I told my cousin of your reactions to the name Shoshana Carleigh, and she now sees that Carleigh is a bit much with that spelling (That was the part of the name I disliked, not the Shoshana).
So we were thinking of Leigh names, and we came up with-

Cayleigh/Kayleigh/Caleigh/Kaleigh
Ainsleigh
Ashleigh
Kyleigh/Kileigh
Ryleigh/Rileigh



Some of these, I agree with what most of you are likely to say: The spelling looks terrible!

Opinions?

I thought she was spelling it that way to honor her mother or something? It's not like she made it up off the top of her head or something, it's not that terrible. Honestly I don't see why you're giving her such a hard time, it's her baby, and the name isn't terrible. The child won't be scarred for life. It's unlikely you'll sway her if she's made a decision anyway, she'll probably just start resenting the 'input' after a while. I definitely would, if my teenage (i'm guessing here) cousin kept trying to talk me out of what *I* wanted to name my own baby, I'd get pretty damn pissed. Besides, there's little difference between adding a Car- to leigh then adding an Ain-, Carly spelled anyway is a cute name.

Just let it go?

Yeah, enough already. First name's awesome, middle name's fine and JUST A MIDDLE NAME. And besides, it's her child and if I were your cousin, I'd find this annoying and intrusive as hell.

Not crazy about it spelled like Karli...
