My cousin Talitha is having a daughter who she plans to name Shoshana Carleigh.

I dont like it. At all. I told her that the name doesnt appeal to me at all, but she wouldnt stand for it. Maybe it will grow on me, but I'm not sure.

As for names I suggested-
Kirie: Ky-ree. I am a mommy's helper for three little girls, one of which's name is Kirie Nicole. I dont exactly like Nicole, but I adore Kirie.

Adéla: Another one of the girls I am a mommy's helper for is named Macie Adéla. I LOVE it, especially Adéla.

Tallie said she'd consider them at least a tiny bit, but she doesn't seem to like them.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to names like Shoshana or Carleigh that she might like?

When I saw your cousin's name I had the same reaction as you, I don't like it at all. I don't know if I would have told her, but I certainly don't blame you for doing so. Upon reading more I found out Shoshana is traditional, but never having heard it, it sounds kind of made up. I don't like it at all. I've never liked the name Carleigh (you know how sometimes all the people you meet with a certain name are awful? Kim and Kellie have been that way for me as well) anyhow, I dislike it ever more spelled that way, although I like the meaning behind it. I like the suggestion of Leigha. As for Shoshana, I can't think of any replacements, I really like Adéla.
