UNIQUE Baby Name Please!! (I have to have two middle names... just because :-P )



  • Jadeyn Bonnie Joylynn (Bonnie is my deceased Grandma's name)
  • Arielle Cherice Brina
  • Chevelle Paris Johannah (Chevelle and Paris are family names)
  • Paris Cherice Amberlynn
  • Johannah Paris Amberlynn
  • Give a different combination suggestion!


You will not be able to change your vote.

I voted for Arielle Cherise Brina. I really like this name though I am assuming you pronounce the last name Brin-uh not Brine-uh. In which case, I would change the spelling to Brinna or Brynna to indicate that because otherwise I think it will be mispronounced.

I like some of your other options, but I had a hard time with some of the combinations for a couple of reasons. First, I think that if you are going to have two middle names (which I am not at all opposed to) then you need to not also have one of those names be a compound name (Amber/Lynn, Joy/Lynn). Not that I have anything against those names, but by using them, you in effect have FOUR names and that just seems over the top to me. The name keeps going and going and going. ;)

I understand that Chevelle is a family name, and I generally love using family names but I immediately associate this with the car and I don't like names that are also cars. If you really want to use it, I'd use it as a middle name.

Paris is nice, though not an absolute favorite of mine. However since you specifically said you were looking for something unique, I'd steer you away from Paris because Paris Hilton has made it a little trendy. Again, because of the family connection, you might want to consider it as a middle name.

Jadeyn - this spelling may be unique, but this name is far from unique. In fact, its incredibly popular right now. The Aiden/Jaden/Hayden/Caden/etc grouping is the number one more popular group of names for boys. There are 33 variations of this rhyme in the top 1000. AND many of them (especially Jaden) are becoming very popular for girls. On top of that, you've also got a huge number of similar but not quite rhyming names, including the three fastest-rising names for girls: Cadence/Kadence/Kaydence. I really like some of these names, but again since you specifically said you are looking for a unique name, I strongly advise you not to use something in this grouping.

I actually really like Johannah Paris as a combination, but I'm not a huge fan of Amberlynn (especially in light of what I said earlier about compound names). It's definitely my second choice though. Perhaps Johannah Paris Chevelle or Johannah Paris Cherice?

I hope that is helpful! Good luck. :)

I voted for Arielle Cherise Brina. IMO I just think it flows the best. I gave both my girls 2 mns for significant reasons (not just because) but the names really do have to flow well and not spell anything bad/embarrassing.

I love the name Jadeyn (not this spelling though) as its my dd's name, Jaiden, but Jadeyn Bonnie just dont go together at all. I gave my Jaiden my moms name, Mary, as her 2 mn. Perhaps giving her a different mn with your grandmas name would be a much better fit. Or since just said you want to mn 'just because'(which I would highly advoid doing unless you are honoring someone or has very special meaning to you) than coming up with different combos, such as:

Jadeyn Alexa Bonnie
Jadeyn Cherice Lynn
Jadeyn Cherice Chevelle
Jadeyn Arielle Paris

Best Wishes,

I decided I wanted two middles names because I've just always wanted two middle names for my children. My Grandmother was the only one in my family to have two middle names and she was the one I loved the most in my family. I guess you could call that my reasoning. This was kind of my first attempt at putting names together so all the advice ya'll are giving me is very helpful. I really liked your combination of Jadeyn Arielle Paris. I like the spelling Jadeyn because it's the stone JADE and then the ending YN. Arielle in my opinion is pronounced AR-Y-ELLE. And Paris is my Great-Great Grandmothers name who lived until 102 years old.

And to the other message, just to clarify, I pronounce Johannah as JO-HON-NAH.
