I totally prefer Adrienne over Addison and the combination I prefer is Adrienne Nicole.
I'm neutral towards Dominique but I'm not big on Sydney

Sullivan, Wynn and Ray all sound masculine to me.

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

I agree that those sounds masculine, but i'm not huge on 'girly names' and addie just screams girly to me, even though we both like it! so i guess i'm kind of balancing them out!

also because i'm having issues finding other middle names in general that sound decent

thanks for you input!

[ilovekeithurban.livejournal.com]

I like Sydney.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I like most of your names, although only Adrienne is one I'd use myself. My only suggestion is that Addie seems really really informal. It's cute on a kid, but she might wish she had something more formal/sophisticated when she's older, you know? I do like Addie as a nickname, though, so I'd stick with either Adrienne or Addison. I love it as a nickname for Adrienne, because Addison is SO popular lately, and Adrienne is just a prettier name anyway.

So, yeah. My vote is for Adrienne. I like with with ALL of your middle names, really, but my favorite is Adrienne Nicole Mayer.

I like Addie but it seems more like a nickname to me. Like it needs something else?

I like Adrienne. I kind of like Addison although it is very trendy right now. You could go with Addison with the nn Addie though. That would be cute. =]

I like Dominique Sage but since both names are unisix (well, Dominic) I would go with a more 'girly' middle name. Or do you say it Dom-in-eek? Because that's girly. I say it Dom-ih-nick..which is I think actually the masculine version. ...I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. lol

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

i feel the same about Dominique.. i like it but it needs a good middle name which hasn't jumped out at me yet i guess!

we'd say Dom-in-eek
and i know we'll get criticized for this, nn Domino
but at least it stems from a good place (in our opinions) since we are both big James Bond fans

thanks

[djador.livejournal.com]

Hah, I would totally call my kid Domino because I really like that movie. (Domino..)

I know a girl named Dominique but I can't remember her middle name. Not that you'd want to copy someone exactly, but who knows, maybe it's really nice.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I like Sydney, but with the middle name as 'Ray', there are too many y's.
Not too fond of Addie, as it seems as more of a nickname to me. Perhaps a nickname of Adele, Adelaide, Addison, etc.?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I like Dominique too, but the middle name is kind of iffy to me.

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

it's iffy to me too! :)

Love your names!

[canadianspygal.livejournal.com]

I was just looking around. Love your names, Addie is great and I love Monet. Wynn is also really pretty. Good job.

Re: Love your names!

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I love the nickname Addie, but can't see it on it's own.

I like Adrienne Monet, Adrienne Wynn (even with the n's), Adrienne Nicole but not Adrienne Ray... I don't like the name Ray, personally, and hate when people use it for a nn for me (my name is Rachel).

I don't like Sydney or Dominique...

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

that's how i feel about Mel & Lisa since my name is Melissa
and we won't even talk about the nn Missy.. just pass me the revolver so i can stick it in my mouth when someone calls me that!!

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Haha, I bet. I babysat a Melissa and most people called her Missy but I called her Missa. I just couldn't do the Missy thing.

[turtle-dove-1.livejournal.com]

I like Sydney Ray, but i think Rae looks more feminine. Maybe that's just me. I also like Addie, and if that was going to be her full first name, i like Wynn for the middle name. I happen to LOVE Sage, first or middle name. Dominique goes pretty well with it.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I agree with that entire comment, actually.

[plaidpineapple.livejournal.com]

I'd use Addie as a nn for Adrienne, which is my favorite name on your list. Adrienne Nicole Mayer sounds the best. :)

[bohemianvegan.livejournal.com]

Sydney is a city in Australia. Leave it as that.
I like Adrienne. Addison is OK, it's a corruption of Madison.
Addie reminds me of the American Girl series.

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

ahhh i had the Samantha Doll from AG! hehe

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Addison is terrible. Its popularity is due to a TV show, it's a surname, the name of a disease, and is pretty much the trendiest thing you could name your kid, plus it just sounds awful. Addie is a nickname. It doesn't work as a full name.

