A high school friend of mine just had a baby girl:

Erika Skye

Totally not my taste at all. IMO, adding an "e" at the end of the word sky does not make it a name. Also, spelling Erika with a "k"... doesn't do anything for me. WDYT?

She could have done worse, I suppose!

ETA: Okay, so maybe Skye is indeed a "real" name, but I am still not a fan of it. Just not my style!

Malin

My husband and I watched 27 Dresses last night and as the credits rolled I noticed the name

Malin

I assumed it was pronounced Mah-lin but looking on babynamesworld.com I see its actually Mah-leen.

WDYT?

Also, do you think Lily is on the rise to the top ten? I love the name but we are trying to stay away from anything too popular.

My husband just cannot get off the name Phoebe. Its the only name he has any interest in using. Everything else I suggest, his response is always "______ is okay, but I still like Phoebe better." I'm not against the name. I'm pretty neutral toward it actually. Its an alright name in my book, but I'm not crazy about it.

So, a couple of questions to help me decide whether or not to veto Phoebe once and for all;

What names do you think go well with Phoebe? Suggest one boy and one girl name if possible.
What kind of not-so-good nicknames could kids tease a Phoebe with?

Thanks!
