We are expecting twins and if they are boys we would like to name them Carson Matthew and Dreadon Eric. But we are not sure how to spell dreadon (Pronounced Dray-don)? Does anyone have any suggestions?? Also, what do you think of halle (haylee) and megan for girls?!

I really like your boy choices. I think I would spell it Draydon, just as it sounds, looks very masculine that way! For the girls, I like Megan spelled Meagan. And, most people think of Halle as Halley (short A). If you want people to pronounce it right, maybe spell it Hailey, Hailie or if you really want two L's and the E on the end, put an I or Y in there, Haille or Haylle.

I think you are right about the spelling of draydon. It does look good that way! I like megan spelled maegan too, but my husband really doesn't like it so we will probably stick with the original. Halle is a family name, (DH grandma's maiden name) so we will keep it that way. Plus, I think it looks so pretty that way! If people prononce it wrong, I will just have to correct them! Thanks for the suggestions!

i like your boys names. Carson and Dreadon.. tho i'd spell as Draedon..other way spells dread, and in saying i'm wanting to spell Draedon said as Dray-donn. *** Carson & Draedon *** Draedon is more rare and unusual, Carson uncommon yet known. might want more balance with how common or uncommon/known the twin names are. tho to me they are wonderful strong names, like them together!

the girls names i like, however, not the spelling of Halle for the saying of Hailey.. there is Halle (Hahl-lee) Berry.. i would see and say Hahl-lee not Hailey. some may say Hall-ee. the double "LL" makes it a short "a" sound. how about * Haleigh * is distinctive from the traditionally spelled Hailey. looks very pretty also. or Haley is you dont care for "eigh". *** Haley & Megan *** that is adorable! pretty! cute as young girls, yet names to grow and mature with. or Haleigh & Megan is lovely too.

just thought are you saying * Megan as Mehg-ann * ? i assume is said as like that. some do say as ** Mee-gann. ** if you say as * Mee-gann * *** Haleigh & Meagan *** would be absolutely lovely together.

..(all names do get mispelled and said sometimes, but consider how spelling/saying/phonics is done and said..would be missaid, misspelled far more often)..
