HELP - 3 day old baby without a name

Hi,

Well after thinking of names for 9 months I had my daughter 3 days ago. She's all I could ever wish for and more. I can't decide upon 2 different names. She'll either be Leah or Skylee. I really want to decide so I can start calling her by her name. My other children are Garrett and Sierra. Leah is sweet and traditional. Skylee is unique and cute. Which one do you like better or think would fit better in our family. I really need help!

Thank you,
Sarah

I love the name Skylee It reminds me of Kaylee which doesn't sound to childish to me.

I prefer Leah. It's a name that's seems ageless to me (a cute toddler, a beautiful teen, a professional adult). Skylee's not as versatile. Best wishes and Congratulations! Beth

I like Leah is very pretty, and classy. I also think it matches well with your other childrens names.

Congrats! Leah definitely gmv, it's classic and matches better w/ siblings. I also don't really like matching initials and Skylee sounds trendy and made-up. I like pp's suggestions of Skylar, Skye and Sierra are a little nature matchy for my taste.

Ooooooooo, Leah is one of my favorite names so I vote for that! And it gives 3 different letters for the names. GL deciding!

I say use Leah. Its beautiful and grows well with your DD. Skylee sounds so babyish and made up. Garrett and Sierra are both wonderful names that will grow well with your children. Skylee sticks out like a sore thumb. YOu could go with a PP and use Skylar or Skyla. Good luck and congratulations. Let us know what you decide.

Leah is a beautiful name, and it goes great with your other children's names. Skylee, on the other hand, sounds so babyish to me - I could see it as a nickname for Skylar or Skye, but I could never actually use it as a first name.

I have to agree with the others ... Leah is a nice classic, but Skylee just comes across as childish and made-up.

If you're not sure Leah suits her or seems a bit too conservative next to Garrett and Sierra (I think you expressed this concern in the past, but I could be wrong), perhaps something like Adelia or Amelia, nn Lia, would appeal.

HTH
