hello!! like the fact that youre honoring your hubby using his middle name-and sean s unisex-it sounds good on a boy and a girl...i like addison and callie for the first name, but with callie, i would use callista and call her callie for short. carson sean sounds too much like a boy to me-theres nothing feminine about it. jmo. take care!!

I'd go with Callie--either Addison or Carson becomes specifically male when combined with Sean.

I really like pairing a unisex name with an unltra feminine name. So my vote goes to Callie Sean.

Have you thought about Calla Sean, nn Callie? I just do not think that Callie will age as nicely as Calla. A girl loves options ;)

Other thoughts for the nn Callie:
Caroline Sean
Camille Sean
Camila Sean
Calista Sean

Good luck,
Brooke

Well, if you want my honest opinions:


Callie- Callie is adorable but I like it better as a nickname, with something more formal as the first name.


Addison- Addison, while becoming very popular, is the name of a disease. I also don't like any girl names that end in "-son". Also, Addison and Sean both end in "-n", which I think doesn't flow very well.


Carson- same problem as Addison, with both fn and mn ending in "-n". Also, as someone else already mentioned, Carson Sean sounds like a boy.


Honestly, even if your first child has your middle name as her middle name, I wouldn't use Sean as a girl's mn. I would use the feminization- Shawna, Shauna,

To be quite honest, the only one of those names doesn't scream masculinity to me is Callie. I'd use a feminine form of Sean for the middle name...Sheena, perhaps.
