Welcome and congrats!!

Keira - great name, my favorite on your list!
Kora/Koralie - sorry, while I love Cora with a K it looks wrong. I do think that Cora Skye would be a pretty name, but Kora Skye has a totally different feeling
Kalla - again, Calla is one of my all time favorite names, but Kalla...not so much. Why did you chose the K spelling?
Jolie - I immediately think of Angelina Jolie. I like this more as a middle name
Laila - how are you pronouncing this? I like Lila, Layla, and Leila more
Raquel - I can't get into this name, I like plan Rachel much more.
(middle name Skye)

Boys:
Kallan - not a big fan of this one. I do like Colin, Callan, Callum, and Connor.
Rowan - my favorite on your boys list, but you should be aware that more and more girls are being named Rowan. What abut Ronan or Ryder?
Kash - maybe Cash, but once again the K looks wrong

Good luck,
Brooke

first of all, thanks for the input! actually.. i never really thought about the whole K thing i just knew if it was C or K i would choose K because my name is Kandice and what has always set it apart was the K- so i thought it would change it up a bit! but now i hear its a trend which is disappointing! & everyone ive talked to(& myself) has liked the name Cash (including my parents!) but i wasnt sure about it actually being spelled Cash & i didnt want a weird cowboy vibe!

Congratulations!

Girls:
Keira - Nice
Kora (Koralie)- I much prefer Cora. It looks odd and misspelled to me with the K. I don't care for Koralie at all.
Kalla - Again, I much prefer Calla. Looks odd w/ the K.
Jolie - Reminds me of Angelina. I dont care for it.
Laila - Nice
Raquel - Nice
(middle name Skye)

Keira and Raquel are my favorites from your list. Although I like Calla and Cora even better if spelled with the C.

Boys:
Kallan - Looks odd with the K. I dont care for Callan either. Both seem too feminine for my taste. How about Corbin, Cullen or Corwin?
Rowan - okay
Kash - looks odd and mispelled. Maybe Cash, but not a big fan of that either. How about Chase? or Charles with the nn Chas? or Nash?

actually i like alot of those combos!.. i really liked Callista Raquel (callista is one i forgot to put on there but once again.. what about it spelled Kallista?) the dad really wanted the name Skye or Skylar but i wasnt too thrilled so i agreed on skye for the MN. as for the boy names i really like Kallan Brody but i think i like Brady better than Brody! and is Cash just too weird?

Girls:
Keira- too trendy
Kora (Koralie)- Cora, spelt this way, is just stunning. Kora looks misspelled. You could do Coralie, Corinne, Carina, or Cordelia nn Cora. I LOVE all of those options, but really dislike the K spelling.
Kalla- Again, use the C spelling! K names are really trendy right now and it will just get lumped in with other misspelled/trendy names. Calla is pretty.
Jolie- I wouldn't use it right now, with Angelina Jolie in the headlines so often
Laila - It's okay. I am glad you are using this spelling and not Layla. I do prefer Lilah/Lila though, or even Isla "eye-luh"
Raquel - beauitufl

Boys:
Kallan- I prefer Kellin or Keiran. This looks a bit off
Rowan- LOVE it. A nice Scottish name.
Kash- Misspelled. Cash is okay, but seems a bit trashy with the money reference.

There are quite a few names on here that you are misspelling- Kash, Kora, Kalla, etc. DEFINITELY spell them properly!

thanks for all the advice! i will say, i never thought using a K instead of C was misspelling it, or made the name look wrong! which is sad for me because i wasnt trying to do the "trendy" thing- the K in my name made it different from others, which i like.. so i thought it would do the same for my baby ( not make it look bad) but now i know what most people think about it and i will be considering the spelling :)
