ok, so i haven't been on with polls for myself in a while because i have been seriously debating what I really want to name this baby. I have reservations about all the names...so this is what i am feeling with all the names we are thinking of using.

Braxten - ANOTHER B...If we didn't have braidyn and brennan, braxten would be in the top three...still LOVE the name, but is it too much. And it is like Braxton hicks...but thaty doesn't bother me so much

Kieran / Kieryn - used to love the name, still do...but i have met a few and I feel like it is becoming too popular...what do you think

Keegan/ Keyghan - Love the name...right now. Right now i am loving this name, but will i be loving it in five years? I don't know if I can say this name 800 million times.

Deighan - love the name - but pronounciation and spelling will forever be a problem for him. Also I don't like a spelling ( Deegan ) that is easy to pronounce or spell.

Devon / Devin - Love the name and Is at the top of our list, but it is very very popular...possibly overdone... but I love it right now

Devlin/Devlyn - Love this name and it is similar to Devon but has a twist and is not as popular. But does it sound too feminine. Even though it is all boy... Will it be mispronounced , even though too me it seems like it can only be pronounced that way.

Tieghan/Teaghan - love the name, nn would be Tiegue ...is it a girl name...will it be mispronounced ?

Tiernan - What nn? Can i say this name forever...Is it a boy name to you?

Cameran - I love this name...DO NOT LIKE SPELLING CAMERON...it is not spelled like it is pronounced...I do not pronounce it CAM E RON - I pronounce it CAM RYN...How should i spell it ? It is also not Irish...should this matter

Riorden / Reardyn - Love this name but will it be misspelled and mispronounced constantly? But i really like this name
GIRLS
Kierstyn - love the name, have loved it for a long time, but now i kind of getting tired of it, and is it way over used ? Plus I only like it spelled like KIERSTYN or KIERSTYNN
What do you think?

Keely - Love it, but can i say KEY LEE ---- for the rest of her life...i don't know...

Kyndall - LOVE IT NOW< WILL I SOON ... i can just feel that I am going to regret using a name that is just popular right this minute, but doens't really have meaning to me. Like BRennan and Braidyn may seem trendy to some It means something to me and my family, I don't think Kyndall does... i think once it is nopt popular i may regret it.

Keelyn - Possibly a better choice then Keely b/c it souns more like a full name than a nn like keely does and can still call her keely.

Kaysen / Kaesyn - like the name, does it sound made up, will i like it forever, oes it go with Braidyn and Brennan?

ShyAnne - I love this name...I like the nick name Shy and I think it is a very adult name at the same time. Does it go with my boys names, they are completly different kinds of names... I don't know if i like this name more then any of the others

Shaelie / Shaylie - love this name - nn would be Shae - is shae not a girl nn, does it matter? Does it go with boys names...is it popular or overused?

Kamryn / Kameran - once again love the name but same problems as in the boys names

So these are my problems which is what is causing the problem in even causing me to come to a decision on a name...I really have no clue which name to pick for either boy or girl. I really really don't know anymore...I need help and Sean is no help b/c he just says he doesn't care anymore... he will love any of the names on the tentative list..which gives me no help at all...I need help...please help meeee...

Thanx in advance

Braxten - I agree, don't do it - too many B's, too close to Braxton Hicks...no positive side to this name.

Kieran / Kieryn - I've never met a Kieran.

Keegan/ Keyghan - Like the first spelling.

Deighan - NO, NO - no one will ever spell this correctly.

Devon / Devin - Devin is popular, but honestly it fits with the names of your other children and I think is of similar popularity to theirs, too.

Devlin/Devlyn - No way - I can't imagine an adult with this name.

Tieghan/Teaghan - This seems like a girl name now.

Tiernan - I have heard of Tierney for a girl but never have heard this one.

Cameran - Don't spell it this way - no one will ever get it right - but you do see girls with the Camryn spelling more now.

Riorden / Reardyn - I like the first spelling.
GIRLS
Kierstyn - Like it!

Keely - I know an adult with this name, and it seems like a nickname on her.

Kyndall - This one is ok. I actually like Kendall for a boy a lot!

Keelyn - so-so

Kaysen / Kaesyn - I know a 4 year old with this name. Everyone tries to call him Jason. And when I met him, it drove me nuts trying to figure out in my head how it is spelled...Cayson? Casen? Kaysen?

ShyAnne - I like Cheyenne better.

Shaelie / Shaylie - sounds made-up

Kamryn / Kameran - I like it spelled Camryn better.

Good luck - maybe this will help you narrow it down!