Adrienne is nice. Dominique and Sydney are okay. But please, for the love of God, don't saddle your child with a name like Addison or Addie. Addie is fine as a nickname.

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

i'm gathering that addison is trendy.. i guess i'm out of that trend loop!

what tv show?? i'm curious now! :)

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I think it's Grey's Anatomy, but I'm not entirely sure. And I'm sorry if I overreacted at the Addison thing, I just cringe every time I hear it! Honestly, I think it's partly because that's how my little sister used to say my name when she was too young to pronounce it properly, so it always reminds me of a little kid mispronouncing 'Alison'.

I know people who have a daughter named Adelaide, and they call her 'Addie' for short, just to throw a suggestion out there. I don't know if you like Adelaide at all, but hey. :P

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

ahh, we don't watch it... but know i've researched it and it's definately off our list! :)


Adelaide is actually the hubby's grandmother's name and our first choice.. however, his mother HATES her mother-in-law, (and me actually)
and we discussed it w/ my father-in-law and we all decided that it would not be the best idea to use it because none of us want to fear the wrath of my MIL! :)

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I totally just noticed your icon, I love it! It's totally true. I can remember the exact day I got cleavage when pregnant, haha. I looked down while driving and nearly ran off the road, I was so enamored, haha.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_toasterhead/]

i like Addison Nicole. :)

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

Sydney Ray is my favorite! I love it!
Adrienne Ray is my second favorite!
Addison is also a really nice name, but I don't think the middle name should be Nicole because it starts with the same letter Addison ends with, so it'll end up sounding like Addisonicole.
I greatly prefer Addison over Addie as a full first name.
I dislike Dominique.

[feelslike-2day.livejournal.com]

I love the name Dominique, Dominique Nicole has a nice ring to it. :)

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

I love Dominique and Adrienne. Don't like any of the others. Don't like the middle name Sage. If you're going to use Addie, why not use a full name, like Ada/Adah or Adrienne or Adair? Addison is PLAYED OUT.

I like Ray spelled Rae, unless its a family name.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I love the name Adair! I never thought about Addie as a nickname for it, but I like it!

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

oo i don't think i've seen/read Adair lately, i like it!
i'll have to see if the hubby likes it

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

LOVE Adrienne.

[so-there.livejournal.com]

Adrienne is my name, so of course everyone should use it :)

though really, I don't like any of the other first name options you have there, so....

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

:)

can i ask what your middle name is? if you don't wanna share, it's perfectly ok

[dearxannbellina.livejournal.com]

I agree with most everyone that Addie is a nickname. And while it's cute, I can only imagine it on toddlers, and grandmothers ("Let's go visit Grandma Addie!"). I just can't imagine calling a 40 year old Addie.

I can't get over Addison as a girls name. It's my fiance's middle name, and it's becoming popular because of Grey's Anatomy.

I actually think I like Adrienne Nicole Mayer best, and you could call her Addie.

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

What about Adelaide? Charming, sophisticated, regal...



And the informal Addie as a nickname? Don't make Addie her full first name.

Addison is a boy name. -son. Son. SON =/= girl.
Sydney is a city and also a boy name, at best.

Adelaide Dominique?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Well, my name ends with son, and it's definitely a girl's name... but I agree with you about Addison. It's not even a boy's name, it's a surname.

[idrinkacidrain.livejournal.com]

Is it Allison/Alison? That's a diminuitive of Alice, no?

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

Adelaide is actually the hubby's grandmother's name and our first choice.. however, his mother HATES her mother-in-law, (and me actually)
and we discussed it w/ my father-in-law and we all decided that it would not be the best idea to use it because none of us want to fear the wrath of my MIL! :)

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Wow. I don't have a bad word to say about any of your names. Love Sullivan. May I add it to my list :)?

[emjay417.livejournal.com]

thanks! and of course, i certainly don't own it! :)
