Hello! Just wanted opinions on my current name ideas....
our
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.
I like Eden Amelia and Cooper Flynn...Grayson Wiley also sounds great!
Avery Malia
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
Girls - Samara, Mila and Linnea are gorgeous!
Linnea Catherine is just BEAUTIFUL! I love it!
I also like:
Marina Quinn
Samara Paige
Maren (w/ diff. mn- maybe Maren Elise?)
For the boys, I love Sutton but would prefer it w/ mn Sutton Gray or Sutton Luke. I also really like Lucas Owen.
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
I have loved Eden for a long time and I think it sounds
Avery Kate - Avery is a huge guilty pleasure for me but I definitely prefer it on a boy. Ava Katherine would be worlds better.
