Your help on names for #4!!!
4
Thu, 04-12-2007 - 11:03am

Hi - we're not sure yet what we are having - we'll find out in 2 weeks - but I have a feeling it's a girl - (which probably means it a boy...hehe) Anyway, this is baby number 4...we have Jackson Thomas - called Jack (10), Lucas James - called Luke (8) and Kendall Jayn - called Keni (3). We need some help on names...mn ideas are Clare, Paige, Elisabeth and Mae (girls) and Daniel, Andrew and ????? for boys.

The names we are tossing around are below...but feel free to offer any other suggestions.

Girl ideas: (something with the same feel as Kendall - recognizable but not prissy)
Shelby
Chandler
Mallory

Boy ideas:
Ty (don't like Tyler - maybe Tyson?)
Nic (but not sure if we like any "proper" names associated with it)
Colten/Colter
Harrison (nn Harris)

Thanks!
Timmie (and yes I'm a girl)

I like Shelby from your girls list. Shelby Paige is nice.
Other ideas for a girl:
Andrea (Andie)
Brenna
Hayden
Layne
Morgan
Neil (I know, it's a boys name, but I like it for a girl!)
Rhyan (pronounced Ryan)
Harper
Blythe
Sloane (one of my favorites and it goes so nicely w/ Kendall. I like Sloane Elizabeth very much!)

I like Harrison best from your boys list, but I think I'd avoid another -son name since you have a Jackson. Do you want another name that ends w/ a hard CK like Jack and Luke? Jack and Luke are very strong handsome names, I think these are too...
Brock
Holden
Grant
Vaughn
Brogan
Conrad
Marcus (nn Marc)
Blake
Gage
Pierce
Cole (I like this much better than Colton or Colson)
Russell
Sean

Good Luck!

I love Mallory. Jackson, Lucas, Kendall and Mallory sound perfect together!

Out of the boy names you listed, I like Colton, especially w/ nn Cole- I think Jack, Luke and Cole make great brothers. You could also use Nicholas and have nn's choice of both Cole or Nic

As for nm- I'm a fan of using a mn that has meaning or significance for you and/or your family.

Good Luck-
Annie

With Jackson Thomas - called Jack (10), Lucas James - called Luke (8) and Kendall Jayn - called Keni (3):

Girl ideas: (something with the same feel as Kendall - recognizable but not prissy)
Shelby- LOVE this. I find Shelby so cute and spunky, and it doesn't seem trendy or kre8tif
Chandler- Okay.. I still prefer it for a boy but it's growing on me
Mallory- Adorable. This is a beautiful, striking name.

How about: Tatum, Tamsin, Stella, Adelia, Delia, Dahlia, Talia, Larissa, or Bridget?

Boy ideas:
Ty (don't like Tyler - maybe Tyson?)- Tyson is nms, and Ty seems very nicknamey. I don't love this option for you
Nic - again, very nicknamey. I don't use it on its own. What about Nicolai or Nicholas?
Colten/Colter- seems madeup
Harrison (nn Harris)- PERFECT! This is by far the nicest name on your list. It has a full name that is classy and strong, and a nice nn, jsut like your other boys.
