Halp..

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I'm almost 21w pregnant. And, ITS A GIRL.

So I've got a few names that I like, and I was wondering what you guys thought of them, or if you had any suggestions of your own that fit my name "style" if I have one. ;-)

My first choice: Miley Morgan Leilani Glover

Others:
Baily Jaimes Glover (My fathers name is James, and my cousin (f) is Lindsey Jaimes) - A big issue I have with this name is the initials BJ... Can you guys think of any way to spell James with a G that wouldn't be stupid? OR do you think that later in life it won't matter if her initials are BJ.. My father said that I can't do that to my daughter LOL
Anabelle Lee Glover
Aurora Skye Glover
Destiny Hope Glover

And some first names I like or could be middle names:
Danika
Harlow
Maddison
Hailey

WDYT? Any Suggestions or ideas? Do you LOVE or HATE any of these?
Can you think of any ways that kids will be extremely cruel because of these..?

Annabelle Lee is always nice because of the poem, only if you're doing that I'd spell it properly-Annabel. Aurora and Skye are good, but not together. I definitely wouldn't do initials of BJ, plus Baily sounds like a dog's name (sorry)
I hate Destiny and Hope, especially together.
Harlow is a good name too!

I'm generally not a fan. If you want to use James for your father, spell it that way. If you want to use Madison, spell it that way.

Miley Morgan is nice, and so is Miley Leilani (though not my style), but with the double middle, it's too much going on.

Anabelle James is probably the best combination you're going to get out of what you have there. Anabelle Hope is pretty also.

[orbg.livejournal.com]

I just have never heard of anyone naming their kid Annabel Lee unless they were a Poe fan, creepy meaning or not.

I don't really like Miley but I don't really like names that end in the "iley" sound in general. And I also don't like Miley Cyrus but that probably somewhat influences how much I like the name. However, I think that the middle names, Morgan and Leilani together are really lovely.

I also really like Anabelle Lee.

Don't really like Baily (I think of Bailey's Irish Cream). And I really dislike Destiny Hope together.

[krysteener.livejournal.com]

Not a big fan of Miley but Miley Morgan pretty good. I feel like Miley Morgan Leilani is too much.

I really like James as a middle for a girl but I don't like Bailey.
I like Anabelle a lot but Anabelle Lee kinda sounds weird.
Aurora Skye is really cute but it might be too cutesy.
I like Madison a lot (with one D)

[colliemommie.livejournal.com]

this.

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

I know, it does seem like too much, but my sister and I are both 2 middle namers..
Sydney Elizabeth Ann
Corrine Morgan Marie

I was thinking Anabelle Lee after the Edgar Allan Poe poem, but it doesn't ring unless it's got the rest of the words with it LOL

I hear what your sayin' about Aurora Skye, part of me thinks the exact same thing.

And maybe one D is better... I'll have to see how it looks with some other names.

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not a big Miley Cirus fan either, but for some reason, I adore the name Miley. I can't figure out why! lol

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

It is from the poem, the SP I changed on purpose tho. I don't know why. Something inside me made me do it LOL.

Do you like the original spelling better?

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

See, I was thinking Miley Morgan Leilani is a lot, but my sister and I are both two middle namers..
Sydney Elizabeth Ann
Corrine Morgan Marie

I was kind of trying to follow that pattern a bit.. Yeah, no?

[thejoysofjess.livejournal.com]

I can see where you would want to, and I understand, but if you do I'd pick different names. That combination just seems like a mouthful. Maybe one of those names should be only one syllable? I dunno. I'm not a huge fan of the double middle myself.

[sleepy-tears7.livejournal.com]

Destiny Hope is seriously her name?? I think its funny because I love the name Miley and my friend named her baby Destiny Hope.. I was kinda stealin' her idea. Wow. Now I have to ask her if thats where it came from.

Anyway, I love the suggestions you gave. My name is Sydney, and my neices name is Cassidy.
I really like Addison.

And I was going for the double middle-names because my sister and I are
Sydney Elizabeth Ann
Corrine Morgan Marie

I really like that website too! Thanks!

I personally like the name Harlow (as a middle) and kids can be cruel with any name.

"Charlotte the harlot"

[orbg.livejournal.com]

I do.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Miley I don't consider a real name. Maelle yes, but Miley no.
Morgan is beautiful. Leilani is okay.

Baily Jaimes I think is pretty awful. I am sorry.

Anabelle is nice but Anabelle Lee is too Poe for me and I love Poe as much as the next person but still.

Aurora I adore! Aurora Skye is a bit too much of an Aurora Borealis reference.

Destiny Hope...I guess you are a big Miley Cyrus fan...

Of your additional list I dislike all of them quite a lot.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I hate, hate, despise the name Aurora. Destiny is bad enough, on it's own, but together with Hope, it's so unbelievably cheesy. And Miley is just Miley Cyrus, so enough sad.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Baily/Bailey isn't a great name, it's very overused (consider it rhymes with 'Hailey', 'Kaylee', etc.) and it doesn't age well. The initials 'BJ' just aren't good. And whatever you do, don't use Destiny. It's one of the major trailer park names of this decade, like Crystal in the 80s. Anabelle and Aurora are nice, though Aurora paired with 'Skye' is kind of overkill. The middle names are all verrrry trendy, but they're middle names, so...

