My current name ideas

[madamesolitaire.livejournal.com]

My soon-to-be husband has kinda a gift with names...

His choice- Corbin Ford (I love it!)

Mine- Emmett Wade (Already the "2nd" choice)

Questions...

1.) Does Corbin Ford sound akward with the last name Cole?  ( I realize during school, etc. it will just be Corbin Cole, which I find has a nice ring. Also, it was funny sounding to me but the more I said it the more I got used to it.)
2.) I don't keep up with popularity, so is Corbin a very popular name? I don't want him to be the 10th in the area or something.

But my girl choices are a little less clear..

My choice- Lydia Kresley Brenea (Pronounced Renee with a B)

My husband, however, hates it so it's out. He prefers just Kresley Brenea (our female twist on his name, Wesley)

Questions...

1.) Thoughts on such a long name?
2.) Once again, how many Lydias do you know? Is it very popular?

Last but not least..

3.) I am currently loving the name Lacy/Lacee, but the ever elusive question is Lydia, Lacee, or Lydia Lacee?
4.) Ryan as a girl middle name?

Comments/thoughts? Thanks!

I love Corbin Ford! Corbin Ford Cole sounds fine to me, but Corbin Cole does sound a little sing-song. As far as I know, Corbin isn't incredibly popular, though not entirely unheard of.

I don't see any problem with the length. I don't personally know any Lydias. It was in the top 200, but not in the top 100 in 2007. So I think it's getting fairly steady use, but it isn't being run into the ground.

I'm not a big fan of alliteration, so I think they sound better as two separate names, both of which I love (although my preference is definitely for Lacy, rather than Lacee). And although I don't especially like Ryan on a boy, but I find Ryan on a girl very cute.
