Catarina and Lilian
I talked to Craig last night about names a little. He's agree to Miles Owen, which I can live with for now with the nn Mo (if only from me). Also, he's agreed to find something else instead of Caitlin and came up with Catarina, which I am not sure how I feel. I think Rina would be cute nn, because its a little long, and a little hard for me to pn. But also, I would one a one-syllable mn, and not a fan of such names for girls.He also mentioned Lilian (which I would prefer Lillian), but I loathe the nn Lily - he seemed to like it but offered Lil. Then mentioned it was too Rugrats. So he offered Liliana, which I find too cutesy and feminine for my tastes.
Anyway, what do you think?Miles Owen "Mo"
Catarina *if I can find a one-syllable mn* "Rina"
Lilian / Lillian / Liliana

I love Catarina and much prefer it over Caitlin. Liliana is gorgeous imo. Lillian is nice but not really my style.

I love them both! Kitty or Cat are good nicknames for Catarina imo, Rina is fine.Lilian / Lillian is much better than Liliana, much more enduring. I personally like both Lily and Lil, but what about Lilla? It's easy to say as a nn.Miles Owen is a good combo, not convinced on nn Mo.

Catarina is lovely and Rina is adorable, though I much prefer it spelled Katarina or Katerina. Lilian is beautiful, and this is my preferred spelling. I love Liliana as well, and I do love the nickname Lily for both.I can't stand Miles or Mo, sorry. Owen is very nice.

I loooove Catarina. Katarina is one of my top names. I like the nn Rina, though I use Kat or Kata. Kit is another option I'm considering as well, if any of those interest you.Miles Owen is nice, though nothing I'd use. Neither are my style, but they make a very nice sounding combination.I really dislike Liliana. Lillian and Lilian are lovely though, and I think you can avoid both Lil and Lily if you wanted.

Catarina and Lilian are both very pretty to me. I like 'Rina' much better than 'Cat', and I prefer it to Lilian. Even though I love the name Lily, I can see how you don't. I'd go for Catarina.
