i'm not pregnant, i just love names! here are my favorites ...

boys

ethan andrew
elliot laurence
ian dei

girls

mckaleigh carys
jocelyn alana



- 'dei' is pronounced like "day"

- 'mckaleigh' is pronounced mah-kay-lee. this is the only girl name i have really fallen in love with. a few years ago, i saw an athlete on tv named michellie ... it's the same pronounciation. i LOVE that name, but i know that no one would be able to pronounce it if it was spelled michellie and that is the only way i have seen it spelled. mckaleigh is the only other spelling i really like ... but i don't love the 'mc' at the beginning ... does anyone have any other ideas for spelling? i have looked at mikaylee, mikailey, makayley, etc ... you name it, i've seen it and haven't liked it! ;) or does anyone think michellie would be okay? maybe it's because i'm so used to that spelling, but i do think it looks the best ...

- 'carys' is pronounced carr-iss

- 'alana' is pronounced with a long "a" ... like 'lan' from land.

any thoughts?

if you need to write a whole paragraph about the pronunciation of one made up mish-mash name

haha. it's not made up ... at least not by me. it's like michaela but with an 'ee' sound instead of 'ah' at the end ... an actual person is named this. i do understand what you're saying, though. sorry the paragraph was so long. i was looking for ideas of spelling it differently.

i think ethan andrew flows well, i guess that's obvious since i like it though. thanks for your comments!

my neighbours has a daughter named Mikaylee or something like that. I forget how they spelled it.
