I think there are some nice names on there. I LOVE Josiah or your next one- that name is gorgeous! Jayden doesn't even hold a candle next to it. Jayden is trendy and all around a bad name IMO. I bet if you did a poll between Josiah and Jayden, Josiah would win by a landslide.
My favourite names from the list are Isaac Joseph, Lindsay Katherine, Joyce Elaine (I love older names), Isaiah Anthony, Nathaiel Orion Peter & Cierra Renee. I really like Redmond as a mn and love the family connection, so I definetly don't agree with the "poor kid" comment. I think it is so nice to have a fn or mn with meaning behind it, rather than just something the parents agreed on.

Samuel Vincent is my favorite name on your whole list. I love how it flows. You listed "Johnothan" in two instances...is that just spelled wrong, or is that how both families spell it (maybe a regional thing)? I've never seen it spelled that way, only Jonathan.


I love that Peter John has been passed down for that long.


In the first sibling set, Lindsay stands out to me as not matching her brothers' names in style. I would have picked another Biblical name.


I agree 100% about Josiah vs. Jayden. Please go with Josiah! It's a great name, and goes well with your other boys' names.

I think we have different naming styles, because several of the ones you didn't like, I really loved. Here we go:

Set #1
Isaac Joseph
Noah Aaron
Jacob Matthew Allen
Lindsay Katherine
*These are all nice. Nothing strange, no weird spellings or Y's thrown in where they don't belong. I really like all of them, particularly Isaac.

Set #2
Alyssa Danielle
Breanna Charlene
*I'm not into Alyssa, really, and I seriously hate Breanna in all its forms. But the middle names are very nice.

Only Child
Johnothan Redmond (mn was mothers , mother's mn) poor kid
*This spelling of Jonathan is bad, bad, bad, but I really don't mind Redmond at all, especially since it's a family name.

Set #3
Paul Michael
Preston Nathaniel
Peter John Family name, passed down since 1800's We have at least one in every generation , sometimes three or four.
*I love the name Paul, and I want to name a son Nathaniel when I have one. So, I really like all of these name. The matchy P-names is a little much, but since the names themselves are so good, I don't really mind it.

Only Child
Kristen Kay
*Nice.

Set #4 (step sisters)
Jordyn Maeleigh ( may lee) this is combo of grandma's and mom's middle names, Mae and Leigh. .. Its grown on me, but still not fan
Taylor Elizabeth (yes its Elizabeth Taylor backwards LOL)
*I don't like this spelling of Jordan at all (the Y spellings aren't for me), and Maeleigh is weird. I like the significance of the name, but I'd rather see Mae-Leigh. I don't like boy names on girls, either, so Jordan (Jordyn) and Taylor as female siblings turns me off.

Set #5
Lauren Nicole
Jacob Robert
*These are both nice, and they complement one another well.

Set #6

Johnothan Patrick ( born on st. pats day, thats where he got his mn, tacky...)
Joyce Elaine ( sounds like an old lady to me, she was named after both grandmas)
Steven (forget mn)
*The St. Patrick's Day thing doesn't really bother me; it's a little cutesy, but at least it's a good name. Again with Johnothan...weird! Joyce Elaine is a little old-fashioned, but it's better than a lot of the "new" names that get thrown around now.

Set #7
Zoe Victoria ( dosent even flow a little)
Regan Schuester ( FOR REAL schuseter is his mn, he was named after his dads friend from singapore... dosent sound like a native name from sigapore does it LOL?)
Amberlee (forget mn sorry)
*Zoe Victoria is my favorite name on this whole list, by far. Schuester isn't my style, but to me, giving a child a name with meaning is much more important than giving a name that lots of people like. I love the meaning behind this name. Amberlee is not for me...at all.

Set #8
John Tanner ( called Tanner)
Blake (forget mn)
*These are nice together.

Set #9
Samuel Vincent
Dominic Michael
*These are nice, too.

And yours:
Nathaniel Orion Peter ( Peter... my brother died right b-4 he was born)
*Orion is not for me, but I LOVE Nathaniel. The family connection with Peter makes me love it even more.

Shaylynn Nycole

Cierra Renee

Savannah Haleigh

Arianna Grace

Isaiah Anthony
*LOVE Isaiah!

Rebecca Charlene
*After birthing this many children, you deserve one named after yourself! I love this name; it's a close call between Rebecca and Isaiah for which is my favorite!

This baby... hmm so far Lexi is the first name for a girl. Dh wants Lexi Elizabeth I want Lexi Joelle...
*I'm with your husband on this one...I prefer Lexi Elizabeth. But really, I prefer Lexi as a nickname, not as a full name.

For a boy were considering Josiah Michael, or Josiah Ryan, or Jayden Ryan or Jayden Michael.
*DEFINITELY Josiah! I love how it flows with Nathaniel and Isaiah! Plus, there are too, too many male and female Jaden/Jaiden/Jayden/Jadon/Jaidon/Jaydon clones running about. Go with Josiah! I like it with either middle name.
