Help with a Baby Name!!!

My kids names are Aubrey and Bryce...not very common names but not off the wall either, although Aubrey seems to be gaining in popularity. My sister loves unique names. She named her 1st daughter Emerson and her newest daughter is named Kennedy. She was going to do either Maddox or Liam if it was a boy. My husband and I had fun looking at this site when I was pregnant: http://www.angelfire.com/id2/heathersnamepage/ Good Luck!

Quinn
Nathalia
Brenda
Kiteria
Magdalena
Theresa
Anika
Emma
This are some names in my family that I don't hear so much around here

Well, start by getting pregnant. We have secondary infertility, so I refuse to talk baby names until I'm pregnant. However, I'll play along...

Ones that I like-

Clementine
Alana
Elaina
Clara
Claire
Annabell
Isabell (Izzy)
Janessa
Janie
Ruth
Phoenix
Madelyn
Priscilla
Gabriella

I like the suggestions for Kinley especially because it goes so well with Kenzie and they both seem like a shorter version of McKenzie and McKinley. I'm all for naming your children complimenting names though! Some unique ones I've heard lately though are...

Brylie
Mayson
Evie

Good luck!

Emerson, Reese, Finley, Hadley

For REALLY unique names... go OLD. Old celtic, latin, greek, norse.

I'd avoid old asian names, however, since there's always a likelihood of naming your baby Dung Beetle or something that rhymes with another common asian word that you *wouldn't want it to* on accident. We don't have a good meaning set of old asian names here in the west... we DO have a good meaning set on European names. Sort of like how I had a friend in school named Hickey (because his non english speaking parents thought is sounded good). Poor kid.

Or

Jump into the "new" old: Names that have died out in the past two centuries. Jump into ancestry.com and start checking out old family girl names. Amelia, Eunice, Astrid, Wylie, (I really love Astrid & Wylie, for some reason), Anneka, Trynije, Electra, Manirva, Emaline, Gladys, Aspah, Comfort, Desire, Peace, Experience, Esther, Tomazine, Agnes, Mabel, Fatima, Maren, Harriet, Florence, Palsapianna, Mehitabel, Millicent, etc. are all just a handful of names in my own family tree... and only from one branch. Comfort, Desire, Faith, & Experience weren't sisters, btw... but each from a different century on disparate branches that just happen to all lead back to my great grandmother.

OR

Jump continents. Granted you always end up with the possibility of naming your child the equivillent of Dorcas in how locals think of the name... or a name like Katje that is really rare HERE but as common as Sarah THERE... but there are sooooo many beautiful and rare (here) names from overseas. Same token, there are SPELLINGS and just slight pronunciations that are just different. Aoife = Eva (technically ee-fa is the irish pronunciation), Kat-a-rina (instead of Ka-treen-a).

Have fun!

Our baby girl is Finley, but I also really like Brinlee

i am a sucker for unique yet classic names. thus my first child being named Emma 12 years ago. from the movie Much Ado About Nothing. Emma was at #84 on the charts that year. how could I know that Jennifer Aniston would name her child Emma the very next year & skyrocket the name to #1? still ticks me off to this very day! if only DH would have gone with MY choice, Corrine. (from the VC Andrews books.) Cora for short.
We hit a home run 2 years later with our son, Corbett. Named after James Corbett, the author and man-eating tiger hunter of India who guarded Queen Elizabeth in Africa the night before she became queen. A friend of mine, while on assignment to India to the James Corbett National Park, told the curators about us naming our son after the author. They were so impressed we received a life-time invitation as personal guests at the park. (haven't cashed that one in yet.) ANYWAY, enough about my kids, onto yours. what i'm trying to illustrate is to name your child after something near and dear to you. a historical figure, an author, someone who might hold the same values you do or want to hold your child up to. My only bit of caution would be not to pick a living person, unless their legacy is so set in stone that their name can't be ruined. (such as brett in the state of wisconsin (lol!) or michael vick.) good luck!!!!

