Yet Another Baby Name Question

Stella and Blaise

Let your son name his daughter after a batman thing.

Please think hard before you saddle a girl with "Harlee Quinn." She's going to get teased by kids, and adults will bug you with "How cute" or "Why didn't you just name her the real word, 'Harlequin,'" or "Is that from Batman?" It sounds so cute now but think how she will feel about it when she's a preteen and up -- she would be within her rights to beg you to change it, frankly.

A Bentley (spelled with the E) is an extremely high-end automobile and sounds kind of overly grand to me. Why not just go with some combination of the family names Earl and Alfred and something like Logan or Blaise? I'm not nuts about Blaise either as it's sure original but again sounds kind of too much. I haven't seen a child named Earl in ages, and that name would work as well at 30 and 70 as at two -- something to consider for any name.

I love Stella Jane, it sounds quaint yet professional all at the same time.
I can hear myself say "Stella Jane! Get down from there right now!!"
Harlee Quinn sounds too much like the Harlequin novels.....
Bentley Earl is different, sounds like a fine English Tea.--- Ben E being the nickname for that one.

I'm sure you find the perfect name for your child. On first read to me,
Harlee Quinn sounds like Harlequin (a publisher of romance novels) and I am not sure about Blaise. It is the first name of a 16th century mathematician, Blaise Pascal, but it could be mispronounced as "blase" meaning "indifferent or unconcerned". Stella Jane would be my favorite for a girl and Logan for a boy!
Good luck!

Love Delilah! I can't stand earl. How about Nicholas, William. Or Samuel? Those are my favorite boys names :)

If you want to stick with the comic theme...Logan James ( I think) is the name of Wolverine. I could be wrong, but I still like the sound of it and of Harlee Quinn, even if they have pop culture connections.

I like Logan James. Delilah doesn't really flow with Nicole for me - and I like Delia better but then, I'm not the one picking :) Good luck in choosing!

I love Stella Jane! I would personally spell it Harley if you use it, that's how most people will assume it is, I have lived my entire life spelling and pronouncing my name and hated it, Harley is uncommon enough without changing the spelling. And I like Delia better than Delilah. Or I like Lila!

Logan is in the top five names this year so I'd stay away from it. Don't care for Blaise, spelling again on that one too. I love bentley, also maybe Landon, Leland, Blake, gentry, Adam (batman!), west, Weston, Grayson, Blaine, Carson, Donovan, Maddox, madsen, Hudson, Nathan, drew, Oliver, Tristan?

I love Harlee Quinn for a girl, that is original and sweet. And I also like Logan James and Bentley Earl for the boy names.

i know you like your girl names but i'd like to throw my fav's out too.
Brooklyn Isabel
Kemply Rae
Arianna Rae

as for boys
Jackson
Ethan
Dominic
Tristan

I didn't get the question, but here's a thought to consider: While Harlee Quinn sounds nice, think about what other kids will be saying in middle & high school - you don't want her to feel like the name you gave her led to much teasing (i.e., comparing your daughter to a motorcycle). Good luck choosing, & best wishes for a healthy baby who sleeps like an angel!

I like Delilah Nicole and I like Bently. NOt crazy about Earl but as mentioned below if its a family name thats fine. My brother is Logan. Not many his age (32) but I am hearing it a lot these days.

The things with ordinary names is that with everyone trying to go with unique names the unique names become ordinary. I think you should name your kid whatever you want! but if you want honesty I don't like any of those names except Logan James. I like old fashion names, such as Charlotte, or Sophia, or Grace for girls, and Christopher, Jacob, Nicholas for a boy

Good point several people have made about Harlee Quinn sounding like Harlequin. Harlee with another middle name would be nice. Delilah is cute, makes me think of that song "hey there Delilah..." Like someone else said, it doesn't really flow with Nicole. Too many L's. Stella Jane has a nice ring to it.

Blaise + Alfred is like new meets old. I picture Blaise as a gay man. I like Logan James. Bentley Earl sounds like the Earl of Bentley. A little too pretentious.

Sorry to be cruel but I work with children and none of the names except Logan are normal. There are millions of names~pick one that your child will not have to be embarrased over as they age!

Love Harlee Quinn for a girl! Blaise is very original for a boy, too. I think you'll find the answer when you see your baby as opposed to complete strangers on this forum :-). He or she might "look" like a say, Bently or Harlee, etc.

Congrats and happy naming.

Logan is pretty popular, so I'd go with one of the other boy names. I like either Bentley or Blaise with Stephen. i tend to try out what goes with my other kid's names :)

All your names sound wonderful! Blaise is definitely a unique name. :-) Not fond of 'Earl", but if it's a family name, it's understandable. :-D

Keep playing around with the names until you find one that you just can't do without. :-)

For me, Jayda Lyn was my girls name if we had a girl. But we have two gorgeous boys, Jonathan and Dawson. Both of them stem from my husband's name "David". Jonathan, in the Bible is the son of Saul and friend of David, while Dawson in the English origin, means "son of David". Neato huh.

I spent hours on the net searching for names and picking out several and having my husband talk with me about the names and so forth. It was fun.

Congrats to you! Finding out the gender is awesome! I found out the gender of my boys too when it was time. It was fun getting things ready for them. :-D
