my husband and i have a 2 yo son named Malakai James. we are expecting a baby in july. we have chosen Canaan Layne for a boy, but never found a girl name. now he has been deployed to iraq and i kinda feel like i am naming this baby myself...i dont want to pik something he won't like. he mentioned kayden or caleb. i dont like either...too trendy. i do however like biblical names that kind of have a modern sound to them (malakai, canaan). unfortunately the girl names in the bible are so plain...rebecca, hannah, mary, elizabeth. so i am desperately searching for a girl name that matches Malakai James. it doesnt have to be biblical...thats just a good way to match them. names i like are:

Devany Layne
Haviland Layne
Meredith Layne
Ellery Layne
Seneca Layne
Aspen Layne
Emmerson layne

suggestions please!!!

well its back to the drawing board.....
we thought we had her name picked out. we had decided on Cadence Layne.
i finally convinced my husband that Cadence Layne, whn said together, sounds like Caden Slain....which is not really the image we want to project!
so now i cant decided if we should change up the middle name...or go with a completely different first name...

thought about Cadence Maclayne or Cadence J'layne...someting like that.

what other forst names?? i am back to square 1 and cant get a move on!

Cadence Jolayne would put a break in their without either snagging a male name or doing the dreaded apostrophe thing...I went to college with a JoLayne (I recommend AGAINST the double capitalization) and I could see that working here.
