Hi everyone. I need help. Please be brutally honest - I can totally handle it and I would rather have something brought out before I use that name then someone thinking it after the name is on the birth cert *lol* kwim?

I love your girl's choice, Alexandria Michelle! It's lovely. I like your boy's middle name options, Quentin and David, but I REALLY dislike Jaxon and Alexavier. If you absolutely love Jackson, I would use this spelling. You used the proper surname spelling for Mackenzie, so I would do the same with Jackson.


Instead of Alexavier, I would just use Alexander or Aleksander, if you were looking for a slight difference (and it's a legit spelling, too...it's the Polish variant). If you wanted something a little more different, I would go with simply Xavier. It's not overly common (it's rank on 2007's SSA listing is 68), it's familiar, and it's handsome.


Taking your daughters' names into consideration as siblings, I would absolutely go with Xavier for a boy. It has a more contemporary feel, which makes it a good match with Mackenzie, but it's still handsome and "established" enough to go well with Elisabeth and Clarissa.

Well, I feel like I'm repeating some pp's comments, but here it goes anyway!

Boy/Boy

Alexavier Quentin and Jaxon David- I dislike the mish-mash of Alexavier, and the spelling/ trendiness of Jaxon. I would LOVE Quentin and Xavier as boy twins. Just awesome!

Boy/Girl

Jaxon Alexavier and Alexandria Michelle- Alexandria is fine for me, but I do slightly prefer Alexandra or Alexa, not sure why. Perhaps b/c they're a little less frilly. I'd like Alexandria and Quentin together. I think Alexandria and Xavier would be a little X-heavy.

Girl/Girl

Alexandria Michelle and Kennedy (front runner is Rain but I am up for suggestions.)- Already commented on Alexandria above, so I'll leave that alone. I'm honestly just tired of Kennedy. It seemed fresh in the 1990's, but now just feels...overdone to me. What about Kendall, Kelsey, Ashlyn, Keira, Avery, Annabel, Morgan, Brynn? Just a few thoughts.

HTH and congrats on the TWINS!

Boy/Boy


Alexavier Quentin and Jaxon David- I love Xavier, but Alexavier looks a little silly to me. I also love Quentin! David is okay as a mn.. a bit boring, especially compared to the handsome Quentin. I *really* dislike Jaxon. I just don't see the point. I always wonder why parents change the spelling to Jaxon when Jackson looks so much classier. It just looks trendy to me, and will probably seem dated. Even Jackson is pretty tired right now. I like Xavier and Quentin as brothers though!


Boy/Girl


Jaxon Alexavier and Alexandria Michelle- Alexandria is pretty! Michelle flows nicely as a mn, although I do find it a tad boring. I already mentioned my dislike for Jaxon and Alexavier.


Girl/Girl


Alexandria Michelle and Kennedy (front runner is Rain but I am up for suggestions.) - Not a huge fan of Kennedy, and it looks very masculine next to the feminine Alexandria


Sorry I wasn't more positive- it sounds like we just have very different tastes!
