I like Melinda; that one doesn't seem at all weird to me, haha.

Tyler, Riley, and Kyle are way too late 80s/early 90s for me. Ugh.

The last four are nice, though. Nice, classic, traditional. James and Michael are two of my favorites, and while I'm not a huge fan of Robert or Joseph, they fit in well and they're good, solid names (unless you're going to pull one of those BUT THEY'RE GIRLS! DUHN DUHN DUHN things on me).

haha no not girls! i thought it was a nice sib-set, too. traditional, no whacky spellings. nice, solid names for boys.

That's a different spelling for Haylei...I'm not sure if I entirely like it or not.

I like Melinda. The rest...not so much.

Haha, on that second sib set...my cousin's new baby's name is James Robert.

i don't like it, because i want to say Hay-lay, because that is how i pronounce the "lei"-- like in Leila, Lay-luh.

i actually know a girl named Melinda, so it's not weird or anything, & i do kind of like it. her nn is Minnie, though, which i don't like so much lol

Ryon doesn't seem like it should be pronounced the same way as Ryan.

Amada sounds like the way a little kid would say Amanda.

I watched a movie yesterday and the girl in it was named Haylei. I thought it was kind of weird..but her mother was crazy so I sort of understood. =P

the Lifetime movie?? that is where i heard it!

[djador.livejournal.com]

Haha yes! I kind of though you might have gotten it from there. lol. Lies My Mother Told Me?

Valene might be vah-LAYN, as well. Not sure.

Haylei is the worst spelling I've seen for that name. It makes me want to say HAY-LAY instead of HAY-lee.

I agree, the first sibset's nicknames are cheesey. Why does Kyle even need a nickname? It's only one syllable to begin with. The full names are just fine, though.

i agree about Haylei. when i heard it, i assumed it was Hayley or Haylee or something. then when i read it, i was like WTF?

Melinda is a common name where I live.

I am hoping to name the boy Riley but not 100% sure yet.I also like Robert but i hate it when people shorten names.
