honestly, i like 80% of your names. why three names a piece? and i dont know if i would have done madelyn AND mandy for same kid. but whatever, ive heard worse;)

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

My brother started it actually, he has 6 kids they all have 3 names. No real reason for it at all.

Mandy is my sister's name, not Amanda so I had to work it in there somehow, I promised *grin*

Lucas Alexander James - like Lucas and Alexander, don't care for James.
Leah-Marie Elizabeth - Only like Leah.
Mark David Elijah - Only like Elijah.
Madelyn Mandy Anne - Not a fan of any of them

[dionysia.livejournal.com]

My only nitpick is your spelling of Madeleine. ;)

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

My mom had a hard time with it too and my dad always spells it Madeline.

[dolcedaze.livejournal.com]

Ditto, but Madeline would be fine.

[krazyhippie.livejournal.com]

I LOVE the name James. Underused, IMO. :)

And I love the spelling Madelyn so people won't pronounce it Mada-LINE.

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

See, you understand me! That is exactly why it's spelled that way!

James is my mom's maiden name, I love it.

[amandavanessa.livejournal.com]

I like their names, and I like Madelyn spelled that way better. I have three names (Amanda Vanessa Victoria) and I find it irritating, though. I don't use Victoria at all anymore.

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

Wow, two V names, that is unusual.

I wonder sometimes if they will hate me for giving them three names. Technically Leah only has two because Leah-Marie is her first name.

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

OMG I HATE THEM. YOUR KIDS ARE GOING TO HAVE A COMPLEX BECAUSE THEIR NAMES ARE NOT UNIQUE!!!1!

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

OMG SHOULD I LEAVE THEM OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW OVERNIGHT?!?!?!?

[angelwifey.livejournal.com]

ps. love elijah. my favourite nephew is named eli and he has the cutest little fro!

Lucas Alexander James - Personally I'm not a fan of Lucas, but this is still a good name on the whole, plus I love Alexander James

Leah-Marie Elizabeth - I really love this combination.

Mark David Elijah - Not my style

Madelyn Mandy Anne - Bit repetitive but not horrible

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

I named him Lucas long before it became as popular as it is now and it totally suits him.

Most don't like Mark's name at all. "too plain" I hear a lot. Heheh :)

[morphinae.livejournal.com]

Don't get the 3 name thing, I always thought that was a bit much, other then the really long combinations, they are ok I guess.

[candicejade.livejournal.com]

I love the name Madelyn :) And although I'm not a huge fan of the three names, I did it with my son. Josiah William Anthony. Wiliam for my stepdad and Anthony for my bio dad. I probably won't do it again! makes it so long when he's in trouble!

[rockstargrrrlie.livejournal.com]

I like how there's two L's and two M's and it's alphabetical since the oldest pair are L's and the youngest pair are M's. Was that intentional? Not sure- but even if it's not, it's very cute!

Lucas Alexander James- I like this a lot. I much prefer Lucas to Luke, and his three names just flow well together.

Leah-Marie Elizabeth- Elizabeth is such a pretty name, but such a default middle name so I'm not sure how I feel about that. Leah-Marie is very pretty though. Do you always call her that or does she go by Leah?

Mark David Elijah- Mark is a name I've never really liked. It goes up there with Cliff and Lance in one syllable names I just don't get. I like Elijah though.

Madelyn Mandy Anne- I've always wondered why you chose Mandy Anne as her middle name since it seems so... country, I guess? compared to Madelyn. Now that I've read the other comments, I know why. Heh. I did have a problem with the spelling of Madelyn, but since I see you did it for pronounciation issues, it is a very pretty name.

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

The two L's and M's weren't exactly intentional at all. I didn't even know what I was going to name Leah until she was about 2 days old. She just looked like a Leah-Marie :)

I really wanted M names for the twins because my name is Melody. So I guess the LM thing sort of just happened.

I try to call my daughter Leah-Marie but she prefers just Leah. I came thisclose to naming him Elijah but he just doesn't look like an Elijah, he totally looks like a Mark. My brother calls him skidmark, nice eh?

I never really noticed the country sound of Mandy Anne, haha, my middle name is Anne, so I really wanted to use it with one of my kids :)

[composure.livejournal.com]

Do you call her Maddy for short? Because I think that's really cute.

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

I don't actually, I was going to call her that but it really does not suit her at all.

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

Mandy is a name, it's my sisters name.

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

I love your kids names :)

[solyma.livejournal.com]

i'm not a huge fan of leah-marie (my name is leah, actually), but otherwise i really like them! i especially love the names madelyn and elijah... and btw, your comments with muliebrity sure cracked me up. ;)

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

LAJ - I love all the names. Alexander is one of my top boy names, and James is up there too (I pretty much have to use James on one of my children; my dad's name is James, his dad's name was James, his stepdad's name is James, and his half-brother's name is Adam James).

L-ME - I usually hate hyphenated names, but Leah-Marie is just too pretty. I think this is probably my favorite of them all, and I usually dislike girls names.

MDE - I like the name Mark, but flow is kind of off. One-one-three. But trying to say it with a last names of different lengths, and it sounds okay.

MMA - A little too sing-songy for my tastes, but still nice.

It appears you lucked out!

[simplymelodious.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thank goodness, can you imagine how much it would cost to get all their names changed, then convincing them what their new names are! hehe

[anapology.livejournal.com]

.Lucas Alexander is probably my all time favourite boy combo. I am defiently considering it so yay for you on that one! I wouldnt pair it with James personally, but it flows really well & theres absolutely nothing bad to say about this name.

.I don't like hyphenated names generally as a rule. I really like Leah but Marie doesnt do anything for me. I would have used them as seperate first and middle names. Elizabeth is a pretty middle name, although a filler.

.Mark Davind Elijah flows realy well. It's a bit too biblical for my liking & i dont have much of an opinion on the first two names, but its okay.

.I just do not like Mandy Anne- I agree with anther post, too country, I really just hate the name Mandy to be honest, always have done. But since it's your sisters name, i think its nice to use. I do kind of have issues with the spelling of Madelyn. I do understand that you didnt want 'madeLINE' which is fair anough, but the spelling Madeleine just looks so lovely & sophisticated to me. I defiently would have used it.

So... no you havent screwed your kids names up, not too bad really! (i'm totally stealing Lucas Alexander off you!)

[iljjc.livejournal.com]

Lucas Alexander James - A good, solid name, IMO. And James is my favorite uncle's name. :)

Leah-Marie Elizabeth - I'm actually not a fan of Leah or Marie on their own, but together they sound very pretty. Elizabeth(my middle name!) is also very pretty, and a classic.

Mark David Elijah - Mark is a very nice name, though not my style. David Elijah I LOVE.

Madelyn Mandy Anne - I like the spelling of Madelyn. I don't see why some people have a problem with different spellings, it's not like you named her Maddilynn or something(and besides, Madeleine makes me want to pronounce it Mad-a-lane). Honestly, Mandy makes me think of cheerleaders chewing bubblegum, but Anne, while not a name I would use myself, is classy and sophisticated, and goes very nicely with Madelyn.
