A few family names I like

[rroso.livejournal.com]

Boy:
Maxton (a variation of my gpa Max) 
Hume - Perhaps as a middle name, it was my great-great gma's maiden name
Albino- I love this name (pn Al-BEE-no) it was my dh's g-gpa  (they're italian), but I don't think I could use it, especially since I'm so fair skined, I wouldn't want my baby to be made fun of for being an albino.

Girl:
Leila (pn Lee-I-La) - My gma's great Aunt
Lyda - My dh's great grandma
Ella- another great-great gma
Neva- another great aunt

I really like Hume and Neva. I'd like Leila too if it wasn't for the pronuncation issues it'd have.

I know... I wish I could think of a more phonetic way to spell Leila.

yeah, the only thing I'm coming up with is Leighila or Leighela but I don't think either of those look very pretty.

Leayla?
no that's kind of wierd I guess.

I know a woman who pronounces Leila the same way you do. Until recently, I didn't know it was a spelling of Layla (and I have issues with using the first spelling).

What about Alberto? Do you like that name?

I love love Neva =) And Ella is cute.
Leila is ok, but I don't think anyone will pronounce it Lee-I-la.
I don't like any of the boy's names, actually...
although I don't know what to think of Hume. On the one hand I kinda like it, on the other hand it reminds me of 'humiliating'. Strange, maybe, but I can't help it.
