Having trouble with girl names...

[missmaxattax.livejournal.com]

Some of my favorite names:        (that I can and would use)
Gianna, Aubrey, Audrey, Grace/Gracie, Olivia, Leigh(or Lia), Natalie, Madelyn, Paige, Lynn, Madison, Ryan, Renee, Laina/Laine, Illeana, Elaina/Elaine, Charlotte, Emma.

underlined names = strictly middle name only.
Also - Lynn is my middle name.

Combinations I know I already love:
Gianna Leigh
Audrey Grace
Aubrey Grace
Audrey Olivia

I really would love to respect my grandmother with having her involved with the name a little. The only options I have for doing this right now are:
O'Neal
Sheree (I like Cherie or Sherie better- I just don't know how she feels about that. any other options or similar names?)
Kendra
Kendall

Here's the thing:
The combinations I love don't include anything that would make my grandmother happy. This is very important to me.. but I can't think of a way to include any of those names with any of the ones I like and make it to where I love it. The only exception to this has been Gianna Sheree. I've already told everyone that's the name I'm sure I'll use if I have a girl. However, I'm having second thoughts. I love the name and I'm even starting to like Sheree with it. I still feel like it's not "perfect" though. So, I would like suggestions with some of the I like with a name that would really make my grandmother happy. I'm open to two middle names if I see a combination I love. I'm also open to other suggestions with names not listed. And if it's any help.. I've tried to put the names I like in order of how much I like them. I know most are very popular and maybe even trendy.. but oh well.
Thanks in advance! =)

Madelyn looks terribly :-(

First of all, I remember you from the last time you posted here! =) Yeah, that was a random shoutout ;)
I know it's important to you what your grandmother thinks, but I don't think she can have anything against Cherie/Sherie; it's practically pronounced the same, right? I like Gianna Cherie, actually. A lot.

Also, have you thought about making an anagram out of the letters of her name? I don't know about her last name, but maybe you can create a new name you like out of the letters of her full name...unless she doesn't want that either, of course. (If her last name is O'Neal, by any chance, those are a couple of names that could be made out of -parts of- her name:
Sheena
, Renee!, 
Rose, 
Noel
, Lena, 
Rhona, 
Leona, Lorene, Lane!...and probably more)

Other suggestions:
Aubrey Kendra Grace
Audrey Kendra Laine
Olivia Kendall Leigh/Olivia Kendall Sheree

I must say I really like Audrey Olivia as well =)

I was just going to suggest using two middle names, because then you can call her what you want, and still make your grandmother happy. I understand wanting to do that, I do, but just remember that it's your child, and in the end, you have to live with what you name him/her for the rest of your life; it's not your grandmother's responsibility to name him/her, so if she doesn't like the name, she can just shrug her shoulders and say, "Grandkids. God." and leave it at that. I would want to take my grandmother's wishes into consideration, too, because I'm really close with her, but just don't let it completely take over your name. You just have to know when to say, "Okay, she's having too much control over this. It's my choice, ultimately, and she has to deal with that."

In addition, I say go for the spelling of the name that YOU prefer. If you're using Sheree/Cherie/Sherie on her wishes, you should at least use the spelling that you like. I really do think that is a more than reasonable compromise. Besides, I keep wanting to say Sheree like "Sher-ee" instead of "Sheer-ee"

What about:
Audrey Grace Sherie
Audrey Kendra Grace
Gianna Kendra Leigh
Gianna Sherie Lia
Charlotte Lia Sherie
Charlotte Grace Kendra
Natalie Kendra Grace
Elena Grace Sherie
Elena Sherie Leigh
Madeleine/Madelyn Grace Sherie
Madeleine/Madelyn Sherie Leigh

I love Kendra, and Sherie is okay, but I dislike Kendall and O'Neal even as middle names. For the firsts, I LOVE Audrey, Charlotte, Elena (like Elaina, only spelled correctly), Grace, Natalie, Madeleine (instead of Madelyn; it's pronounced like Mad-uh-lehn instead of -lyn). I don't like (but think they're okay names) Gianna, Elaine, Laine (I'd spell it Lane, though), Emma, Renee, Paige, Aubrey, and Olivia. I don't like Ryan, Madison or Illeana.

I really, really like Gianna Sheree/Cherie/Sherie. Cherie's my favorite spelling.

[plaidpineapple.livejournal.com]

I vote Gianna Cherie. Cherie is a much prettier spelling, but has the same sound.

Audrey is nice, but IMO, it's kind of boring and generic paired with Olivia or Grace. Gianna Cherie is a lot more unique without being "uneek".

I agree
