I have 2 dd's Jaiden Elisabeth Mary and Everleigh Rose Alexandra and I am expecting #3 in January/February. We have chosen names for either gender:

Emersen Isabella Mae

and

Do the name we have picked out sound okay with our 2 dd's names???

Thanks,
Sally

YES! Actually, the two names that you have picked out are my favorite of all your children's names (not saying anything bad about your children's names...they're great...I just love these last two!). Jaiden and Everleigh are both sort of unisex names, and I think that Emerson fits with that trend perfectly. Isabella is a bit popular, but it's still a very beautiful name. And Mae was my grandmother's middle name, so I have a soft spot for it.

Carter fits with Jaiden and Everleigh, as well, and the main reason that I like it for you is that it does have a bit of a surname feel (like Jaiden and Everleigh), but it's clear that it's a boy's name. So, if I saw a list of your children's names, I would guess instantly that you had two girls and a boy. Isaiah and Cole are great middle names, too.

Great choice! Congratulations on the new little one!

I think the names you've picked sound great with your 2 girls. Good choices!

I love the boys name, it's perfect!! And, the girl name has the same style and sounds nice, but it sort of bothers me that Isabella is a form of Elisabeth and Mae can be a form of Mary. So, it's almost like Jaiden and Emersen would have the same middle names. And, then that two of the dd's would have the same first initial, but not the other. But, that's only a minor thing. What about Emersen Isadora Maeve??

Good luck,
Sunny

Hello. Congrats on expecting.

I think your boy name is perfect!

Your girl's name- It's definitely the same style. There are a few things about it that bother me, but keep in mind, I'm pretty critical. Most people wouldn't even notice.

#1- Starts with the same letter as Everleigh.
#2- Isabella is the Spanish Elisabeth.
#3- Mae is very similar to Mary.

With Jaiden Elisabeth Mary & Everleigh Rose Alexandra, what about-

FN
Larsen
Sheridan
Gracen
Brooklyn
Quinn
Chandler
Cheyenne
Courtlin
Carson
Dakota
Addison
Parker
Kendall
Devin
Romney
Larkin
Brynn
Shea
Tatum

MN
Iris
Isadora
Ileana
India
Irene
Ivy

#2 MN
Maeve
Maegan
Maeli
Maya
Marie

Again, these are minor issues. If Emerson is the name you love, you should use it. Good luck, Ginger

I appreciate everyones opinions and feedback :) I do realize that Elisabeth and Isabella are somewhat the same name but the reason we chose Isabella Mae as the mns is because my Grandma's mns are Ella Mae and she is NOT crazy about Ella Mae but loved Isabella Mae. Since she is going to be 83.....I want to make her happy and honor while she is still alive and coherent. I love the mns myself :)

As far as the mns being so close to Elisabeth Mary it is still okay because Elisabeth is a family name and Mary is my moms name (daughter of the Grandma that I am honoring). So you see its all in the family.......lol.

Anyway I still very much appreciate the feedback because this is the kind of stuff I would need to know had they not been family names.
