How you do feel about giving a child a proper first name and then a more trendy middle name? I really like the name Makelle for a middle name and I don't know if it would detract from the FN. What do you think. Arden Makelle or Kathryn Makelle just for an example.
These are more names that I found in family history. Not sure where they came up with some of these. Some aren't bad though. I hope I'm not the only one with some of these names in my History. HAHAHA!
Elina
Glenys
Arliss
Maris
Delcina
Helaine
Keturah
Inez ( my favorite aunt) At one time I was naming a girl Amelia Inez.
Vaneta
Tessa
Boys:
Noble
Merrill

I like the name Makelle. Different...but I like it. I prefer Arden on a boy, though. I don't like any of the names you listed.
Terra.
Now that's an insult to my family history! Just kidding. Some of these names went clear back to the 1700's. I guess they even had trendy names back them cause I haven't heard many of them recently. Thanks for the input.
I just used Arden as an example. I really don't know which of my long list to put with Makelle but I did think it's cute. My name is Michelle (Shelly) and I've already used that and so have other family members. So Makelle was similar yet different. Talk to you later!
I like Makelle as a mn. I prefer Kathryn to Arden though.
Elina - this is pretty.
Glenys - I actually love this - I've only seen it spelled Glynis. It reminds me of the more popular Carys.
Arliss - this is nmsaa, especially for a girl.
Maris - I like this!
Delcina - this is nmsaa.
Helaine - nmsaa. I do love Helen, Helena, and Elena though.
Keturah - this nmsaa.
Inez ( my favorite aunt) At one time I was naming a girl Amelia Inez. Could be a cute mn, especially since it has significance for you.
Vaneta - this is nmsaa.
Tessa - very cute!
Boys:
Noble - this seems feminine to me probably because of names like Honor, Hope, Grace, and Faith. It's nms for either gender and could be hard to live up to...
Merrill - I have a friend (a girl) named Merrill so I can't see it on a boy. When I hear it, I think Meryl Streep.
It's fun going through the family tree. I love when people use family names.
Good Luck!
Elina- I like this a lot, very pretty and feminine
Glenys- reminds me of Gladys... nms, seems "old ladyish"
Arliss- as a mn
Maris- not sure how to pronounce this- mar-iss or mair-iss
Delcina- nice
Helaine- pretty
Keturah- nms, seems made up
Inez - as a mn
Vaneta- nms

Boys:
