OK, if you wanted a really original (but NOT made-up) first- and middle-name combo, but naming your baby girl after your family members was REALLY important to you, how would you combine these names to create that name?

Jean, Vickie, Nikki, Ruthie, Gloria, Karen, Lenora, Cordelia, Roberta, Wright, Charlotte, Martha, Leigh, Mae, Allen, Esther, Kelley

Feel free to come up with more than one! It's just for fun...I'm nowhere near having babies. This board is so great with coming up with original names, though, that I just had to see what you'd list!

Out of your choices, I came up with:

Cordelia Jean
Charlotte Mae
Lenora Jean/Mae

Those are the 3 that I really like the sounds of. My favorite is Charlotte Mae.

I like Charlotte Alanora or Alanora Charlotte. ;) (Alanora for both Allen and Lenora).

From the names listed, you could also use Cora (for Cordelia and Lenora), Anora/Annora (for Allen and Lenora, again), Marielle (for Martha and Kelley), or of course just a fn/mn combo of the exact names ... Lenora Mae, Cordelia Wright, Charlotte Jean, etc. Kind of hard to suggest exact combos since a lot of those are really nicknamey (Vickie, Nikki, Ruthie). Are these really the given names? If not, it'd be much easier to build on Victoria, Nicole, Ruth, etc. Victoria Charlotte, Ruth Annora, Charlotte Ruth, Cordelia Nicole or Marielle Victoria, for example.

Look like a challenge! Here's what I came up w/:

Jean, Vickie, Nikki, Ruthie, Gloria, Karen, Lenora, Cordelia, Roberta, Wright, Charlotte, Martha, Leigh, Mae, Allen, Esther, Kelley

Nicola Mae

Nicoletta Mae

Nicolet Victoria

Gloria Mae

Gloria Nicolet

Gloria Leigh

Gloria Kelley

Lenora Mae

Lenora Kelley

Lenora Leigh

Nora Kelley

Nora Mae

Nora Leigh-I love this, because you could use the nn of Noley. :)

Cordelia Mae

Cordelia Kelley

Cordelia Nicolet

Delia Mae

Delia Kelley

Delia Nicolet

Delia Karen

Karina Mae

Karina Leigh

Charlotte Mae

Those are just using the names that I personally like. The possibilties are endless really! I specifically love Delia Mae Nicolet Vicotoria. Nora & Charlotte are the only fns that I used that might be a popularity issue. I didn't use Victoria as a fn, because I see those popping up a lot. Hope this helps!

How about using Mae, Jean and Leigh....Maylee Jean! You can spell Maylee so many different ways, so it can go from traditional to new!
I think it's cute...I might keep it mind...lol
