DH and I have narrowed our list (LOL I guess I can't use the word narrowed cause the amount of names went up instead of down) I am curious as to whateveryone thinks about these names. We are pretty much set on the spellings as they appear. Big sister is Alexis Elizabeth Lynn. My current Dh is not her biological father, which is why the Irish names are coming into play so big here now. I'm hoping to incorporate the babies Irish heritage but still have it sound great with my lil Lexi. Mn's are set in stone also. Ln is St.(Saint) John. TIA!!!!

Girls:
Ailey Adele
Zaira Adele
Teagan Adele
Kyla Adele
Ciara Adele (pronounced Keera)

Boys:
Keagan Michael
Corbin Michael
Teague Michael
Tadgh Michael (pronounced Tig with a long i)

I also hope if it is a girl to give her 2 mn's like her big sis but so far can not come up with anything that I like with Adele or any of the fn's. So if you have any suggestions to throw out there go ahead!! :P

I like Kyla and Zaira best of your choices and think they sound good with Lexi. I also like Teagan - but it might be a little masculine next to Alexis. I like Caira - but not that spelling. I love it when spelled "Kyra".

Kyla Adele Renee
Kyla Adele Marie
Kyla Adele Shae
Kyla Adele Brinley

Zaira Adele Jane
Zaira Adele Leigh
Zaira Adele Colleen
Zaira Adele Madison

For boys I like all of your choices except Tadgh - too many pronunciations problems with that one. Corbin is my favorite.

Hi there, for your girls, I like Teagan and Kyra the best. For the boys, I love Keagan. I think Alexis and Keagan sound the best!

Hello! My husband and I are both mostly Scottish but also have some Irish roots! We are using Scottish names for our future children! So far, we have Duncan and Ewan for boys names and we're not quite sure about the girls names. I like Eilish and Maeve (Celtic spelling is Maebh) From your list I really like Ailey for a girl and Tadgh. They all sound very trendy right now except Corbin and Tadgh. Have you though of Maeve or Aoife (pronounced "eefah", like the English Eva), Eilish (pronounced "aylish")? For boys I like Killian, Cormac, Emmett, Lochlan, or Padraig . Good luck and let us know what you pick!

Girls:
Ailey Adele~ It just seems to be missing some thing and I can't point it out, it might be to similar to the Hailey/Bailey genera...
Zaira Adele~ Just not my style and it sounds a little weak next to big sis Alexis
Teagan Adele~ Pretty name, but doesn't flow as well as Kyla does with Alexis
Kyla Adele~ This is my favourite of the bunch. I think Kyla Adele Elizabeth is beautiful
Caira Adele (pronounced Keera)~ This would have been my first choice except that people will say it wrong the first time they say it. I would prefer the spelling Kira or even Keera. I also this Kira Adele Elizabeth is beautiful.

Boys:
Keagan Michael~ I like this name on young boys, but it just doesn't grow up well.
Corbin Michael~ jsut NMS
Teague Michael ~ I like this of the choices you have the most.
Tadgh Michael (pronounced Tig with a long i) ~ This name will get massacred in schools by substitute teachers!
