I love Eliza, Molly, Kate, and Juliet -- all of them are on my list. I HATE the name Sierra - it just seems so trendy-sounding to me. There are a ton of little girls in the elementary school I substitute teach in named Sierra or Cheyenne and the names just bug me for whatever reason. Other than Sierra, Starla, and Mackenzie, there aren't any names on the list that I really dislike, though.

For boys, I really like Maxwell, Nathanial, Jacob, Liam, and Corbin -- all but Corbin are on my list. Braden, Blake, Connor just seem so trendy to me, but other than that, the names are nice.

Sierra is actually for a song, but I know what you mean. Since it doesn't sound too great with the last name, I doubt we'll use it. But it was one of our top names for a while for sentimental reasons.

Also I am sort of a sucker for trendy names!

Thanks for your input!

Despite having had a dog named Bailey, I really, really like Bailey Jane!

[robo-mantic.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Bailey Jaye, so maybe that could be a variant? Jaye just seems like a really unique middle name for a girl.

Eliza Scarlet
Eliza Jane [i like this]
Starla Jane
Starla Renee
Gabriella Kate
Mackenzie Kate
Molly Jane

I really like Ruby Jane, even though they were both your middle name choices and the last name begins with 'R' too..


Braden Maxwell
Braden James
Connor Maxwell
Jacob Maxwell
Darin Cole
Blake Nathaniel

Again with the 2 middle names...i like Nathaniel James.

Kate*- Bit boring.

Kate's not boring! I am shocked! Haha
Although I may be slightly biased as its my name!

:D

[anapology.livejournal.com]

haha, how many Kate/Katherine/Katie's do you know? because I know a gazzilion.. so IMO it is rather boring.. but then so is my name, Sophie!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Honestly I'm the only Kate I know, I know 1 Kathryn, and 2 Katie's!
It's obviously not a popular Welsh name!

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I'm in Bristol, so just across the bridge.. it's spread lots over here!!

[padfootinpurple.livejournal.com]

Wow, I love a lot of the names on your boys list. What about Braden Cole? Unfortunately all the -aden names are really popular now, although that's your decision to make on if you still want to use the name :) I also like the combination Jacob Matthew.

Like: Eliza, Gabriella, Jane (but only for a middle name) Juliet, Kate, Renee (although I'm starting to think of this as more of an exclusive boys' name).

Nice-sounding combinations therefore:
Eliza Jane, Eliza Kate, Eliza Renee, Gabriella Eliza, Gabriella Renee, Kate Renee, Renee Jane.

Also like: Owen and Matthew. I think Matthew Owen would be a good combination.
