Peyton- I like a lot.
Sailor/Saylor- I like Saylor but not Sailor
Finn- Like.
ML/Mary Liz- I think it sounds nice together, but not my favorite.
Ella- its nice
Hudson- LOVE.

And no, I don't think Ella and Emily are too simalar to be sisters.

Okay, no offence to anyone who likes the name 'Sailor', but what is the deal with this name? Why the sudden popularity? Why name your kid a random naval occupation? I just don't get the appeal, and I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten me here.

Saylor/Sailor Kathryn = I like Sailor (please don't make it Saylor, although it's just how Taylor came from "tailor" :P)and I like Kathryn, but not together, because their styles clash too much. I like Sailor better as a mn, because anything after it makes it sound like a Sailor Moon character.
Peyton Caroline = same here, and even more. I'm also not a fan of Peyton, it feels a lot more of a boys' name.
Robert Finn (nn Finn - Robert is a family name) = this one sounds just fine
Campbell Grace (nn Ella Grace) = not bad at all, plus I'm a big fan of Ella, and I quite like Grace
Mary Elizabeth (nn Mary Liz/ML - Mary is a family name) = Veeeery pretty and chic too. She could go by Mary Elle too.
Hudson O'Rourke = it's strong and masculine, but I'm not sure I like two last names for a name.

The names you don't think you'll be using are all pretty great names actually :) I like Ruby, Lux and Miley the best.
I've always liked Ella Ruby for a girl.

you crack me up XD

oops i forgot: Emily and Ella.. well, they're not too similar, but the might wind up being Emmy and Elly for 'short' and that would be super-close.
I'd like my kids' names to be more each of their own, honestly.
But you could still use one as fn and the other as a mn :)

I actually thought i would get totally attacked for Sailor, i have liked it forever - originally when Lauryn Hill's Miseducation of Lauryn Hill came out - i think her daughters name is Sela (sell-a) or something like that - but when i heard it i thought it was Sailor and i thought it sounded cool.

So for me it had nothing to do with sailing (although i love to sail) it was more just that i have bad hearing haha

See i prefer Sailor as well, as i'm not a huge creative spelling person - but i wasnt sure if it looked silly as Saylor. Thanks for liking Sailor :)

And i agree with you on the Ella and Emmy thing - bummer.

oh and Lux and Miley arent out as final names all together - they just arent in the top as of today haha

Love love love Finn & Harper! Miley is nice too :)

Mary E is another cute nickname for Mary Elizabeth.

I wouldn't go with Ella and Emily, but I have a thing about using the name first letter twice.

I think Ella and Emily are adorable as sister names.

Sailor Kathryn would look WAY too Sailor Moon-ish for me.

[the-archangel.livejournal.com]

Sailor Katherine.... Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury........ Please don't name her Sailor. :(

I like Mary Elizabeth, and Ruby Elizabeth would also be lovely. Ruby is a great name for a girl.

Ella and Emily sounds adorable. After all, people use Jessica and Jennifer. My sister named her girls Allysyne (Alison) and Alexis. My brothers are Alex and Eric. Similar sounding names for siblings is very normal.

Ella and Emma would be great sister names, or twin names, I think.

I know it's come up a few times in this community, but considering my step-family are Campells, I have a hard time seeing it as a first name.
And by any chance, is Lux from 'Virgin Suicides'? Because that's the only other place I've heard it. It's interesting, though :)
