Alright, so I've been here before, but it's coming down to the wire now and I need help.
On November 11th (give or take a few days) we'll either be welcoming a little Liliana or a little Jonah into the world. Of that, I'm sure. : ) The middle names, however, continue to elude me.

My only guidelines are that I don't want the name to be one syllable, since our last name is one syllable (Brown), and that for Liliana's middle name, I'd like the emphasis to be on the first syllable (i.e. Avery, Morgan, Peyton). Also I'm staying away from nouns as a middle name for Liliana because it sounds too much like "Lily on a _________". And that's just dumb awkward. : )

Middle names I've considered for Jonah include Elias (Ee-ly-us) and Landon. Please throw more suggestions my way.



Also a question: Do you think first and middle names with the same first letter are too much?

I'm writing a story and I think I have the mother's name set as Alison and her two daughters are Natalie and Tessa. I need the oldest chid's, a boy, name and the father. I think the last name is going to be either Welling or Cambridge. Which last name do you prefer and what are some name suggestions for the brother and father?
