Help With Names!
| Sun, 10-02-2005 - 3:18pm |
I'm 6 months along and I'm still needing help with a name if it's a Boy or Girl ...
I've pretty much got the boys name narrowed down to either Mason Zane or Jonathan Zane - I love the name Mason Zane, but my family doesn't really care for it that much, so tell me what ya'll think!
Then i've got the names Lainie, Kynleigh, Riley, Haven, and Karli that I really like for the girl name. The middle name is for sure going to be Elyce. So please tell me which one ya'll would pick and wouldn't pick!
Thanks,
Kaila

As for girls, as I said in your poll I like Lainie and Kynleigh the best. I prefer Elyce spelt Elyse or Elise, but if you like it with the c then go with it.
Wow- I really like Lainie and Elyce, but together they are kind of a mouthful. Do you like the name Alana? (Uh-LAY-na) I have a friend with an Alana, and I call her Laney.
I like Mason a lot.
Personally, I think Jonathan Zane sounds pretty nifty, but I'm thinking you need help with your spelling on a few of the girls' names. Elise would make a lovely middle name, but please don't ruin it by spelling it all freaky! I think Carly is cute and not too trendy, but I would go ahead and spell it like Carly Simon does.
Carly Elise...there you go!
I think either Mason or Jonathan is a great choice. Jonathan is obviously more traditional, but you can't really go wrong either way.
Your girl names are less my style, but I do like Lainey as a nn. I prefer a more formal official name, though -- Alaina/Elena, Elaine, or Delaney, for example. Karli is cute, too, and I prefer it to Lainey if you don't like any of the more formal name choices. Karli/Carly could be a nn for Caroline/Karoline. Riley is pretty popular now for boys and girls, just in case you didn't know that.
Good luck making a final decision!
Hi Kaila,
Although I love Mason, I think Mason Zane has too much ay sound. My preference here would definitely be Jonathan Zane.
I'm not liking Lainie, Kynleigh, Riley or Karli with Elyce because there is too much ee. So that leaves Haven, which I think is lovely. I do prefer Elise or Elyse over Elyce, but don't let others opinions get in the way if that's really what you like best.
As for Alana (I saw this suggested), it's pronounced a-LAN-uh. If you want a-lay-na then it would be better to spell it Elena, Alaina, or Alayna. Alana pronounced a-lay-na would be constantly mispronounced.
Good luck!
