I voted Kate Victoria Beam as it so classic and elegant but I also really like Rachel Clare Beam and either would go with Christian William.

Lovely names xxx

I think Alanna and Lana are both very nice, and not too popular either (like Katelyn and Kate). Kelila just doesn't sound pretty to me, although I love Lila/Lilah.

I voted for Rachel Clare, but I also was leaning towards Lana Clarice - I just found it harder to say. I tripped over the "l" in Clarice.

I voted for Rachel Clare...to me, it is a lot more classic (elegant, too!) than Katelyn. Katelyn is a newer, trendier version of Caitlin which I always viewed as a spunky little Irish name. It does not have the classic feel of an Elizabeth or Rachel...ESPECIALLY when you change it to the trendy/modern spelling. Kate is a cute nickname, but it is not a given name...Katherine is a given name and Kate or Katie is then the nn. I really encourage you to go with rachel if you are truly interested in a classic name or try one of the following:

Katherine Jane (Jane is much better than Jayna) nn Katie
Katherine Victoria nn Katie
Elizabeth Jane (tons of cute nn's for Elizabeth...Libby, Lizzie, Lily, etc)
Elizabeth Clare
Susannah Clare (Susannah Elizabeth seems too long) nn Susie
Victoria Jane
Lila Elizabeth (lila is so much better than Kelila)

I wouldn't say Lana, Alana, Kelila or Jayna are classic at all.
