Baby naming fun :)

Please look at what the popular names are. And don't use any of them. My name was the most popular name for girls the year I was born. It's a little annoying to share a name with 8 other girls in your class.
And nothing too cutesy. She's going to grow up and have to be taken seriously. "Capri" may sound cute now but it's not so cute on a 40 year old woman.
And avoid silly/convoluted spelling. It's just going to lead to a world of trouble later.

i didn't realize my post was going to ignite your fury like that.

I would like to think it was my post that set her off.

Alyssa (possibly Joanne for a middle name bc it's a family name. My name is Dixie Joanne) I like this one best, out of the ones you have listed. Pretty, not highly in use, easy to pronounce, doesn't sound like it was invented in a trailer park, somewhere...
Tessa (my husbands favorite) This one is nice, too. I know a Tessa. It wouldn't be a name choice for myself, but she seems to carry it well, and it flows with your surname
Capri (We both like it) Capri Dosang? Capri Do-SUN! She'll either be compared to pants, or a fruit punch, throughout her life. No. Just... NO.
Lexie (probably Joanne again as a middle) Hate it. This is a nickname of a proper, real name. It would not carry well into adulthood. If you must use it, use it as a nickname at home, and give her the proper form of Alexis or Alexandra.
Gracelyn (we both like) I greatly dislike this one, as well. It's a more recently popularized mashup of two classic names. Put together, it sounds like something decidely UNclassic and UNclassy, and in the same vein as those people who name their kids things like Brooklyn, Jayden, Dakotah, etc. It's cutesy, and again will not carry well into adulthood.


I'll tell you the name I hope to give to my first daughter, when I eventually have one, because I think I have come up with a middle name that is uncommon where I live, but that also flows well... without being some "filler" name like "Anne" or "Marie" ("Marie" is my middle name. It flows well with my first name, but it IS a ridiculously common go-to middle name). I love the name "Audrey Corinne". "Audrey" is a definite must, after my maternal grandmother, and "Corinne" (with the ko-RIHN pronunciation) is a beautiful, classic name deserving of a comeback, IMHO.

Other names I like are "Hannah" (or "Hanna", which I like as a diminutive of "Johanna", a common name in my family and Dutch cultural background... though don't use this name with the middle name "Joanne", because they are derived from a common source). I also like "Evelyn". I knew an Evelyn when I was in elementary school, and always thought the name was really pretty. Yet another classy name deserving of a comeback.

Paisley is a cute name. I love love love cadence.

My youngest, 12 weeks, is names Kaydence. We love it too. Our other daughters name is Reagan.

Kirra
Alyese (pronounced A-lease)
Kylee

These were the names we had picked out for our children.... we had boys...both times...lol!

Nichole.

I always wished my last name was Whacker, just so I could have a son and name him Tally. :-D

Congrats! My kids are all grown, I named my youngest with NOBODY giving input because frankly I knew it was my last and I was naming her myself!! I still love her name - Drew Kirsten. Anyway, there is a young mom I know that named her daughters Braceyn, they call her Bracy for short, I thought it was cute. It is kinda different.....:happy:

I like Maddison...Maddy

Gracelyn is cute too. I love Cheyenne. named my last baby Peyton Cheyenne.

Good luck

of names mentione i like Alyssa Gracelyn

I love Gracelyn !! I also love Ella Kate and Ella Claire. Lila , Layla, Scarlett, and Levi which could be boy or girl! Good Luck and congrats on the new baby coming ! )

I'm pretty sure it was. I mean, you clearly were completely serious, you mysogynist!

I know right??! It was from years of being beat down by my wife, 4 daughters, female cat and female dog.

i just feel sorry for the guy who just said "lmao" being lumped in with us.

Really, you're all an embarrassment to your gender. I don't know how you can live with yourselves.

Me and my husband are going head to head over choosing the perfect name for our daughter. (In a friendly way of course) We just cannot agree! I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and I am sooooo ready to find my sweet girl a name. I am from Georgia, he's from Louisiana and we live in Louisiana now. Want something kinda tough and country, but not hickish. Our last name is Dusang (pronounced DO-SANG) We have a two year old son named Trace Victor Dusang (and we both absolutely adore his name). But that's where I'm having the hardest time...gotta find something that I think is as awesome as Trace and that sounds good with it. Want something unusual, but not weird. I'm not really into common or trendy names.
The ones we like so far are:
Alyssa (possibly Joanne for a middle name bc it's a family name. My name is Dixie Joanne)
Tessa (my husbands favorite)
Capri (We both like it)
Lexie (probably Joanne again as a middle)
Gracelyn (we both like)

I need ideas! Help! We just can't decide. I'm waiting on that perfect name to just spring out at us and I haven't found it yet. I've tried name books and websites. Most are either weird or too popular. Throw me some names folks!

Out of your choice of names I really like Alyssa and Lexie.

I've got a 16 month old daughter called Maya (pronounced My-a, the Spanish way). Other names I liked at the time were: Chloe, Amélie, Daisy, Isabella, Claudia, Arianna....

I like names for girls that aren't too popular, although actually Chloe is a very popular name in the UK.

I have a son called Jack who's 3, and that was either no. 1 or 2 on the popular name list for 2009, but we both really liked the name, and it suits him so well.

oh, i knew i was an embarrassment...


i just didn't figure that this was the clincher.

No on Capri - correct, she will be confused with pants or fruit punch
No on Alyssa - she will be confused with 50% of her classmates of the same name.

Joanna Dixie (changing your name around just a little)
or
Tara - a wonderful simple 4 leter name.
or
if you are looking for a T name - use mine. Patricia, but my entire life my family has called me Tricia. No children for me....so you are welcome to use it.
