HELP NAME A BABY!

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

One of my co-workers is pregnant. If its a girl she gets to name it and if its a boy her husband gets to pick the name. She's stuck trying to find a girl's name and is hoping its a boy:)

So to help I thought I cast the net in this community. Mom and dad are late 20s-early 30s. Mom is a probation officer, dad is in loans/real estate. They are African American but she wants a normal name (no Schnikwa or Princess). Mom is Taye, Dad is Larry (don't know if its short for anything). Last name is Spikes.

These are the names she is considering:

Kylie
Addison
Ellie Nicole

Of the three, I like Addison best, but one of our coworkers just named her daughter Addison Lauren.

So, bring your best!

PS...Mom is real big on the resume/business card test...and she has already refused the name Sharpe.

I love Ellie, but she sounds like she wants something professional... so I agree with the person who suggested Ella! (I could be biased, as my significant other is called Elena, and those are two of my nicknames for her.)

Actually... going along that theme, Elle and Lena work, too. Both could be either professional or playful. When I think "Elle" I think of a fashion designer and a girl at a party, and when I think "Lena" I think of an all-business Russian woman and a spunky chick in camo pants.
