So What Happened?

Isabella is my great grandmas name and my hubby doesnt like it as a first name, it was pulling teeth to get it as a middle name. All my kids have a family members name as their middle name. We also like unique names. My daughter is Madisyn LouAnne and my son is Caden Tyler. We arent all about the flow or if it sounds good together, we are more about the family connection. I want something no one else has and something that doesnt sound old, but instead fresh and new.

I like the Rylan. I can't stand "alternative" spellings like Brittyn. I like the NAME Britain if it is signifying something. If it is just to be different it's kind of weird. Same thing with Aspen. Just my opinions.

*Adding this: What about "Jasmine." or "Jessamine."
"Delphine" or "Liliane" or, "Simone", (all french names that end in the 'n' sound), or "Jordan", or "Devon"
---------------------------------------

Rylan/Rylin is nice but sounds like a 'boy' to me. She may be called "Ry" for short maybe. Or confused with the name "Ryan."
If you choose "Rylan/Rylin" I like the one spelled "Rylan" better. "Rylin" to me sounds/looks like a medicine.

I don't care for the spelling of "Brittyn." Or it is like "Britain." the country. She may be called "Brit" for short by some people.
To me, "Brittyn Isabella" is sort of hard to say... doesn't flow.

I like Aspen. That is a place name too.

I guess you like the "n" endings in names??? for the first name?

I'm not a huge fan of your choices, and my concern is your daughter hating her name when she's older. However, it's YOUR call, U and your spouse/partner are the ones to choose.

At least UR not considering Dweezil, Moon Unit, Apple, or Tuesday, then I'd REALLY b worried about your daughter!

hmmm....no matter which one you choose, she will spend her life either repeating her name or spelling it over and over again...

Might be nice to consider Isabella Rylan, Isabella Brittyn, or Isabella Aspen. It would definitely make her life easier.

I like Rylan the best. Prepare for Ry and Rylie nicknames. (both cute though.)
I agree with the PP about "alternative" spellings like "Brittyn" and I think Aspen is a bit too cheesy.
If you are after a "Britt" nickname, I'd go with Brittany.

Have you considered Brooklyn?

i like Rylan Isabella, for the simple fact we named our little girl Mackenzy instead of the Mackenzie and people always look at us like we are crazy because of the way we spelled it,( "can u spell that again please")common question we get asked) we were trying to get away from the typical spelling because that is how the last name "mackenzie" is spelled... guess thats the price you pay to be different...

I actually like Lucy Isabella, but of your 3 choices I like Rylin Isabella. Good luck choosing. Don't worry about it though. When you look into your baby's face, the name will come to you. And it will fit her perfectly.

Our family does the same thing. Somehow their first or middle name is from someone in the family. Our 3rd is Faye Isabel. Maybe you'll know for sure when you see her :)

I would go with Rylyn with the two y's so that she isn't confused for a boy or Aspen. Brittyn is just going to be shortened to brit which i don't really like.

answers from Killeen on

I was also wondering how Brittyn would be pronounced. Britlyn would also be nice. Is Isabella a family name? Isabelle would flow better. I don't like Aspen- especially for a girl, but I like Rylan- but agree that Rylin is not my preferred spelling.

Rylan Isabella.

I think folks will misspell Brittyn (thinking its a typo for Brittney) all her life.

I like Rylan the best, but if I just saw the first name alone, I wouldn't be sure if the child was a girl or a boy. What about Isabella as her first name, with Bella for short?

Have you considered dropping the a off the middle name and ending it with an e? I think a middle name ending with an a can be awkward sounding sometimes.

I like Brittyn best, Rylan/Rylin sounds like a boy's name to me, and Aspen is a little too hippie.

How about Brittania Isabella.
I dont really like any of the choices with Isabella.
And why hide it?
Though She might be called Izzy?

How about Rosie Isabella? or Roslyn Isabella?
Or L. Isabella? Best of Luck.
When we named our girl we had to work with naming her after 3 close relatives who passed away. We ended up giving her first name a shorter version of her grandmothers name. The middle name was after my Dad, a grandfather and it was Hyphenated with a shorter name for her Other Grandfather since we did not plan on any other children and were the last of our generation to most likely have a child.
Sincerely,
