| Sat, 11-11-2006 - 3:49pm |
Hi! I'm due with baby #4 in May. I have three girls - Hannah, Emma, and Madelyn. I'd love to get opinions on my name list below. Be honest - I won't be offended!
Marla
BOYS:

Carter
Cole
Drew
Jagger
Joel
Liam
Luke
Nathaniel (nick name Nate)
Rex (does this scream "German Shepard" and not baby?)
Trevor
GIRLS:
Amelia
Ava
Bree
Charlotte
Chloe
Delilah
Elsa
Estella
Georgia
Grace
Kate
Lila
Lilly
Lillian
Rosalie
Skye
Thea


Pages
BOYS:
Carter
Cole
Joel
Liam
Luke
Nathaniel (nick name Nate)
I've left the ones that I like. I really love Liam and Luke, and Nathaniel nn Nate is on my personal list. Cade is another one you may like. I can't decide which of these would be my favorite...I guess Nate, but they're all nice.
GIRLS:
Amelia
Ava
Bree
Charlotte
Chloe
Estella
Georgia
Grace
Kate
Lila
Lilly
Lillian
Rosalie
Thea
Again, I left the ones I like. Estella, Charlotte, Lila, and Rosalie are on my personal list as well, so obviously, I love those. Lilly and Lillian are popular, but they're still so pretty...I can never decide whether I love Lila or Lilly more. I have a cousin named Lillie, so luckily, I can't use it and won't have to decide. I love Estella because it was my great-grandmother's name, but also because I can use the nickname Tess, which is another favorite. Rosalie is just fabulous...feminine and sophisticated. Thea is spunky and fresh. I love Amelia because of the nickname Milly.
Kate, Bree, and Lilly are all nice on their own, but I prefer them as nicknames for more formal names. I am ecstatic to see that you're not spelling Bree like the cheese.
So, I'm no help at all. So many pretty ones to choose from.
Hi there. Congrats on #4! I like your dds' names; those are nice. Judging by Hannah, Emma, & Madelyn, I'm guessing that popularity doesn't bother you. Therefore, here are my unbiased on popularity thoughts:
BOYS:
Brody-This is really cute. It's fun & ruggid. I like it w/your kids' names as well.
Caleb-This is nms. It works for you, I just don't love it.
Carter-This is nice. It works well w/your dds' names too.
Cole-I love Cole. Very cool. Nicolas or Colton nn Cole are also options if you'd like something longer.
Drew-I love Drew, although I prefer Andrew nn Drew. It seems to fit in a bit bettet w/your dds' names anyway.
Jagger-That's not so attractive, imo. It just reminds me of the liquor.
Joel-That's okay. It's not my favourite. I prefer Joseph/Joe.
Liam-I love it!
Luke-I really love this one for you & in general.
Nathaniel (nick name Nate)-I really like Nathan/Nate, but Nathaniel isn't awful.
Rex (does this scream "German Shepard" and not baby?)-LOL, sort of...it's fun though. I just don't know how it fits in w/Hananh, Emma, & Madelyn.
Trevor-This does fit in though. Good choice.
My favourites from the list are Luke & Liam, & I love Luke w/your dds' names. I really like Brody too, w/Carter, Drew, & Trevor close behind.
GIRLS:
Amelia-I love Amelia. My only issue here (this is probably not a big deal to normal people) is that everyone would have an 'a' ending name except for Madelyn.
Ava-This fits in other then the 'a' ending thing. I like it.
Bree-Hm, that seems sort of nick-namey. What about Breanne nn Bree?
Charlotte-This works nicely.
Chloe-This is fine, but it's not my favourite.
Delilah-I love the sound of this. It's sort of dramatic thoguh.
Elsa-This is maybe too close to Emma, but I do really like it.
Estella-Ah, I love this one!
Georgia-That's kind of nice
Grace-This is not my favourite, but it's okay.
Kate-Hm, that's nice. I prefer it as a nn. Katherine fits in really well w/your bunch.
Lila-I love this; very pretty.
Lilly-I love Lilly. How sweet.
Lillian-This seems perfect, imo. It ends in an 'n' like Madelyn, & you can use the nn Lilly too.
Rosalie-Ooh, so pretty!
Skye-I like this, but maybe more as a mn.
Thea-This is different. I don't love it for you, but it's nice.
My favourites are Amelia, Lillian, Lila, & Estella. Yes, I love them all! I'd totally pick Lillian though. It's perfect. Rosalie is very closely next in line.
Hope this helps!
With Hannah, Emma, and Madelyn
BOYS:
Brody- an okay name, but I don't think it fits in that well
Caleb- like this name, but it doesn't fit perfectly
Carter- not a fan, only like it if its a family surname
Cole- okay
Drew- Love this one, goes very nicely
Jagger- nmsaa
Joel- LOVE this ... goes perfectly
Liam- Very sweet, goes well
Luke- LOVE it
Nathaniel - Love this
Rex- LOL, sorry, I can't see this on a kid
Trevor- boring
A lot of these names are nice but just don't go well with your girls name. I really like Drew, Joel, Liam, Luke, and Nathaniel.
GIRLS:
Amelia- beautiful and sweet
Ava- lovely, but way too popular
Bree- too nicknamey
Charlotte- beautiful, love it
Chloe- too cutesy
Delilah- love this, one of my fave names
Elsa- love this, very spunky and uncommon
Estella- okay, but i still find it a bit frumpy
Georgia- like this a lot, spunky
Grace- nice, but really popular
Kate- prefer as a nn for Katherine, it is very popular though
Lila- beautifuk
Lilly- too nicknamey and popular
Lillian- like it, but too popular
Rosalie- sweet
Skye- too trendy
Thea- love it
There are so many names I love on your girls list, you have wonderful taste. I'd say my faves are:
#1) Charlotte
#2) Amelia
#3) Lila
HTH
-Nikki
Unfortunately Rex does scream German shephard. I have known two Rex's in my life ( people ) and couldnt stand either one so the name puts a bad taste in my mouth.
Now I love Nathaniel but am partial cause its my oldests name and we have never shortened it . I recommend being different and keeping it as Nathaniel. Everyone shortens everything and by not shortening it it helps to know that thee wont be a 100 in their class because you kept their name the long version. I love Nathaniel and think its to nice to shorten.
I also love Drew, Luke and Caleb I think those are my favorite.
For the girls...... I like Delilah its not overly used and is a nice femanine name, Ava is pretty and works well and I really like Grace and LIly although Lily is becomming VERY popular all of a sudden.
Hope this helps, you have very nice name choices :)
Rebecca
Boys: I think Liam, Luke, and Nathaniel go best with your DDs.
Firstly, your 3 girls have beautiful names!!!
In your boys list I like Liam, Luke and Trevor best to match your girls.
But all the names on the list are nice, except the dog one...ya...Rex.
In the girls list Charlotte sounds best with your other girls but there are so many nice ones in your list.
Amelia...quite nice, will match, known but not yet too common
Ava...way too popular
Bree...modern, sounds like a cheese, cute
Chloe...french sounding, reminds me of low income kids tho
Delilah...my best friend named her daughter this...I love it!
Elsa, Estella, Georgia...NOT
Grace, Kate...old fashioned become new...and becoming common
Lila Lilly, Lillian...the new name of the day
Rosalie...ok
Skye...I love this one. I named one of my "angels" Skye.
Thea...cute, unusual
I love almost all the names on your list, and really I don't think there's a bad apple in the bunch (with the exception of Rex, which does seem a tad "man's best friend" to me)! With Hannah, Emma and Madelyn, I might personally short-list it to (* are my favourites):

GIRLS:
