Help with unusual name.
| Thu, 01-06-2005 - 8:28am |
I am preconception and would like some help with names.
You see everytime I come up with a name I like, I find that it is very popular, or people just don't know how to pronounce it.
The list thus far is:
Boys:
Triston Mikeal
Micah Zuriel
Trever Kane
Girls:
Rakayla Ruth
La' Shayna Mabel
Tatiana Sage
The thing is my last name is German and is 9 letter long, so I need some major help with names that go good with the last name, and there can not be two middle names. Found out with first dd that isn't a good idea.
Do not like " popular and usual spellings" of names is what DH has told me.
Thanks..

Boys:
Triston Mikeal- LOVE IT!!!
Micah Zuriel- Think that is my fav if you have a long name. How about Micah Kane?! Even shorter? :)
Trever Kane- I personally don't like Trever no matter how you spell it, but like Kane
Girls:
Rakayla Ruth - Pretty...maybe too many R's. How about Rakayla Sage? That is pretty!
La' Shayna Mabel- Too long in my opinion, if you have a long name. Maybe just Shayna? That is really pretty and would be my fav if you can do that?
Tatiana Sage- Nah...nms, but like Sage.

I love the name Micah. Definately think you should choose that name. If my husband and I didn't have such a strongly Polish last name, I would choose that name myself. For girls, I like Tatiana Sage. For a nickname, you could call her Tate, which I think is sooo cute. My little sister gave her daughter the middle name Mabel and has got no positive responses, even though it's a middle name, not first. So, I don't recommend using Mabel, unless you have a family reason for it.
Best of luck!

Here's what I think about the names you have...
Boys:
Triston Mikeal (I like the middle name & spelling, but Triston, as much as it's popularity for boy names keeps growing, I still think of Kristen.)
Micah Zuriel (I knew a boy named Micah and I love that name, Zuriel is great with it too).
Trever Kane (I knew a guy named Trevor and couldn't stand him, though I do like Kane too).
Girls:
Rakayla Ruth (I love Rakayla and Ruth, but as somebody else said, maybe too many R's, maybe Rakayla Sage or something else could flow a little better).
La' Shayna Mabel (La'Shayna is okay, not my fav. I do like Shayna a little better. Shayna Rianne sounds cute to me. There's a Mabel's Tavern in my city and it reminds me of "Mabel, Mable strong and able keep your elbows off the table".) Little saying we said growing up.
Tatiana Sage (I've always loved Tatiana or even just Tiana is cute. TT could be a cute nickname for her. I like Sage with it too, but maybe Tatiana Ruth would work too... I really like that as well).
Are some of these family names that have special meaning that you're trying to incorporate? If so, I think that's great, and it could change some of my opinions. My daughter's middle name LaFaye is a combination of our mom's middle names (Lanora and Faye). I don't know what we'll choose for a middle name of this baby if it's a girl, but I definitely want to consider special family names.
I'm kind of in your boat on the name choosing situation. I'm white and my DH is black. We both wanted different names (not TOO common) but something that the kid can spell, teachers can pronounce and something not overly ethnic (but nothing too NOT either)... if any of that makes sense. I guess, in a sense we didn't want to name our DS Tupac. You know?
Our 3 year old daughter is named Tiara LaFaye and if this one is a girl we'll name her Trinity (we're sticking with TLH initials). If it's a boy then it'll be a junior "Terrance LaMonte" but we'll probably call him T.J. I had a girls list picked out for when I was pregnant with Tiara, but we settled pretty early on Tiara's name. We never made a boys list because we knew what we'd name our firstborn son. But I'll post my girls name list and try to think up some cute boys names (mostly of friends sons).
Some of these ones are kind of out there and some are kind of "ethnic" too. (That's just my style). I absolutely LOVE the girls name Olivia (eventhough it's getting a little too popular. I met a little mixed girl with that name and she was a cutie pie!).

Okay, here's some boy names I like:
Dante, Trenton, Torry (Torian), Damien, Tyler, Ajani, Lake, Nikko...
Good luck!!!
-Heather
I wanted to thank you all for the input. I do see where Rakayla Ruth may be too many R's but it is after DH's niece Makayla, and after my Mother, and a friend of mine Ruth.
I like the names that Heather suggested, I wanted something close to Malachi's middle name but the only thing I could think of is Zeriel (Elzer), at least for a boy and Ezra for a girl.
I am going to have a blood test when I return home from the trip I am on right now.
This will be my 6th child if I am..
The Four Earthly angels and Alexis Joan and Markus Alan..
Thanks again

While I love Tristan, it is very popular.
From your list I'm voting for Micah Zuriel & Tatiana Sage - great names!
