Hello! Just wanted opinions on my current name ideas....

Avery Malia - I like Avery, although I must say, I generally think of it as a boy's name. But I like it for a girl as well. I think Avery Malia flows really well.

Cooper Wesley is nice also.

*****for girls we also like*****

Avery Kate (or Cate??) - This is good too, but I think I like Malia better.

Finley Kate (I know many of you hate Finley for a girl, but we really love it.) - I want to like Finley/Finn/Finnegan, but I just can't. I am really apprehensive about names that only recently appeared on the SSA baby name list. I just feel that they will sound so strange and dated 30 or 40 years from now.

Mila Alexis - I like Mila. I also like Lila. I like Alexis but prefer Alexa, but with Mila I think Alexis flows better. But IMO it's not the best...how about Mila Sophia or something like that instead?

Marina Quinn - I like Marina. Quinn is okay but I think of that as a boy name.

Greta Sophia - Greta is nice. It reminds me of Greta Garbo.

Mariana Elise - This is good but I think Mariana might get mispronounced, at least some of the time. It's my guess that you want it said "mary-auna" or "mahree-auna", but I think people may say "mary-anna".

Cara Sophia - I like Cara, but I love Cora. Cora is my favorite girl name.

Cara Elise - I think both Cara Sophia and Cara Elise flow well together. I think you should use your last name to see which is better.

Samara Paige - Not my style. I have never been a fan of Paige...it's nice but I just never liked it. I don't mean to be offensive, but I think Samara sounds sort of ghetto. Also, people might mispronounce it.

Linnea Catherine - Linnea is interesting. I like it. I say Linn-ay-ah, is that right? It reminds me of Carl Linnaeus from biology.

Sophia Elena - I like Sophia but it is quite popular right now.

Avalynn Elise - I love Ava just by itself. I think Ava Elise sounds nice. I think people may confuse Avalynn for Evelyn/Eveline. Do you like either one of those instead?

Maren Amelia - Not a fan of Maren. I like what you said before, Marina, though.

Whitley Paige - I like Whitney, but not Whitley.

Sara Katherine (nn Sara Kate) - Not a fan of Sara/Sarah.

Alaina Jade - This is okay.

Chloe Madison - I can't get into Chloe...it sounds quite cutesy to me.

Chloe Paige - See above.

Eden Amelia - Eden is interesting, but it seems very religious to me. I would picture this name on a fundamentalist Christian.

Malia Catherine - I like Malia.

******for boys******

Cooper Flynn - I like Cooper. Two surnames might be a little too much, though. Actually, it would be three when paired with your actual surname.

Hudson Everett - Hmm, Hudson is interesting.

Lucas Owen nn Luke - I love Lucas and I love Luke. I also really like Owen for a middle name.

Judson Everett nn Judd - Judson is interesting. I am not a fan of Judd though, but I really like Jude.

Owen Adler - I like Owen. Adler is okay also.

Owen Lucas - I like this. I think Owen Lucas flows better than Lucas Owen, but it depends on your last name too.

Sutton Wyatt - Sutton is not my style. Wyatt is okay. It seems western to me.

Grayson Asher - I am really warming up to Asher lately. I don't like Grayson, though.

Grayson Maddox - Not my style.

Grayson Wiley - Not my style.

Grayson Adler - Not my style.

You seem to like surnames, right? I really like Bennett and Riley for boys. I am also warming up to Carter. Good luck choosing a name.

Responding to everyone's feedback ( I really appreciate it).. We arent expecting yet but Dh and I are kind of planners and are trying to start early to avoid taste issues. For the most part I like slightly different names, especially since our last name is a very very common one. Dh likes different names too, however he tends to go towards ones that I find trendy or slightly trashy sounding. He is wary of anything he hasn't heard before so I have to start early so they don't sound weird to him. Currently he wants to name a girl Mattingly (like the baseball player). I applauded his idea but explained that it sounded slightly harsh and that I absolutely couldn't have another maddie. way to overused. He also likes Serenity, which no offense to anyone but
