Boys:

Eli - I love Eli, so spunky, but prefer it as a nn for Elijah, Elliott, or Elias
Everett - LOVE this name, has a classy and very strong feel. You could use Rhett as a nn
Wyatt Xavier - I like this... don't love it, but it's alright

I don't really like Walter as a first name, but why not use it as a mn to still honour your dad? I think rather than sticking a random name in the mn spot, it would give your son much more meaning in his name to use Walter- Eli Walter and Everett Walter flow wonderfully!

Girls:

I find Michelle really outdated, is there a reason you are using it or is it just a random name? If so, I would go with something a little more unique- Addison Corinne, Addison Sage, Addison Blythe, Addison Amelia, Addison Giselle, Addison Harper, Addison Clara, Addison Gemma, etc.
That said, Addison isn't the greatest name for you because Addison Austin doesn't have the greatest flow. Addison seems trendy, but I love the nn Addie and prefer Adeline, Adelaine, Adelaide, or Adele.

How about...

Garrett Austin

Jared Austin

Rafe Austin

Tucker Austin

Calder Austin

Callum Austin

Patrick Austin

Carys Austin

Amelia Austin nn Mia

Gretal Austin

Hadley Austin

Bridget Austin

Charlotte Austin

Scarlett Austin

Chloe Austin

HTH,
-Nikki

We chose Michelle because it is DHs sister.


Another name I am considering using is Craig, DH is a twin, but lost his brother when they were 4 days old and his brother was named craig.


I don't want to use Walter as a middle name, becuase it is also my grandfathers name, so there are lots of little boys with Walter as a middle name in the family already. (My brother is Paul Walter)

Congrats! luv your name choices!

Eli, by himself or as a nn is great name
(for fullname luv Elias, not popular at all, but is common now)
Eli Walter, Eli Wyatt, Eli Craig.
love, Craig Everett! Elias Craig Austin, love it!
also, Walter Eli, be wonderful name!
Wyatt Xavier, love it!

Addison is kinda popular.
i worked at WDW just cpl yrs ago, saw her name alot! every week! (we had coloring station where i worked, the kids would tape their picture up, alot of Addison's) but many times some names are more regional, but considering every state goes to WDW, might want to keep that in mind when you dont want multiple classmates w/ same name or a popular name. (however, even an uncommon name can have that happen, my friend her daughter is Sharayah, and believe it or not, she has a dance-mate with same name tho spelled, Sherayah. but i have an uncommon/popular name so those oddities are nice)

for similar to Addison,
Madelyn, Madeline,

also,

Isadora,
Adora,
Madera,
Adrienne,

of course, go with first and foremost: just loving your baby's name whispered to your heart, popular or not.

Eli- cute as nn but doesn't sound complete by itself
Everett - this one is growing on me, especially using Rhett as nn
Wyatt Xavier - not a big fan of Wyatt but do love Xavier
Walter - nms but understand wanting to use it to honor your father...mn maybe

Addison Michelle - it's okay

suggestions:
Camille/a
Celia
Jocelyn
Maya
Stella

Henry
Spencer
Simon
Grant
Nolan

Good luck!

Hi there, Leslie. Congrats on your first baby!

I really like your boy list. You can't go wrong w/any of them, so I'm completly no help. I really adore Walter/Walt though. It's charming & uncommon these days. They're really all great.

Addison Michelle, however, is nms. Addison is *so* trendy right now. They're born basically every other day in the nursery website I look at. Don't do it. Also, Addison Austin doesn't flow that nicely. Any other girl ideas?

Hope this helps!