Suggestions:

Amabel
Aurelia
Adelaide
Natalie
Violet
Leah
Ruby
Cecilia
Celeste
Selina
Evangeline
Serafina
Rosalie
Maya
Holly
Gemma
Adeline

Oh, yeah, and Miley - step away! Far away! It came out of nowhere to become the fastest rising name of 2007, all because of Miley Cyrus. It wasn't even a real name before that. So technically, it is the trendiest name of the year, and its source is solely that girl who plays Hannah Montana... sorry, I just don't think it's a good choice for a daughter.

[perfectcherry.livejournal.com]

First of all, let me offer my congratulations! I'm due October sixth, myself, although we don't know if we're having a boy or a girl. Now...

Skye is horrible, horrible, horrible for a boy or a girl! Madison/Maddison is also horrible, both because it should be a boy's name (any name with the suffix "son" in it literally means "so of...") and because it's been stupidly popular amongst yuppy, soccer mom-type name for years; the same goes for Bailey. I think Harlow is just ugly and only appropriate as a middle name if it's a name that has been in the family for years or is the mother's middle name; are you a fan of the actress?

Destiny is also tacky; I've known plenty of ignorant, ill-mannered, white trash mothers and daughters with this name and I'm sure I'm not the only person with this association.

Now that I'm done bashing all the names I hate - sorry if I was too harsh - I do like Anabelle, Aurora, Danika, and Haley (although not the spelling Hailey). Hope is a nice enough middle name, although I certainly wouldn't pair it with another name representing an abstract concept, like Destiny. I also think Lee is a lovely name, but the feminine spelling of Lee is Leigh, which I think is prettier anyway. I think you have a good basis for a lovely name that will grow well with your child with any of those four names.

As for James: it is derived from the name Jacob, of which the feminine form is Jacqueline. There are many other variations of the names James, Jacob, and Jacqueline that venture beyond the boring, limited scope of "Jaimie," so you shouldn't have to resort to a ridiculous spelling that will be repeatedly mispronounced and misspelled throughout your daughter's life. Perhaps you should consider one of the many names related to Jacqueline as a first name?

Finally, I have to recommend that you buy or borrow my favorite baby name book: The Oxford English Dictionary of First Names. Unlike most baby name books, it goes in to authentic detail about the names' origins and meanings and also has several appendices of foreign names that are not commonly used amongst English speakers, which may give you some neat ideas, if nothing else.

Good luck with everything! I wish you all the best!

I actually know an adorable beagle named Baily, so I always think of it as either a dog's name or a ridiculous yuppy name.

[perfectcherry.livejournal.com]

I like Morgan Leilani, or even Morgan -another name here- Leilani, but not Miley Morgan Leilani. I agree that it needs a one syllable name in there somewhere, to break up some of the mushy-mouthed feeling; maybe a simple, strong name like Kay.

I do like Sydney Elizabeth Ann, but I always prefer an spelled with an e at the end.

[perfectcherry.livejournal.com]

There's also an awesome swing/jazz song called Fare Thee Well, Annabelle. The Pfister Sisters do an awesome version, so much so that it might help the name lose the creep-factor from the Poe poem. I would definitely not name my daughter Annabelle Lee, because they will study Poe in high school or college... she may be your beautiful, Annabelle Lee, but seriously.

[perfectcherry.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think Aurelia is a completely beautiful name! If I weren't close friends with a woman who has a daughter of that name, I would have it on my name list for my baby, who is due in October.

[snowowl.livejournal.com]

I think more than just a first and middle name is overkill.

My name is Hope, and I would really advise against naming your child after puritanical concepts like that (Destiny, Faith, Joy, etc.). The jokes never end. She'll always think someone is saying something to her when they aren't. And let's face it -- names like that just sound fluffy and ridiculous when you think about it.

I like Aurora, just not with Skye as a middle name (too close to the real thing).

James is a man's name. Period. Would you name your daughter Bob just because that happened to be your father's name?

I like Anabelle, Madison (one d), and Morgan a lot!

Other names you might like:

Maeve
Gwenyth or Gwendolyn (Gwen for short)
Eva
Phoebe
Meredith

Here's my bluntly honest opinions on the names.

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

I don't like Miley, and ever since Miley Cyrus exploded into the tween girl scene, it's suddenly becoming really popular even though it looks totally made-up to me. Morgan is nice, though, and Leilani is not my style but could be a good middle name.

I've never really cared for Baily. And I don't like James on a girl at all, and I don't like Jaimes with the I. And I don't think there's any way to spell James that won't look stupid, and I do think that the initials BJ will put her up to a lot of teasing.

Anabelle is nice, (but I prefer Annabelle,) but it's gotten super popular lately. And if you were going for the Annabelle Lee poem, it's spelled with two Ns.

Aurora is really nice, my favorite on your list. Skye is not my style, but again it's not bad for a middle name.

Destiny is such a stripper name lately, and Destiny Hope is Miley Cyrus' real name so it's probably going to get ten times more popular too.

Danika is okay but it brings to mind Danika Patrick, even though I hate NASCAR, so that's a negative association to me but not everyone would mind.

Harlow is okay too.

Maddison isn't bad, but it's soo popular lately.

Hailey is nice.
