I have a 20-something friend named Blakely. It's a fun name...she's very spunky with a lot of personality so that's how I see this name. Berkley is very similar, but definitely makes me think of UC Berkely and all that's associated with that school.

Carter, Hunter, Kennedy and Blakely Anderson?

Blakely Paige Anderson
Blakely Jane Anderson
Blakely Rose Anderson
Blakely Camille Anderson
Blakely Jewel Anderson
Blakely Caroline Anderson
Blakely Gabrielle Anderson
Blakely Brooke Anderson

Just a few more to think about... :-)

And you definitely have an all-American pack of names for your girls, so I think staying with something easy to pronounce would give her a kinship with her sisters, as well as reducing the cringe factor for you. (Though almost anything gets mispronounced...even my bread-and-butter name, Kristen, gets mispronounced/mispelled/misheard more often than not...I got birthday checks from my grandma to every other Chris form until I was about 15, I think, and I have a credit card in the name of Tristan from a place I actually worked at the time I got it! I just answer to everything. Maybe that's why my son has a one syllable name...that half the world hears as Ben.)

His name is Robert Blake; her name was Bonnie Bakley, so I guess if you mush them together you might get Blakely, but nope!

Too much dissonance going on here with "Carrington" and the LN ending in the same letter
as the ending letter of FN.
"Carrington Brooke" sounds nice;real nice, but the LN throws it off.
"McKenna Brooke" is similar, and does not have dissonance to it.

"Anderson" is a very attractive LN. You have ever so many excellent names that will go perfectly with it. I would completely explore all your multitude of options.....

ah one would think anderson was easy to work with.....i did initially....i agree with what you are saying about carrington and that too has already been picked off my list. i did discover just now on the phone with my mil why my dh is having trouble agreeing with any names this go round-apparently at a wedding reception over the weekend she overheard him tellhis bf that he had suggested a name early on and it was shot down...the name was danelle gray-first off it does not in any way match up with the sibs-not to mention it is just to close to anna nicole's dd daniellynn. now meshooting down one name....and him shooting down probably 20 does not seem like fair odds. the others he suggested were mckinley paige and mackenzie brooke-which the board pretty much shot down....so he comes home in 4 days.i'll have my list and go from their-my sil still thinks taylor or tyler. taylor could actually work...though yet another president...it is not 'er'...it is easy to pronounce....it is not a 'c' or 'k' name and she won't be in school with older sister carter so maybe nobody will think presidents...lol. janet

While Taylor was a president, he had the third shortest term (after Harrison and Garfield)...he was in just over a year, so let's say it just barely counts as a presidential name and call it good!

I think Taylor Brooke Anderson would work great! I wouldn't worry about the presidential connection since he's not a very prominent one (as opposed to Lincoln or Reagan or something).

Fair warning, if you're concerned about -er names, Taylor is pronounced that way in a lot of areas: TAIL-er. If you're only worried about spelling, I think it's perfect!

well i was thinking taylor or tyler and tyler truely is an 'er' name....originally shot taylor down because a friend recently named a baby taylor anne-but she lives in a different state and actually it is her dh we may actually see again and not her-they are now divorced. tyler i shot down because it seems like for a day every little boy i herd spoken to when i was out running errands was 'tyler'. asked mil what she thought of taylor brooke...same blah reaction i have gotten with every choice.....it's your baby you guys just need to come up with a name....i bet it ends up being taylor maybe though unsure if i like brooke as the middle name although that was my first choice..... janet
