Hi everyone, I lurk around here sometimes. My DH and I are expecting our first around Christmas time this year. We've come to some tentative decisions on names.
Boys were no problem - our first boy will be some spelling of Reece/Rhys/Reese mn Donald (family name) second boy will be Zane Malcolm (Malcolm is a fam. name too)
But girls we were worlds apart untilt his weekend - I think we might have found one we can agree on and I would like some opinions.
I like slightly different names, probably because I have one myself. But I don't want to get too far out there!
so we think we both like Keely for a girl. Any thoughts?
mn will probably be Wynn - unless you have some suggestions for us - we're having trouble finding anything else that sounds right. Last name McKinnon.
Thanks in advance for any helpful words!!

I would use the Reese spelling, to avoid having it misspelled all the time.

I really like Zane.

Instead of Keely have you considered Kiley?

Are you Irish? There are lots of neat Irish naming sites.
