Friday afternoon fun: Baby names (with clicky poll)
Because we all like clicky polls. 
So we think we've narrowed possible baby names down to our top 3. But we probably won't commit to a single one until after her birth. The middle name will be Elizabeth. Most of you have seen my lastname but may not know exactly how to say it, but the first syllable is "Chris" (and the -e is silent).
Here are your choices: Samantha, Alexandra, and Hannah. While I like Hannah, I don't think it's the "one" but DH still likes it so we'll keep it on. For me it is probably between Samantha and Alexandra. Unless we randomly come up with something else in the next 2.5 months.

Re: Friday afternoon fun: Baby names (with clicky poll)
Hannah... because you were married during the storm. We joked about DD being Hannah Irene (if I went into labor during that hurricane).
I like them all though. All classic names... and middle name is great too (it's also my middle name
I like all of those names. I chose Samantha because I eliminated Hannah since you said you were leaning against it right now. Then, I eliminated Alexandra because I like Samantha better with Elizabeth (which I LOVE and very much want to use in some way if we have a daughter). I like them all with your last name.
P.S. I love girl names. Boy names are so much harder for me.

I voted Hannah only because of TS Hanna that hit on our wedding day.
My true fav is Alexandra, though.
Spinoff question for you, Holly.
Would you have a preferred a nickname for any of those?
Also, Kara, I love Alexa

I didn't vote. I love all of them! I just can't decide.
I'd probably put them on my girl list except we've had a girl name picked out since before P was born.

For Samantha we'd probably call her Sam or Sammy from time to time. I would primarily call her Samantha, unless she decides she really wants to be called by a nickname.
Same for Alexandra; I'd primarily call her that. There's a lot of nicknames that could work: Ali, Alex, Alexa, Lexi, Andi/Andy/Andie. I don't have my heart set on any of them, though I think Andi is quite cute for a little girl.
My brother is Andrew (not Andy or Drew) so I'm not sure if he's like that or not.
If we went with Hannah I don't think she'd have a nickname.
I chose Samantha because I love the name Sammy.
Side note: Alexa, nn Lexi is my choice for a girls name if my next u/s confirms it's a girl for sure.
CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
I voted Samantha - it's my top choice, Samantha Danielle, if our next one is a girl.
Hannah Elizabeth was Levi's name if he'd been a girl.
