It's a Girl! Now We Need a Name

You will be able to change your vote.


I voted for Isla, though I have always heard this pronounced Eye-la. How would you pronounce Isabella: Ee-sa-bella or Is-a-bella? Scarlett was my second favorite on your list. You might also like Iris Mae.
Good luck,
Brooke
I would have veted Isla in a heartbeat if it had been pronounced EYE-la, but the EES-la pronucication is really unattractive to my ears.
Otherwise I think Piper and Scarlett are both very nice. Isis is okay, but a little too linked to the Egyptian godess, I think like the pp mentioned that Iris is a lovely alternative.
Isabella, Kenzie and Kayla are all so overdone. Considering the boldness of some of your other choices, I don't think any of these three are for you.
I voted for Piper because I like it the most of the first name - Piper Jade is fine - Piper Mae is OK if it's honoring someone (otherwise I don't like Mae at all) - but I definitely do not like it both middles
my 2nd choice would be Kiana - I'd like that better with Jade too - Kiana Jade - Mae, only as I said above, if it's a family name
good luck
AJ, enjoying life with C.

I went with Scarlett for now, as it seems to be a good balance of familiar and bold, per the rest of your list (some very common/over-used, and some much less so). I would have voted for Isla with the proper Scottish pronunciation in a heartbeat, but I've never heard the Spanish "Eesla" pronunciation used as a name (and frankly don't care for that sound nearly as much).
My second choices would be Isis or Piper from your list (though I wouldn't use both Jade and Mae together as mns).
Kenzie, Kiana, Kaylie and Isabella are all incredibly trendy and/or over-used. Doesn't seem to be the feel you were going for, so I'd avoid them.
You may also like Aila/Ayla or Isidora/Isadora (literally translates to "gift of Isis," seems a great compromise of Isis and Isabella -- both on your list -- and you could use Isis or even Isla, among others, as nns, if you wanted). ;)

Piper Jade Mae - okay. Prefer only one mn
Kenzie Mae - okay, a bit trendy
Kiana Mae - too trendy /madeup, lacks class
Isis Mae - beautiful, love it. You may also like Iris
Kaylie Mae - way too cutesy and trendy, really dislike it
Scarlett Mae- GORGEOUS, so classy and spunky
Isabella Mae - okay, a bit common lately
Isla Mae- LOVE Isla, but you have the pronunciation wrong- it is "eye-luh"

I voted for Scarlett but I really like most of the names on your list.
