I love the names I picked out for my two gifts from god. Please tell me if you like them too. My little girls name is Alonna Ciara and my little boys name is Carigan Emery.
I want one more and I have a girls name picked out all ready it is Ember Alloy. Let me know what you think! I think you should always give a little girl a pretty name so if she ever feels left out or uncertain of herself she will always have a name that flattering.

Your tastes are different from mine, but I do think you came up with nice, but unusual names for your first two children. I don't think I like Ember Alloy as much. Ember is OK - it makes me think of embers in a fire - not bad, just unusual. Alloy just sounds like a chemistry word to me; you know, a combination of two metals. Now, if it's a family name or has other significance for you, then pay no attention to me and use it anyway, but if you picked it to sound pretty, I think I'd revisit it and see if there's something else that would work better.

Some suggestions that might work: Allegro, Serena, Lenise, Portia, Janelle

I agree with the pp ... while I think both the first two names are great, Alloy just makes me think of alloy wheels. Not a pretty image for a girl. If it has a family meaning, that's one thing, but if it was only chosen to sound nice, I'd rethink it.

Alona Ciera is pretty, but I don't care for Carigan Emery, which seems a bit too feminine to me. I also am not sure what I think of Ember Alloy, to me, it sounds more like a nail polish color than a girl's name.

Alonna & Carigan aren't my own style, but I think they are very nice & memorable.
I love the name Ember! Your daughter is lucky if you name her that.
(Alloy doesn't seem like a name to me, though, especially not a feminine one. I wonder if you mistyped?)

I really like Alonna Ciara...very pretty. I have to agree with one of the other replies about Carigan Emery, it sounds kind of feminine to me too. I can't really have an unbiased opinion about the name Ember though. I'm not trying to offend you, but my mom has a dog named Ember. We got her from a terrible puppy mill and they told us that her mother's name was Fireball. So we thought Fireball, Ember...it all makes sense. So in MY mind, Ember is a dog's name. I also agree with everyone else about Alloy, it doesn't really sound like a name to me.

Alonna Ciara is a beautiful name. Carigan Emery is nice, but I have always liked Emery for a girl. I've never thought of Carigan - but I do like it. It's one of those names that could be for a boy or girl. I like it.

Ember Alloy - sorry, but I do not like this name at all. It is not near as lovely as your daughter's name. Ember reminds me of Amber and I do not like that name (all of the Ambers I've known have been bossy, trashy and mean ). Alloy reminds me of alloy wheels and therefore does not seem feminine. Sorry.
