My hubby I and have been talking lots about babies lately... and of course what we'd name one.

So, here is our list! You can also leave any comments here if you'd like. We had a hard time with some middle names. John is a family name, so we tried to go with that for the boys a lot. Let me know if you have any suggestions other than what we put there. Thanks!!

Yeah... John isn't my fav either, but it's really important to the hubby. *sigh*

We don't like Ireland, but we do like Irelynn... or our spelling.

Thanks!!

I love Caroline, but Karoline looks really weird, especially when paired with Kennedy.

I love Andrew John, Ethan James, and Fletcher John; Ainsley Grace, Claire Elisabeth, and Caroline Grace (but definitely not Karoline).

I really like Analise Rose but I would def spell it Anneliese.

With the spelling Analise...I can't help but notice the Anal part of it.

even Annalise would be better...or Annaliese

I tend to think that people always say Caro LYNN when it's spelled Caroline.

Also, both of us have K names and I'm cheesy and think it's kind of cute to be matchy. Haha.

I'm so glad you like Fletcher! Everyone makes fun of us, but we love it!

Thanks for that, I didn't even pay attention to that to be honest!!

I've heard people mispronounce it before, but Carolyn is generally Caro-lynn and Caroline is Caro-line and people will learn after you correct them; it's usually just a reading mistake when people say it the wrong way. Karoline looks really...I don't know. Trashy, I guess. I don't mean that as in, "You're trashy," but that people might assume that because of the misspelling of the name. I'm not really a fan of names that have K's instead of C's when they *should* be C's - Kaleb/Caleb, Kristopher/Christopher, etc.

Plus, matching names might be cute the first time you hear them, but especially when the last name is the same letter as the first name, it'll get kind of ridiculous. Especially if you have more kids and end up with Karoline, Kristopher, Kaleb, and Kasey Kennedy. It sounds like a tongue twister.

Fletcher is adorable:) I love names like that: Foster, Fletcher, Thatcher, etc.

PS - If you really want to go with a K name to be matchy, I'd suggest staying away from misspellings of names and going with one that's SUPPOSED to be a K name - Kyle or Kevin for a boy; Katherine or Karen for a girl - because when they're changed like that to match, it makes it look more corny than cute.
