I'm 4 months pregnant I already have 1 child but now I stuck in naming my second child. So far the names that I do like are for a girl Sara Lee.I can't figure out a boy name.

If you like Sara with Lee, why don't you at least change the spelling??

Sarah Leigh??

it would've been helpful to know what your other child's name is, but I wouldn't recommend Sara Lee - like the frozen desserts in the grocery store

in addition to that reason - it's terribly plain. Sarah (I like it better with an H on the end, but I really don't like it much eitehr way) is plain enough by itself, overly popular in all generations, and Lee is just the most common, plain nickname you can find.

I agree with a few of the other posters that having names with strong assosiations is tough for a kid. Have you though about the catch line for that product. "Nobody does it like Sarah Lee" I can think of all kids of bad ways that could be taken as your daughter begins to date, fool around with guys. I just have this image of her walking down the hallway at school and some mean guy that she refused to make out with (or agreed to make out with) singing that at the top of his lungs and the kids around her all laughing.

I totally understand your need/desire for a biblical name. My husbands family uses the same tradition and we are trying so hard to come up with something we love. The book, "the baby name wizard" has a great section on bible names. What about S

Samara lee

(same sound, but without the mean tease association) and samara means god's garden.

Hi,

My mom's name is Saralee, all one word. I love it! She occasionally gets asked if she owns the company, but she just answers "I wish." It is unique and i think very pretty. She gets lots of compliments on it if that helps.

My quest is going to be coming up with something i like just as much!

I didagree with your opinion but I take anyways. If you didn't know Sara is the orginal way. Another thing its also a biblical name. My first born name is Nathaniel which means gods gift. And Sara means princess.
