Hi -


I am only in the early stages of my pregnancy, but we have decided on first names of our daughter or son.

I think they're both absolutely lovely. I like Alessa Paige and I like the rhythm of Dominic Scott very much.

I'm a little puzzled about your spelling for Alessa - if that's how you plan to pronounce it, that's fine - Ah-LESS-ah, but if you're going for the more known Ah-LISS-ah - you need to go with either Alyssa or Alissa - if you do use Alessa for Ah-LESS-ah, it's going to be taken occasionally for Alyssa and will need to be corrected, just be aware


Rayne - Alessa Rayne - nice flow, I like the name Rayna better, but it doesn't work with Alessa


Grace - has become too much of a 'filler' middle name, and the S-sound in Grace with the S-sound in Alessa is too repetititve


Rose - ditto the S-sounds from above entry on Grace


Paige - VERY GOOD flow and sound - Alessa Paige


Kate - good sound, I'm not a fan of using Kate stand-alone - Alessa Katherine or Alessa Kathleen would work well too


Nicole - very good sound and flow

Yes, Alessa will be pronounced Ah-less-ah.

Lovely. I love Alessa Kate, but I also like Alessa Paige very much.

Dominic is fantastic. It's a favorite of mine and I don't hear it very often, so I get excited when I do! I love Dominic James, Dominic Scott and Dominic Ryan.

I would go for Alessa Paige, no offense ,but Rayne is a little to hippy-ish for my taste. Like sunshine and (rayne-bow)


Alessa Nicole is actually really sweet.


I also like Dominic Scott.
