Name Crisis

[BeccaMichelle]

Me and hubby have always had a really hard time deciding on a name.. I thought we had had one sorted but off and on he has said "I'm not really sure about the name Michelle" and then the other morning when he got out of the shower he had decided he was against it now...

So now he's leaning towards Jessica but the 2008 name ranking shows it at #5! I really don't want her to have to deal with 5 other girls with the same name in her class. I like Callista. Nickname Callie. Not sure the best way to spell it though. Seems that traditionally it's with one L. Calista, but I've always had it in my head that it had 2 Ls. What do you guys think?

Thanks!

I voted Jessica. I think its a very pretty name and I like the shortened name Jessie aswell.

Thanks it helps a little that Jessica is only ranked 59th in America and we do plan to move back before she's school aged... so maybe the fact that it's so popular in Britain won't be that much of a problem??

I like Calista spelt either way, but I would naturally spell it with 1 L.

I voted Jessica - I don't know of too many little girls with this name - in fact just 1 in the last couple of years.

Thanks for all the feedback so far everybody!!

Looks like Jessica seems to be winning at the moment. I made the mistake of asking my parents what they thought yesterday. I know the rule... don't ask if you don't want them to say anything negative... it's just that their opinion matters.. I guess I was just hoping that they'd both like both of them and then I could happily choose.

Turns out Mom thinks Jessica is too common and Dad doesn't like Callista at all!! *sigh* hubby says not to worry about it, as whatever we decide on they'll come around to.. and I know they will.. it's just being pregnant and hormonal. *sigh*

So right now we're at Jessica Michelle or Callista MacKenzie. I'm starting to think that we may go for Jessica and then if we have a second girl she can be Callie.. hopefully my dad will have had some time to come around by then? I hate trying to decide on a name!! on top of that the GPs called the other day and asked if I wanted the swine flu shot... I have no idea!! Too many decisions! I want to stick my head in the sand!
