Blair Ashling
Maeve (No Middle name yet)

Corbin Asher is wonderful, first off. ;)

As to the names you're considering (which I'm assuming are all for girls?):

Kennedy Taylor Rosario -- not different at all, I'm afraid, though it does seem a bit dated to the 90s. I'd also be careful about pairing two unisex and/or Presidential names (in this case BOTH). It comes across a bit like you wanted a very political little boy, KWIM?

Brenna Ashling Rosario -- Brenna seems quite a bit trendier than Corbin, and while I love Aisling (Ashling not so much), the matching mn thing is a bit corny, to be honest.

Blair Ashling -- Blair is fine with Corbin, but I'd pair it with a non-Ash feminine mn.

Maeve (No Middle name yet) -- definitely my favorite from this list. Simple. Pretty. Not overly-frilly. Definitely seems to fit your style without coming across as trendy or masculine. I like it a lot.

You may also like Niamh, Meredith, Ainsley, Isla, Aila, Tierney, Teagan, Tatum, Moira or Branwen.

Also, here's a link to www.babynamesofireland.com (I just suggested it to another poster, and it seems it might suit your style as well). ;)

I like Maeve and Blair the best, and I also think they are the most 'unique', but not out out-there of the four names you gave. I think Kennedy is pretty trendy and I think Brenna is ok but well get thrown in with the very popular 'Brianna'.

You did a great job with your son's name. I LOVE Corbin Asher.

Kennedy Taylor Rosario- Doesn't go well AT ALL with Corbin. Kennedy is very cutesy and trendy (as is Taylor). It just doesn't fit and seems like you are trying too hard.
Brenna Ashling Rosario- LOVE Brenna, goes wonderfully with Corbin and is underused. I do prefer the Aislin spelling, but the name is lovely. Is Rosario your last name or a double mn?
Blair Ashling- I like this a lot as well.
Maeve (No Middle name yet)- Gorgeous and underused.

You have a nice list and I love Brenna, Blair, and Maeve. I would definitely avoid Kennedy for various reasons. Here are some suggestions:

Mae

Lila

Tessa

Matilda

Romilly

Simone

Elena nn Lainey

Ramona

Delia

Dalia

Talia

Della

Philippa

Celia

Cecelia

Blythe***

Annelise

Ada

HTH,

I think Brenna and Corbin are cute toghether. I am not a fan of the matching middle names, but I would keep it if it has history or signifigance behind it. Not everyone will know both their middle names anyway, i guess. Brenna definitley gets my vote!

It seems lots of people love my son's name. As soon as people find out I'm pregnant they imediately say....."Can't wait to see what name you come up with this time." So, I'm under a lot of pressure to come up with a good girls name.
Rosario is my last name. When I'm considering names for myself or someone else I always have to say it with the last name to make my decision. Thanks for the list of suggestions...Blythe is another name I've considered..any ideas on middle names?

I didn't even realize it until a PP mentioned it, but since Corbin's mn is Asher, I wouldn't use Aislin/Aisling/Ashlyn or any variant of the name as this one's mn, since they both start with Ash.

I really LOVE Blythe for you, and as for mn's, I usually tend to like 2 syllable names with the accent on the 2nd syllable:

Simone
Elise
Camille
Giselle
Therese
Cheyanne

(the more common ones Nicole, Marie, etc. that I wouldn't recommend, but that do sound nice)

Are there any family names you could use? How old is your son? Is he old enough to have a say? That would be a great story to tell as to how she got her name if he helped pick it.
