hello.. newbie w/naming issues

Hello ladies. I'm a newbie again, lol.. I havn't been on these boards since having my second child in Jan. of 2004. This January has been a long month.. extremly exhausting, nausiousness... the whole sha-bang. Besides being bloated, the last couple of days have been great, so I've been on the topic of names. I've already found a girl name that I love and my DH agrees on,YEA! I need help with a middle name... the name that we have chosen is Madelyn (Maddy). The boy's name on the other hand we haven't a clue! Our daughter's name is Vanessa Lauren and our son is Zachary Owen. Any ideas?

Sincerly, Joanna

What a coincidence, I just replied to another mommy to be on here and suggested Madelyn Grace. I think they flow very nice together. Can't you just picture a little pigtailed girl running around and calling her Maddy. Personally I think its adorable. Good Luck!

ok, so far the names for boys that I like are Nathaniel, Benjamin and Nicholas. I'm not trying to go to popular or trendy but I just can't seem to find a name that I like for a boy that isn't. If I'm having a boy again, this will be very hard. My husband does not want a name that reminds him of anyone past or currant. Nicholas is one of those names that reminds him of an old school buddy and my daughter doesn't like Benjamin because she has one in her kindergarten class!!

I'm very excited about the name Madelyn! I already had a long list of girl names that I liked and a couple were contenders.. I had Madison on my list and loved the thought of Maddy as a nickname but I wasn't sold on Madison as the name... I've seen Madelyn a lot on postings for suggesting a name and it finally grabbed me! The neat thing about it is that my grandmother's name is Aline and ironically her name is in Madelyn! Not something I was trying for but hey, that's pretty neat! OK, so the middle names that I like are
Madelyn Grace
Madelyn Noelle
Madelyn Elise (leaning towards this one!)

Anymore help is appreciated.. but I think I'm a lost cause for boy names!
