Our son is 4 and his name is Braeden Lane L.

Baby #2 Girl Name: Landrey Brooke or Landrey Paige

Baby #2 Boy Name: Jace Logan or Grayson Dean (after my husband)--I guess I see how Jayce could be pronounced like a girl's name Jacey...so I guess we will do Jace....what do ya think Jace or Jase?

Opinions? Suggestions?

What can I do next?

I don't normally respond to these, as I think names should be completely up to the parents, but I had to say that I actually love all the names above. Love the names, and the spellings.

Grayson Dean for boy
Have always love the name Paige so I would be biased toward that for a girl. I think Paige Landrey sounds just as good as Landrey Paige.

Since you asked...not really a fan of Landrey either, but both middle names are beautiful. I have a cousin named Jace and he is always referred to as Chase by mistake. Love Grayson, but the brae-gray is a bit cutesey. My favorite of names you listed is Dean.

To be honest, I love Brook or Paige - so sweet!- but Landrey sounds a bit too much like laundry to me. Brooke Paige L. Paige Brook L. - omg, love it! Logan and Dean are great, too. My husband had no idea how to pronounce Jayce (Jase or JC?)...not sure you want your kid to grow up correcting that sort of thing. Dean Logan L.? Oooh - liking it! You are rocking the middle names, in my humble opinion. :D Good luck with your search!

Can not say I care for Landrey at all, or Jayce. I know a lot of Graysons so I am not sure I would use that either. I do like Logan and Dean, and Paige is cute.

To be honest, when I read Landrey, I thought of the word laundry.

I do like the two middle names a lot if you have a girl, though. (Paige and Brooke)

Are you thinking about naming your baby if it's a boy, the same name exactly as your husband or are using just his middle name? I have heard from moms on Mampedia that sometimes they wished they would have named their son something different than their husbands. (I just think it could get confusing calling one of them and the other one comes to you instead.) Unless one went by a the shortened name.... say Jim and Jimmy or Robert and Bobby. We named our son after my father in law and gave him my husband's name for his middle name.

I love Dean for a middle name, but I am biased! My son's name is Michael Dean. Jayce looks cool! (Okay... I'm reading into the name but... Jayce makes me think of a cool kid, who gets along with a lot of kids.... a popular boy.) Okay... crazy me... reading into a name! (I like the y in Jayce.... leave it that way! I think a poster said it would might be difficult for some to pronounce... really? I don't see how it's that's difficult. You look at it and break it up.... Jay and ce tells me, at least, that it is pronounce Jace.

Grayson is just okay in my opinion. I guess because I look at the first part and see gray...... and think of the color gray and that is not a cheery color to me. (reading into names again... right!? ~ that's me!)

I like Logan a lot, and I always thought of it as a boy's name until I met a girl named Logan and she is such a sweetheart. (She's in my girl scout troop)
How about Logan Dean L.? (Is either one of these names also your husband's name, either his first or middle name?) I know you are trying to incorporate his name into it.

My daughter and I have the same middle name and she has always loved that fact.
Also... Is your son's name pronounced Bray- den? If so, and you have another boy, their first names will rhyme if you call them by only their first syllables. Brae and Gray. (Not sure if you thought of that already and like it or maybe you didn't think about that and don't want their names (first syllable only) to rhyme.

Well... only you and your husband have to be happy with your baby's name. And I know you already know that. I hope I've shed some insight on your baby's naming process, though. Good luck to you and congratulations! Babies are such blessings!!

Of the choices above, I would say Landrey Brooke and Grayson Dean.

I like the name Logan, too. I think spelling the name Jayce makes it look more like a girl's name (it makes me think of the little girl Jaycee who was kidnapped). If you decide to go with that one, how about Jace?

I like both of the girls names, but Jayce is bound for a lifetime of explanation. I think people will default to "Jay-See", which is more of a girl's name. I like James, Jameson, and George instead.

i prefer Landrey Paige. It has a nice flow to it.
I like Grayson Dean. I like the name Jayce too but think it looks feminine with the Y and like Jase spelling better.

Just my $.02. Great names!!!

P.S. There is no rule that says the first born should have been named after your husband. In my family, my father was named after my grandfather and my dad was the 3rd son born. Why do people say things like that?!

I vote for Landrey Brooke because I like the flow and I like how the initials work with your 1st child...BL turns into LB.

I vote for Jace just because I think Grayson and Braeden sound similar when you are yelling for boys to get into the car...I like the shortness of Jace. I have only known one boy named that, so I like how it is unique also.

Grayson Dean is very handsome... Logan is a sweet name too, but I know a couple Logans, so you might get into having a more common name with that one.

I'm not a fan of Landrey... I don't know why. I haven't heard it before so I don't have any associations with it... I do like both Brooke and Paige!

I think Grayson and Braeden would be too close sounding. We know a Landry (girl) and I love Brooke and Paige. Know TONS of Jayce, Jace, Jayci (that one's a girl)...so if you are going for a bit unusual, that probably isn't it. congrats!

Jayce looks like a girl. If you wanted someone who would command respect would you want a brain surgeon named Jayce? In the world of girls and boys names Landrey like Lindsey would be a boy so Landray like Lindsay would be a girl.

I like Grayson better than jace, but don't dislike jace! And definitely not jase. I love Landry, but spelled without the e, because that's the common spelling for it and I don't like having a name that needs to be spelled for everyone! Landry is super cute for a girl! Landry Paige flows better than Landry Brooke.

I love them all! I just want to run the monograms for Landrey Paige by you, with last name in the middle (as typical monograms are done) she would be LLP - LOL. (limited liability partnership - many law firms are LLPs hee hee).
I like your spelling of Jace :)
Congratulations!

answers from San Antonio on

I like Landrey Brooke, Landrey Paige, Jace or Jayce Logan, Jace or Jayce Dean. Not a huge fan of Grayson peronsally. Not sure why. I think it's b/c there's a street here in San Antonio called Grayson Street. Every Halloween they have a haunted house on Grayson, so that always pops into my head when I hear the name.

I don't like Jase at all (that spelling). I think Jayce looks like it'd be pronounced just like Jace - one syllable and all. I liked the name Jace way back when. My initials are JC and I wanted to have my son be Jace. I think Jace is on the top 50 names for 2011, some list that just came out recently.

I like Landrey Paige and Jayce Dean (I know you didn't put those together, but I like those together.... if you are into nicknames, he could be JD. When I see Jayce, I want to pronounce the "e" on the end, like Jacey... but I don't think it is that big of a deal.

Out of all the above names...I like the Lane and Brooke....I always liked Brooke with Lynn as a middle name...like the city. It kinda rolls off your tongue....Brooke Lynn L.. Don't care for the Landrey...probably be called laundry.....Jayce...reminds me of a club...Grayson...don't know where that comes from...just sounds thrown together...Dean is kinda old school. Paige is kinda okay...but not a choice I would make. But good luck with whatever you decide...just don't go overboard with unique spellings...mistakes will follow them throughout their life.

Grayson is a wonderful name, but it may sound matchy with Braedon. I love Dean!. I like both Brooke and Paige. Names like Jace and Landrey are NMS, but it's not my baby! Good luck
