see this more as a middle name though.

Emma Caroline / Emma Briar - I love Emma Caroline
Madeleine Briar - Madeleine is my favorite. Briar i have bad associations with since I went to school with a girl named Briar and we didnt get along.
Marley Jane - Marley Jane flows well and I like it
Riley Emerson - Too gender neutral since both can go either way.
Riley Abigail & Riley Charlotte - These I like how the gender neutral and girly combine.
Riley Gwen - to short for my taste. Altho they flow well.
Emerson Violet - Again I like the girly with gender neutral it works well.
Lily Cadence - Love Lily, not a fan of Cadence.
Evie Caroline - I love Caroline but Evie is a little nicknamey to me.
Lyra ___ - I'm not a fan of Lyra
Hazel ____ - How about Hazel Charlotte?

And I have three boys names that have been intriguing me. Thoughts? :)
Cedar
Baron
Ridge

These arent my style. But according to BtN:
Cedar is a feminine english name.
Baron is a masculine title of nobility used as given name. Theres a Hebrew phrase Bar Aaron, which means "son of Aaron"
Ridge is a masculine name of english and popular culture origins. Meaning beautiful river.

Emma Caroline / Emma Briar - I prefer Emma Caroline. Such a pretty combo! Briar is more of a word to me than a name. It sounds a little childish, in my opinion.

Madeleine Briar - As I mentioned before, I personally dislike Briar. Madeleine is lovely though!

Marley Jane - Marley is too masculine for me, but Jane is lovely.

Riley Emerson / Riley Abigail / Riley Charlotte / Riley Gwen - Of these three combos, I think Riley Emerson has the best flow. However, since both Riley and Emerson are unisex, I think this combo sounds a little too androgynous. In which case I'd go with either Riley Abigail or Riley Charlotte, since both Abigail and Charlotte are clearly feminine. Riley Gwen doesn't have the best flow, in my opinion.

Emerson Violet - I think Violet Emerson has the better flow. Both names are nice though.

Lily Cadence - Pretty! The only think I don't like about this is that both names are word names. Otherwise, it's lovely.

Evie Caroline - So cute!

Lyra June
Lyra Josephine
Lyra Maeve
Lyra Millicent
Lyra Penelope
Lyra Juliet
Lyra Dawn
Lyra Noelle
Lyra Paige
Lyra Summer
Lyra Daphne
Lyra Persephone

Hazel Colleen
Hazel Christine
Hazel Gwyneth
Hazel Amelia
Hazel Rebecca
Hazel Charlotte
Hazel Athena
Hazel Corisande
Hazel Imogen
Hazel Winter
Hazel Maren
Hazel Penelope

Cedar - I'm not a fan, but I suppose it could work.

Baron - I think of this more as a title than a name.

Ridge - I actually met a kid named Ridge once. I think it's cute, but more of a guilty pleasure in my opinion.
