We are expecting a baby girl in Sept. We are trying to agree on a name. What do you think of Emerson, Kinley, Kennedy and Brooklyn? What MN would you put with them?

I think they all sound trendy and will be outdated in a few years. How about:

Kenna

Adelaide

Dahlia

Talia

Larissa

Adelia

Maren

Carys

Isla "eye-luh"

Scarlett

Bronwen

Ainsley

Delaney

Brynn

Natalie

Hi! Congrats on your baby!

Emerson -- although this name became really popular on the boards, all I can think of is the electronics brand. A TV pops in my head every time I hear it. I do love the nn Emmie/Emmy but I would rather see a name like Emilia, Emily, Emma, Emmeline, Emiliana (however, I understand these names do not have the same feel as Emerson since it's a unisex name).

Kinley -- Definitely nms. I had a teacher in college named McKinley and unfortunately this name is tained for me. Definitely not the name's fault ... just a past experience.

Kennedy -- Sounds more like a last name than a girl's first name. I know this is the trend now though.

Brooklyn -- Although really popular, it is the best of all four choices, in my opinion. Would you use the nn Brooke? I love Brooke!

This is what I think--


Emerson--I personally like it. Kelli is right any name ending in -son is really trendy for girls. Its a great name I have yet to meet one. So it might be alright.


Kinley--Cute but a little to nicknamey for me. I cant picture a 30 year old woman named Kinley. But it is cute.


Kennedy--Again I personally like it. Its on our long list. I get the same vibe from Kennedy as I do from Emerson. Maybe not as trendy(?).


Brooklyn--I do not like this name at all. My fiance's coworker and friend named his DD Brooklyn and she is a gorgoeous little girl but I cannot stand brooklyn. I call her Brooke with I think is a lovely name.
