Seeking Opinions on Girls Names
| Thu, 01-18-2007 - 1:34pm |
I despertly needs some of your opinions on my list of names. DH and I are having a terrible time agreeing on a name, but this list below represents names that we "somewhat" agree could be options (with a couple that only I like). I'm due in April and DH says we have plenty of time, but I at least would like to get it narrowed down to 3 soon. With our DS, we didn't decide for sure until he was born but we had a list of 3 names and when we was born we just knew he was a Zachary. Our last name is fairly long with 3 syllables and begins with an H.
Here's my list:
Alyssa
Elise
Hannah
Lily
Megan
Sarah
Sophie
Sydney
Zoe (does Zach and Zoe sound cheesy together as siblings?)
Others???
Thanks so much!!

Alyssa - this sounds dated to me, sorry. What about Adeline, nn Addy?
Elise - this is a lovely, classic, and uncommon name, my favorite on your list
Hannah - this name is nice, but so popular right now - number 7 on the SSA baby name
Lily - sorry this one is also too popular for my taste. What about Ivy, Iris, Calla, or Violet?
Megan - this also sounds very 80s too me, sorry. I do like Maeve or Maren
Sarah - you can never go wrong with a classic, since you like "ie/y" type names, you could always do Sarah, nn Sadie.
Sophie - I liked this name a few years ago - but now I am tired of all of the Sophie, Olivia, Isabelle's out there.
Sydney - I really like this name. It is not that popular in my area and I think that this name will age well
Zoe - sorry but the two Z's are a little matchy for me

Alyssa - this is nms, but I can see its appeal
Elise - I like this a lot
Hannah - I like this a lot
Lily - I like this a lot
Megan - I like this
Sarah - I love this - a beautiful classic
Sophie - I like this a lot
Sydney - I like this a lot
Zoe - I think this is way too cutesy with Zach
My favorite on your list is Sarah, but Sophie and Hannah are very close behind.
Out of all of them I do like Lily the best, but it is being over used like how Amy was in the 80s.
Alyssa- cute, very feminine
Elise- gorgeous. This is a BEAUTIFUL name
Hannah- again, very pretty. A bit popular though, but still lvoe it
Lily- way too popular
Megan- very sweet, I really like this with Zachary, seems to go perfectly in style
Sarah- nice, but very common
Sophie- pretty, very feminine, cutesy, and popular
Sydney- goes well with Zachary
Zoe - I'd avoid another Z name
I like Megan, Elise, and Sydney the best. Hannah is also really nice.
How about...

Elise - LOVE it!!!
Hannah - so-so
Lily - nice but pretty popular
Megan - nice

does Zach and Zoe sound cheesy together as siblings? - the answer is "yes"!
Alyssa- I think this is pretty and that it goes with Zachary nicely.
Elise- also pretty and not as popular as Alyssa.
Hannah- I always thought this name was cute but it's way too popular for me.
Lily- this is pretty
Megan- I've always liked this name as well
Sarah- it's ok; alittle plain for my taste
Sophie- it's cute but I prefer Sophia
Sydney- it's alright but I don't like the nn Syd
Zoe (does Zach and Zoe sound cheesy together as siblings?)- I don't personally mind siblings with the same first letter but if it bothers you at all then I wouldn't use it.

My opinions follow:
Alyssa-- not my fav; much prefer some others on your list; seems "fluffy"
Elise-- a much nicer alternative to Alyssa, esp with a 3 syllabel ln
Hannah-- don't hear it as much anymore; like
Lily-- very popular; pretty
Megan-- never have liked this much; too heavy (not "fluffy" enough!)
Sarah-- timeless, effortless
Sophie-- darling! Love it!
Sydney-- too trendy for me
Zoe (does Zach and Zoe sound cheesy together as siblings?)-- wouldn't do this with brother Zach
