Well, I got my mom hooked on this board. And she wanted to know what comments had been posted about names I had asked about, but the posts were old, so finding them is a challenge.
WDYT about:
Sarah Eleanor (called Sarah Eleanor)
Jessica Yael (Yael is Hebrew, proun: Yah-Ehl) (Called Jessica or Jesse)
Alexandra Shae (called Alex)

I think those are the ones she wanted to know ;). TIA for your responses!

All of them are very pretty.

I like Alexandra Shae best although I'm not into nns & I'm not crazy about "Alex" for a girl. Alexandra is a beautiful name. I think I like Jessica 2nd best only because it's less common than Sarah (although I think Sarah is less popular now than 10 years ago).

Not much help! I like them all!

I like all your names, but here is opinion for each:

Sarah Eleanor (called Sarah Eleanor). Sarah is very popular, and people will definitely shorten this to Sarah. If you are happy with this, then it's fine! :)

Jessica Yael (Yael is Hebrew, proun: Yah-Ehl) (Called Jessica or Jesse). Have a friend named Yael, and think it's nice name. I like Jessica, especially Jessie. Jesse spelt like this may be confused with a boy though. May I also suggest Jessica Sarah or Jessica Eleanor, both of which are lovely!

Alexandra Shae (called Alex). This is nice, but I don't really like Alex for a girl, especially with the unisex mn Shae. How about the nn Lexi or Ally? Also, what about Alexandra Yael?

Like it said earlier, all these names are nice, so you can't go wrong. My fav would be Jessica Sarah (Jessie) or Alexandra Yael (Lexi)!

Good Luck!

I LOVE LOVE Alexandra Shae! But for a nn I much prefer Ally or Lexie!

Alexandra Shae is by far the prettiest on your list! Great for a baby, a girl, a teen & a woman! She will always be fond of her name! And the nicknames are great!!!

Sarah Eleanor (called Sarah Eleanor): Sarah is a great old classic but I could do without Eleanor (unless it is a family name that is special to you)

Jessica Yael (Yael is Hebrew, proun: Yah-Ehl) (Called Jessica or Jesse): Ditto with Jessica.

Alexandra Shae (called Alex): I like Shae Alexandra better.

I like Alexandra Shea the best. Sarah and Jessica are too old school for me. Even though i do try to stay away from popular names like Alexandra, it just stands out more than the other two.

I like Sarah Eleanor (but would prefer having her called just Sarah :)
and Alexandra Shae.. but I prefer Ally as a nn, personally...

I think Alexandra Shae would get my vote though :)

good luck!