My best friends granddaughter is
Zeanna Marie

I named my daughter Leandra Raine (pronounced Lee-Ann-Drah) I thought of it by my middle name and my great grandmother's name Lee and my grandmothers name Sandra. Raine I just love... A very unique name for a very unique little girl :)

If our 5th had been a girl we would have used the name Loella, nickname of Loey (like Joey). I love that name because it sounds so old fashioned, but It is still so very unusual. I have only heard that name once in my life, and have never seen it in any baby name lists. Some of the other unusual names I have seen.... Keezia, Kezia, Kajsa (pronounced like kice-a), I have also heard of Regan, Carsen and Corbin each used as girl names. Good luck!

I love the name Kennedy

I think there is great inspiration from classic novels but if you are going for different, I think Tallulah is pretty.
Also Emerson is becoming quite popular, you can shorten it to Emmy which sounds so cute. Good luck!

Because I'm a good old-fashioned nerd, my daughter's name (Alanna) came from my favorite book. If we ever have a boy, his name will be Kenshiro, from my husband's favorite anime. (Told you I was a nerd.)

I really, really like old Greek and Latin names that have fallen out of favor. Minerva, Persephone, Philomena, Althea, Theodosia, etc.

Good luck with TTC!

Hope some of these help

I don't like the idea of something "similar to Kenzie (which I love!).

Peyton
Parker
Brooklyn
Sara

I wanted a different name for our 2nd daughter and we came up with the name Jenika Jorryn or J.J. for short or Jen.

What about the name Keegan? I actually liked Teegan, but my hubby held firm for Chloe, which I also loved. Don't worry about the name. You've got time and eventually he'll hear a name that's on your list that he'll fall in love with. Also, I just moved here from St. Louis, where the girl's name, Maeve (sounds like "wave" but with a "m") is very popular. I had never heard it before, but it's gaelic.

Kenzie is a Celtic girl's name so how about another like Kaylie? I was a Gilmore Girls fan so I like the name Rory. Brianna is pretty and Bree is a cute nickname, and I like Brenna, like my sister

I have 2 girls and a boy
girls ...CAMRYN JANELLE and CASSIDY RENAE

boy...KHAYMAN DEAN (pronounced like the cayman island)

there where several neat names already supplied to you, however had to tell you what I named my daughter (28 yrs ago). saw it as a charactor in a movie in the 70's and when she came out a girl not the boy everyone thought I was having I went back to that name. Tranquillity Jo. My intent was to call her TJ, however she never liked that name. When she was little she may not have cared for the name much but as she got older she really like it. There is only 1 and for good or bad people don't forget her.

By the way we have a long last name too yet she could print her whole name before 4.

Good luck lots of unusual names out there.

If the 3rd was a gurl I was going to name her rainie or harmonie always liked them 2 names. But we had a boy instead and we ain't going to have anymore. But you can go to www.babynames.com to look up names that's where I found my sons name jaiven. Good luck!

I LOVE playing the name game! LOL

Here are some I like:
Jaren (our son's name, but also heard of it as a girls name)
McKenna (which is gaining popularity)
Kendall
Corinne (Cori for short)
Tiegan (also gaining popularity)
Elliana (Ellie for short)
Adelyn (Addie for short)

Good luck on TTC!

I have a list that I created. My husband and I didnt agree on our 2nd daughters name either, but after he saw all the work I went through at the hospital he said I could name her, so I pulled out my list and let him pick his favorite. Here is my list:

Aspen
Regan
McKenna
Emerson
Ashton
Braylee
Autumn
Skylar
Mya
Taryn
Kenzie

We went with Kenzie Marie. Our first daughter's name is Joslyn Rain

We were going to go with Camryn if we had a girl. At the time is was #644 on the list of popular girl's names. Now I think it's in the top 100, but it's still not very popular. I did notice someone else responded that her daughter was named Camryn, too. It's a beautiful name, I love the way it looks, it's easy to pronounce, etc. Good luck!

My daughter is Finleigh Ella(and I've never heard of another "Finley", "Finlie" etc.). It took us nine months to pick her name out too! I really liked Kenlie and McKinlie when we were picking names too but couldn't convince the hubby.

If our kids had been girls they would have been Tianna (pronounced Tee-Anna) LaRae and Brielle Matina. Instead we have 2 boys, Barret Kenneth and Devlon Winfield. We're done, but I still love those girl names.
You could also say that my sisters and I have different names - Monique, K. & Rakel. Good luck with your pregnancy!
