Here's my new list, any suggestions?
| Wed, 08-29-2007 - 11:08pm |
I feel like I haven't gotten out of the gate yet on names. Thought of a few, took a break, and now back to the thinking game. My names are all different and trying to have something a little original. None of the boy names are jumping out at me, need help here.
Thank you - Kimberly!
I have an Ashlynn, Hunter, and Kellan:
Girls -
Georgia
MaKenna (even though this is dd's mn)
Tessa (means 4th born)
Tava
Tasha
Sophie -(just think it's way cute)
Gracyn
Charlee
Zanthie
Shayla
Devyn
Ember
Boys -
Cooper (family name)
Everett (mm rett)
Will
Sloan
Beckett
Tru
Wess
Rylan
Tanner

Your other kids' names make a great set.
Ashlynn, Hunter, and Kellan:
Georgia - seems too old fashioned
MaKenna - nice, but trendy. I'd cross it off it's a siblings MN
Tessa - I love this. Sounds great with sibs; plus the meaning is a nice bonus.
Tava - okay
Tasha - okay, but not a great fit
Sophie - cute, but popular
Gracyn - I don't care for this
Charlee - seems too much like a nickname
Zanthie - seems a bit too odd
Shayla - okay, but might get lost in the Kayla trend
Devyn - like this, esp. with Devon spelling
Ember - this was my mom's dog, so I can't see it on a girl
Boys -
Cooper - love this, it matches well and has a family connection
Everett - seems a little old-style
Will - William and its variants are very popular
Sloan - nice
Beckett - nice
Tru - love it as a nn for Truman
Wess - not on it's own, maybe Weston?
Rylan - okay, but a little similar to Ashlyn. How about Ryker or Ryland?
Tanner - like this, but Hunter and Tanner are a little similar
My favorites for you are Tessa, Devon and Sophie; Cooper and Beckett.

Thanks for the input - I think I've always just liked the name Georgia, but maybe it does sound too old fashion with other sibs. And yeah I could be a little more creative then using MaKenna again, or even Reese, which is DS mn!
What do you guys really think of Everett - is that old fashion too?
So far from input, I guess I'm leaning towards Tessa, I think I actually might really like it, and bonus that it's got a cool meaning to it! Maybe Tava also. I don't know any Tessa's, but I don't think it's too strange, and sounds okay with my other kiddies.
Daddy's name is Troy, so I think he likes the "T" name idea.
Still really like Sophie, so I won't cross that off yet.
I do agree with not having another name ending with the "an,en, n" sound. So it's hard to come up with a few.
I like Wade - that's a good suggestion, yes Tanner probably sounds too much like Hunter! LOL!
I've tried Ryder, but nobody will go for it. I'm stumped for boy names.
Thanks - Kimberly
Tessa and Sophie are my favorites from your girls list. They are both really cute, and I love the meaning of Tessa- perfect! I'd give slight edge to Tessa, but both are great.
From the boys list, I really like Everett for you. NN Rhett is great. Everett has a very handsome feel, and Rhett is more playful/ young to me so that's great to have both options as he gets older. I would like Truman, nn Tru a lot for you, but I dislike Tru as a given name. With a Hunter already, I would avoid Cooper or Tanner since they're pretty obvious occupation names, but that may not bother you (I like both names in general).
Good luck!

Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
Everett is a family name for me that I always planned to use, probably as a mn.
First I have to comment on your other children's names. My niece's name is Ashlynn Hunter!!! I thought that was really funny that you had one of each! Then looking at your list of girls names and I saw Tasha...which is my sister's name ( she passed away 6 years ago-so that is why this is so amazing to me)
So for the new baby....obviously I like Tasha but I also love Gracyn. For a boy I love Cooper. I can just see a little "Coop" running around!!!!
Good Luck

Laura, Hi! That is a very small world coincidence! How funny is that! And thanks for the compliment! I do like Tasha, b/c it's different, and I only new one girl with that name about 10 yrs ago - who had a pretty cool impact on my life at the time.
Gracyn, I know isn't popular with people, but I think it's kinda neat too.
Right now from my list it's Cooper, nn Coop or Everett, nn Rhett- which I'm really trying to consider.
I like your boys names, and very sorry to hear about your sister.

For your girl name, Tessa is definitely my choice.
