Hello, my name is Heather and my baby bean is due in June. I already have a 19 month old son named Tex Wilson Curry... what do you think about the name Maybel LouAnna Curry? Maybel is my boyfriends great grandmothers name and LouAnna is both my middle name and my grandmothers first name. Wilson is my boyfriend and his fathers middle name, so we are kinda into the family names... Just needed some opinions! Thanks

I think Tex and Maybel sound really cute together! Like a little cowboy and cowgirl...

Sorry - I dont like either of them, sounds like a character that Dolly Parton would play.

I think Maybel LouAnn is a bit much - and very old-fashioned. How about Belle LouAnn or something like Lucille Annabelle - which combines some of all of the names. Luci would be very cute with big brother Tex. I also like Anabel Mae as an option. You could even use Maya LouAnn.

You have some good names to work with!

Well thanks for being so honest. I wasn't asking for input on Tex though... That's already his name and it fits him perfectly! Sorry if you don't like Dolly Parton even if she happens to be one of the most successful business women and song writers in the United States who also happens to be incredibly down to earth! I guess us country folk are just too country for ya if you can't at least appreciate something different that has run in the family for generations. Thanks though...

Hi Heather. That's great when ya pick a name and your child ends up wearing it like it was made for him ;). I think Tex and Maybel are exactly the same style and they seem to fit your family just right. I do agree that Maybel with LouAnn maybe a bit heavy but if thats what ya got your heart set on it--go for it =).

Sorry I didnt mean to offend, I actually like Tex. What I meant was I wasnt that keen on the first or the middle names you have choosen together - I thought they were a bit much, like a Dolly Parton character, but if that is what you are after then you have choosen perfectly. I like Maybel Anne

Family names are always great. Go with your choice.
