that girls name is a real mouthful and some really chaotic spellings. I'd urge you to simplify the spellings if you want an unusual name like that. in the girls name, if both Ys in the first name have the long I sound, then the name is just very weird, not pretty at all. and what is the Y in Dakota for - Da-KOY-ta?

my suggestion to you to revise that girls name but keep it in the general area would be:

Takiah - pronounced Ta-KI-ah (long I) or

Takeya - pronounced Ta-KEY-ah (long E sound)



either way, none of them should be paired with Dakota or Dakoyta?? as a middle name. too many K sounds. both end in a, bad combo.

as for boys, while I don't like the real popular names, the ones I like are names you hear, but just not quite so often, so I doubt if any of mine would interest you.

good luck.

Congrats on your pregnancy!!!

I am assuming if this one is a boy and you have a girl down the line you are set with Tykayah so a boy's names need to sound good with that as a sibling name.

Kiernan David

Malachi David

Talon David

Tarek David

Tavian David

Thackery David

Theron David

Good luck!!!
