I'm 7 months pregnant and I want to have a better idea of what name to name my baby girl. I have a tons of books on baby names, but don't have one idea. I'm not great at making choices so I think I should get some help. I'd appreciate it if the name wasn't something crazy!! :-)
Thanks!!

When you hold her in your arms for the first time, a name will come to you and that's what she should be called.
And by the way - why does the baby's race matter when chosing a name? Did you think you'd get some people who say something ignorant like "Laquisha" or "Shantifa" just because you said the baby was African-American? Or like, if you specified Caucasian, people would say "Brittney" or "Caitlin"?
Race doesnt matter! A baby is a beautiful thing no matter what color her skin is. And you should name her whatever wonderful name you see fit when you see her little face for the first time.
Good luck!

I agree with other posters, I really don't think it matters what race the baby is.
If you're wanting an African sounding name, which African country do you have ties to? (It would make it a lot easier because there are soooo many languages there!)
I looked up some African names and I have to warn you that some have "strange" meanings, as in, "Why would you name a baby that?" I put stars next to the African names I like.
Egyptian
-Dendera - from Dendera **
-Eshe - Life
-Femi- Love
Ghanaian
-Efia Ghanaian - born on Tuesday
-Kessie - fat at birth
Nigerian
-Akanke -To know her is to love her
-Alike - Girl who drives out beautiful women
-Sade - honor confers a crown **
Swahili
-Binti - Daughter
Shani - marvelous
-Zahara - flower **
Ugandan
-Dembe - peace
-Kissa - born after twins
-Miremba - peace
Personally, I like Greek, Hebrew and Italian names. I'm really into the meaning behind the name, not something that sounds cool but means something ridiculous (Like some lady on another forum wanted to namer her daughter the British word for "wart.")
Greek
-Alethea - Truthful
-Daphne - Laurel
-Dora - A gift
-Katherine - Pure
-Sophia - Wisdom
Italian
-Bella - Beautiful
-Gianina - God is gracious
-Isabella - Consecrated to God.
-Tessa - Countess
Hebrew
-Abigail - My father's joy
-Elizabeth -Consecrated to God
-Gabriella - God is my strength
-Hadassa (Esther from the Bible's real name) - flowering myrtle
Good Luck :-)

Laila / Layla / Leila. Comes from Persian, means "night" or born at night or something like that. I always thought it was pretty and exotic, not too common, yet not way out there either. This is kind of weird, but I've also always liked Ryan for a girl. You can mix up the spelling but I think it sounds pretty. Anyway, whatever you choose I'm sure will be lovely -- and congrats!

I like the name of Debbie and Jackie for an african-american baby girl. They are both cute and strong names. By the way, congratulations for your baby and hope everything goes well with the baby ;o)

I like the name Ebony Nicole. It's not just because of her color, but it is a beautiful name.
