Help with middle names
| Thu, 08-05-2004 - 8:13pm |
Hi there! My name is Kelley (Kelleen Ann) and my husband is Chris (Christian Perry). We have 2 girls, Haley Marissa(10) and Laken Alissa(5). We did not try to rhyme the girls middle names it just worked out that way. We are not expecting yet but hope to be soon. I love looking at different names. We have had the name Hayden picked out since the very beginning but as you can see we haven't had the oppertunity to use it. Do you think it would blend too much with the other names? -Ha- from Haley and the -en- from Laken. Does it sound okay or is it too close? I love Gracie for a girl. Any suggestions on middle names for either boy or girl names we like (nothing rhyming with the other middle names above). My husband likes Hayden Mitchell but I really dislike the name Mitchell. Last name starts with a B. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks, Kelley

As far as the middle name, if you don't like Mitchell, maybe Hayden Michael or Hayden Matthew? I also like Hayden Christopher, Hayden Timothy, and Hayden William.
Other boys' names you may consider b/c they have a similar sound/style to Hayden: Brekin, Colin, Dawson, Donovan, Holden, Ian, Jackson, Justin, Keegan, Kenton, Kieran, Mason, Nolan, Owen, Parker, Rowan (though, very unisex now), Tristan.
For girls, Gracie is cute, but I think it's sounds a lot more old-fashioned than your other girls' names, which are more modern and less traditional. How about Macy as an alternative?
Other suggestions that I think would fit well with your other girls' names: Aubrey, Avery, Brinley, Courtney, Delaney, Devyn, Ellery, Sydney, Taylor, Taryn, Whitney.
Good luck!
Hope this helps!
I think that perhaps your answer has been in front of you all of the time. I have noticed the Y which set Hayden in a class of his own although he may share similiar sounds and letters with his sisters. HTH IMHO Hayden is a very nice name and I can see how it fits so well. As for the mn of Mitchell it is rather odd with Hayden which means a hedged valley. Use your special feminine wiles to redirect ydh decision. Although Mitchell means the same thing as Michael. It's that strong ch sound that had me and it don't seem to float well with Hayden.
