Isabella - Love the name but I think it is overused and ultra feminine which is good and bad depending on what you are going for.

Ayla - This is okay. I'm not sure about the spelling but this spelling does accomplish a very specific pronounciation for me.

Quinn - Cute but as another poster mentioned on a different thread many mns sound weird with this fn. Like Quinn Elizabeth sounds like Queen Elizabeth. But it is a very cute name. Just need to be careful with the mn pick.

Maysa - This reminds me of a city in Arizone where the northerns go to get away from the winter. It's Messa and is pronounced the same way as Maysa. But minus the city association it's an alright name.

Sophie - Very cute. I prefere Sophia because I like a ending names.

Kiah - Like this name but it reminds me of the car Kia and I'm not sure about this spelling.

Lauren - Very nice name. I like this alot but there are regional differences in its prnounciation. Law-ren versus Lor-en

Maycie - Cute name. My girlfriend has this name spelled Macie. I like this spelling best.

Paris - Love place names but I would never be daring enough to use it. I would also take into consideration the Paris Hilton factor but that shouldn't affect your child too much I'm sure Paris Hilton will be long forgotten before your child reaches kindergarten.

So there is my take on the names. Hope I've given you something to help "un-confuse" you.

GL!

I like a lot of your choices I voted ayla I just love a names but I like the paris connection too I also love macie( although I like sp of macee or macy better) and I love quinn my dh vetoed it when we were looking. I dont mind kiah I would prounounce it ky ah( sounds like my) due to the spelling I think if your looking for kee ah you might try an alternate sp. I also like lauren it has a very classic feel. Dont like maysa though, good luck

Definitely Paris!! Cute name, but since you met DH there it would be meaningful!

Paris Quinn is good, too! Good luck!

I love maysa but sophie, i know someone who named her daughter Zoephie ( I think that's the spelling) anyway it's Z-O-fee.Kinda cute I had the same Proplem with the name Paris we honeymooned and covceived there so it would be special but I didn't want people to think it was because of Paris Hilton!!

Lauren is my favorite, that is my daughter's middle name! I think it is feminine and cute on a little girl, but also sophisticated on an adult. I love the name Sophie, I think it is sooooo pretty and not something you hear often.
