Hi all! I had a very unusual name come to me when I was sleeping. It feels so right if I have a boy but I am not sure that I like it. Let me know what you think:

Spencer Pearson Middleton(Pearson means son of peter...my hubby's name)

Also which girls name do you like better? The middle name is my mother's who passed in June of 2004. So it's in her memory.

Ella Janette Middleton
VS.
Ava Janette Middleton

Thanks for your help!!

I don't mind Spencer Pearson - my nephews name is Pierson.

I like both Ella and Ava so I'm not any help to you there.

I love Spencer Pearson, it flows so well. Spencer is not really my style, but it is a great name, and Pearson is so cool because it has meaning for you and dh. I have to be honest both of your girls names are to popular for me, Ava especially. Ella seems like a nn to me, but I would choose it over Ava because of the popularity of Ava right now.

I like Spencer Pearson. It's a little tongue twisty with your last name but it would work. Spencer Middleton goes well together. As far as your girls names, I have to agree with the pp who said that Ava is just way too popular for me now. Ella is better but not my style. Janette is nice though and goes with alot of different names. If you like Ava then go for it. Just know that it is extremely popular!

Spencer is a great choice, what a great name to dream about! Imagine if your dream had been about Elmer or Horatio or something.

Ella and Ava are really NMSAA. Both are insanely popular and Ella is a nn for so many other names (Gabriella, Isabella, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Elena, etc etc) that I don't like it much as a stand alone fn.

Good luck!

I really like Spencer. Actually, I love all the names you have picked out. Between Ella and Ava, I prefer Ava as I think its a GORGEOUS name and so classy. Lots of people on this board say its becoming popular, but (besides celebrity babies) I have yet to hear of an Ava.
