Our baby girl is due in 3 weeks and we finally *think* we've decided on Macy Gracelyn.

I say keep Macy, drop Gracelyn. The repetition of the "ace" sounds causes a really bad flow, and Gracelyn just seems trendy and madeup anyways. Macy is cute!


ETA Plus, it sounds a lot like Macy Gray http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy_Gray

I agree with other posters - you don't want that duplication of the ace sound - in fact I think you need to have a middle without a Long A - I think you should do without an S-or soft-C sound in the middle too - that sound in Macy is way too prominent for it to be repeated in the middle name - because I'm really picky, I don't like any that start with a vowel either with Macy ending in that long-E sound - definitely none that start with S either


how about:


Macy Brielle


Macy Brianne or Brianna


Macy Corinne


Macy Catherine


Macy Carina


Macy Dawn


Macy Gemma


Macy Joelle


Macy Janna


Macy Jenna


Macy Jillian


Macy Kathleen


Macy Lynelle (in case you had the Lyn at the end of Gracelyn for some reason)


Macy Nicole


Macy Noelle


Macy Piper


Macy Rhiannon


Macy Taleen (or you could try Talynn here if you need that lyn sound for some reason)
