I love Lara, so beautiful. The other names are just okay to me, so I ended up voting Addison Lara because I like the nn Addie. I like Riley as well, but Riley Lara doesn't flow well. Mckenna is WAY too trendy, dislike it strongly! Lara is beautiful though.

I don't like any of them...way to trendy for me. I would prefer:

Lara McKenna
Lara Addison
Lara Riley

I completely agree. I don't just love any of these names. And, in pop culture, Lara has ony two associations for me: Lara Flynn Boyle, smoker, bulemic, and known for being a b*tch; and Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. Neither of these are connotations I'd want to pass on to my daughter, especially in this Angelina Jolie-obsessed era. The only name on your list that I actually like is Addison, but I wouldn't use it now under any circumstances because of the recent surge of Addisons. Is this because of Gray's Anatomy???

What about Adeline or Adelaide?

I voted for Riley Mckenna because I think they go well together. If you love a name sometimes it doesn't really matter if it's trendy or not. Some names that were trendy years ago are making a comeback. It's just hard to tell. You just have to love the name.
Good luck.

I actually havent really watched greys anatomy.It's good to know that someone else thought of it for a girl. I found it in a baby book, and loved it. I'm not into really girly names. Lara is my middle name and mothers. so that will be in the name most likely, not too sure yet.I'm not too worried about trends, because all the more classic names once were trends ,hints all the jessica's,amanda's and jennifers in the world. But It's hard deciding on a name!

Thankyou for your comment, I agree with you. I'm not worried about "trendiness". I guess I dont really pay attention to whats IN for baby names, I just go with what I like and what I think my daughter would love and appreciate when she's older. What names have you thought of for your baby? --jami

Ok, I should have looked at your posting name before I commented on Lara, because if I had, I would have known that you chose it because it was a family name. There are lots of family names that I'm passing on that other people don't like. For instance, my middle name is Victoria, while my mom's name is Vicki. Lots of people on this board seem to think that Victoria is too common and that it's a little trendy, but I can't wait to pass it on to a third generation. I don't care what they think because the names are important to me, so you shouldn't care either.

That said, I DO really like the name Addison. I was just wondering why it's suddenly (and I mean SUDDENLY) become so popular. Although it's a name I love, it just doesn't have the same feel that lots of names that become uber-popular have (Kayleigh, Katelyn, Faith, Jaden, etc.). By that, I mean that it doesn't look misspelled or sound like a name only suitable for a kindergartener. Rather, it's a good, strong name, that seems to fit a doctor or lawyer just as much as it suits a little ballerina.

Truthfully, if I were you, I would probably name her Lara Addison and call her by both (but then again, I'm from the South, where we LOVE our double names). You may not feel the same. Let us know what you decide!

Hi! I just read through your posts and I wanted to say that I think Lara is a beautiful name... and since it would honor your mom (and you!), might you consider Lara McKenna? Sounds like a little beauty!

I never really thought to call her by both. Thats a good idea, you get a chance to hear how pretty the names sound together. And the middle name is important to me anyways. thanks for that advice!
