K.B. asks from Wyoming, MI on April 21, 2009
The Name Game
Ok, this has got to be the simplest question ever asked :) What did you name your child/ren? And, what other names did you consider naming your child/ren? I have asked a similar question before and got some great responses, but still not what I'm looking for - I don't know what I'm having yet, but I cannot for the life of me come up with a girl name that I absolutely love (I even have a baby name book with 30,000 names in it and none of them are hitting me as "the one"). We have a boy name pretty well set in our minds, but are open to suggestions for a boy as well. I am hoping this question will generate a large response due to the simplicity of it :) Thank you, in advance, for your time!
So What Happened?™
Well, we found out that we are having a girl and we have decided to name her Makenna Taylor :) Thank you to everyone who responded - your time is greatly appreciated!!

My boys are Keaton and Ashton, but the girls names we considered were:
Allya, Aleah (Pronounced ah-lee-ah)
Lily (with Ann for a middle name)
Peiton (or Peyton, Payton)
Tenley
Brooklynn
Madelynne
Madison
Nevaeh (na-vay-ah, "heaven" spelled backwards)
Dakota (kote (cody) for short)
Good luck and let us know what you decide on!
***Oh, I almost forgot! A friend of ours has a daughter named Genesis and they call her Gena (Jenna) or Geni (Jenny) for short. I like that one too!

Well...for starters I love your two boys names that you already have!(hehe)What type of names do you tend to like? More Traditional, or more Modern, biblical or ethnic? I had a horrible time naming my first son. It took his dad and I many months to come up with it. We knew the middle name off the bat (Michael after my dad) but to get something original that sounded good with Michael and with his last name took some thinking. But we finally chose Seth. And I love it! He has totally grown into his name. But my next son's name was a little easier I said Cain and my husband said "Perfect" and with out really thinking it we gave our kids traditional biblical names. But I have no experince with picking out girl names but I can leave some that I enjoy.
Caroline
Emma
Sophia
Cadie (sounds like Katie)
Grace
Paige
I hope this helps you! Congrats and good luck!
