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?

Connor -- okay name

Keegan -- very nice name!
Roscoe -- if you ever decide to get a dog, go with this name!

Kennedy Sky just really is not my style, it sound really...young. And tacky. Sky is really bad, I think. Maybe something like Kennedy Lane, or Jude. Grey. Brynn. Reese.

Luke doesn't seem quite like a full name to me, and I usually like shorter names. I just think that Luka or Lucas sounds better. I don't really get Alec from Alistair, at all. I really like Liam and Sebastian.

-Luke: Like! I think it could work as a full name, but if you like it better as a nickname, I'd say go with Lucas.
- 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

I like:
Luke
Liam
Sebastian
Oliver

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.

I absolutely love the name Alistair. I actually like all of the names on your list. I don't list Oliver, but that's just a personal thing.

Kennedy is very trendy... but at least you're spelling it right? Kennedy Sky sounds kind of tacky, to be honest. If you have to use Kennedy, for the middle name I'd go with something one syllable but more classic, like Rose, Anne, May, Jane, etc.

For the boys' names, I like Luke, Alistair, and Oliver.

i love kennedy. but i am a massachusetts-ite, so its a guilty pleasure. i dont like kennedy sky, and i wouldnt use kennedy rose either, unless you are related to rose kennedy.

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 don't mind it, but it's a decent name. If you don't mind the trendiness factor of Kennedy* and the Sky names (Skye, Skylar, etc.)**, then go for it. The name has a nice rhythym to it.

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

I agree with the others who suggested pairing Kennedy with a more traditional and classic middle name. I still think Kennedy Sky is fine; it is definitely not as bad as some other combos I've seen, but the name is a little too trendy.

Whoever suggested Kennedy Jane, I'm seconding her. :)

Sorry, just trying to help.

True, but unlike Kennedy, Sebastian is more classical and doesn't carry the same trendy weight. IMO, it will be Sebastian that becomes a new classic, not Kennedy.

With Kennedy, I would go with a middle name that starts with C or D just because if she ever wanted to go by a nn of her first and middle name it could be K.C (like Casey) or K.D (like Cady).

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.

I really like Kennedy.
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.
