I need some ideas...

[poohbaby.livejournal.com]

We're having baby #4 and we need name suggestions. Siblings are:

Tristan Alexander
Skylar Nichole
Haley Meredith

If it's a boy, the name will Cohen Foster (Cohen is a family name, Foster is hubby's middle name)

But if it's a girl...the hubby and I will continue to fight.  We had chosen Kaida Juliet. Kaida is a Japanese name meaning "Little Dragon" and japan and dragons are both special to us. Juliet is a name I've alwas loved and I think it flows well together. I'm still pushing for this name, however, the hubby doesn't like the "Juliet" references and imagines her being picked on in her dating years (for example, have you found your romeo yet?!)  The husband does like Julia (and I could live with that too) but we can't agree on a middle name for Julia.

So...what are you r suggestions for a middle name. Or heck, even a different name for a girl?!

Thanks in advance!

I like the meaning of Kaida, but the pronunciation reminds me of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda.

This. Especially in the US in this day and age, IMO it is a really really really REALLY bad idea to name your kid something that sounds remotely like one of the most hot-button issues in the past 7 years. When I first read this I thought it was pronounced "KAY-da," which wasn't my style but was fine, but now that I've read others' comments, yeah... If you live in the US, please don't do this. =(

I also agree that neither name fits at all with the rest of your children. Julia fits slightly better though. (And Kaida and Juliet don't fit together, either, for the record.) I love Juliet and it's one of my top choices for girls, so I say screw sibsets if you really love this name, but Kaida is not a good move in this day and age, sorry.
