Alexa has been on my mind lately...but i have one problem with it.


I have 2 friends named Alexis

One has been a friend since we were little. I don't talk to her often but we try to get together on occasion. I'm sure we will stay in touch for our whole lives....so she def will know my kids. She usually goes by Lexi. I  like Alexa, and like the added bonus of the connection with this friend. She's just a really great person so it would be kind of nice to acknowledge that in a somewhat indirect way

the other friend named Alexis that I have has been my friend since high school (im 22 now btw) We are pretty close. Have the same group of friends from high school and we all still hang out often. great girl. always goes bt Alexis ....no nickname.


So basically...does having a friend of two names Alexis ( and Lexi) eliminate
  Alexa from the list?

And wdyt of Alexa?

_________ Daniel Proudlock.

My son is called Kade, so it'd be something modern, but not too wacky.

Ideas?

"Kade would like to announce the arrival of his beautiful baby brother, _______ Daniel". For the life of me i couldn't think.

I love the nickname Lane/Laine for a boy or a girl. Alas, we have plenty of boy names picked out already, so I'd love to hear what names for a girl you could take Lane/Laine from as a nickname (besides Elaine and its variants).

Also, just out of curiosity, which spelling do you prefer for a girl?

Thanks!

Redone name list, what do you think?
