I think we're pretty much set on Kennedy for a girl. I really love it and so does my fiance/friends/family.
I've only gotten two negatives and one was my one friend saying it sounds like a bitchy highschool girl. Then I figured most high school girls are bitches so who cares haha. And a guy I work with saying it's a guys name (I think it's both)
I don't care if it's gotten more popular recently, I live in a town of 30,000, surrounded with farming communities.
It's not popular here.
But we want a quick one syllable middle name, any suggestions?
We thought Sky.
Kennedy Sky?
As for boys. I'm not crazy about any of these name, I can't find one that I'm just in love with so be honest with me!
-Luke (My fiance likes Star Wars and wanted to do Luke Skyler but I said no.)
-Alistair (Alec for short?)
-Connor
-Liam
-Keegan
-Roscoe (Reminds me of Bosco, this creepy 40 year old punk rocker in my town that's totally off his rocker , but my fiance liked it)
-Parker
-Sebastian (too little mermaid..?)
-Oliver
Any other ideas?

Luke -- I like this name.
Alistair (Alec) -- my uncle's name is Alistair and he's a really nice guy so you can't go wrong with this name in my opinion. I wouldn't use Alec as a nn for Alistair but I really like the name Alec alot and I'm going to add it to the list this instant.
Connor -- okay name
Liam -- nice
Keegan -- very nice name!
Roscoe -- if you ever decide to get a dog, go with this name!
Parker -- YES!!
Sebastian -- SUPER!!
Oliver -- BRILLIANT!!

And no, Luke isn't a full name you're right, I'd go with Lucas, Luke for short.
And I disagree with Kennedy being tacky.

Date: 2008-09-15 05:31 pm (UTC)- Alistair: Love!! I also like Alec, but I like Alistair more.
-Connor: Like!
-Liam: Really like!
-Keegan: No. I can't stand this name. For some reason it reminds me of toddlers playing peek-a-boo. 'Keegan' just sounds like something a baby would say.
-Roscoe: Not a fan
-Parker: Ok!
-Sebastian: Ok too, not too little mermaid ;)
-Oliver: Like!
Alistair is my favorite.
Some other suggestions: Leo, Roman, Silas, Nolan, Vaughn, Reid, Morgan, Trevor, Finley, Camden...
I'm not too fond of Kennedy, actually...but that's just personal taste. I do like Sky! Some other one syllable middle name suggestions (which I think sound good, because Kennedy has three syllables):
Faye
Maeve
June
Neve
Paige
Quinn
Sage
Jade
Claire
Brooke
Faith
Belle
Eve

Roscoe is a little out there and Parker, Keegan, and Connor are super trendy.
Alistair is nice, and I like Alec, but it might be a bit of a stretch, and I think Alistair could go either way: it could be a really cool name, or it could be really dorky.

Date: 2008-09-15 09:33 pm (UTC)if you must stick with one syllable, i would say:
kennedy bliss
kennedy june
kennedy jane
kennedy kate
kennedy tess
kennedy faith
kennedy mae
kennedy clair
kennedy scout
kennedy nell
personally, i would pair it with something traditional, and i LOVE kennedy elisabeth.
for the boys, i love:
luke/lucas/luca
oliver
liam (short for william)
alistair
i also love alec, as i have a very dear friend by that name, but i dont see it as a nickname for alistair. not even close.
(this coming from the girl who posted recently about levi possibly being a nickname for oliver)

I like Luke, Connor, Liam, Sebastian, and Oliver out of your boys' names. I suggest Nymbler.com to find names based off of these.

Date: 2008-09-16 12:11 am (UTC)I suggest Kennedy Claire or Kennedy Dawn.
Luke - Not fond of one syllable names for first names, and I equate Luke with puke.
Alistair (Alec for short?) I like it, fn/nn!
Connor - used to like Connor, now it just makes me think "con man"
Liam - I like it.
Keegan - It's ok, but too trendy for my tastes.
Roscoe - Reminds me of Rosco P. whatever of Dukes of Hazards
Parker - It's alright, but I don't like it for a first name.
Sebastian - It's alright, I just prefer long names to have a shorter nickname and I can't think of any good ones for Sebastien. Bastien is too close to bastard. =/
Oliver - I wouldn't use it but I like it and think Ollie is a cute nickname.

Date: 2008-09-18 01:04 am (UTC)Luke is awesome, Luke Skyler would be fantastic. Lol.
Parker is a favorite.
Sebastian is cute, it reminds me of the inlet by my hometown, not the crab.
Oliver is on my top 5. LOVE this name.
