What do you think of...

[meeksnmeebs.livejournal.com]

Found out I'm due in January, so I have plenty of time to mull it over, think on them and completely change my mind but...
Girl:
Emmaline Grace (possibly Emmeline or a slight variation, not positive on that)

Boy:
Logan Zachary (again, not sure how I want to spell Zachary)

I like names that are more... different, but not crazy way out there wtf type names. Also has to work with our less than normal last name: Juskevice

Also, I really really really like the name Alexander or any Alex name, but I'm not sure how my husband would feel about naming our baby that as it's also the name of the guy I dated before deciding to marry my husband, AND my roommate from last year just named her son Jonathan Alexander (Dell'Aquila, I know the poor child).

Suggestions, thoughts, comments? All welcome :)

Emmaline/Emmeline is a great name... I'm not such a fan of Logan, though.

Your icon makes me want to watch that movie now...

I'm not totally thrilled with the boy name yet. I'm just not sure what to do with it.

Congratulations! I LOVE Emmeline, and Emmaline or Emeline are fine by me too. Are you pronouncing the end with a long i or a long e sound? I like it either way. Grace is such a sweet name, but I think it is overdone in the middle name slot these days. The boy's name is fine enough, but I don't like either name, sorry.

Emmeline with a long 'i' sound. I really like Grace, but my husband refuses it as a first name and will let me slide with it as a middle name.

I'm having the hardest time coming up with something for a boy that we both agree on. I'll admit probably the biggest reason I like Logan is from watching Dark Angel a few years back.

I have a girlfriend named Alessandra who goes by Alex ... might be a less offensive option for an Alex-type name if you have a girl.

[meeksnmeebs.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely have to put some thought into that.

One of my friends just pointed out how long of a name my child is going to have. I said tough cookies, I did as a child too!

Definitely helps TY! :)

Emeline (spelled this way) is one of my favorite names. I don't care for alternate spellings, but of the ones you have I'd personally go with Emmeline. Emmaline looks made-up to me. I also like Ameline, which is the original spelling.

Grace, Alexander, and Logan Zachary (spelled this way!) are ho-hum, quite boring. Nice, but boring.

I always liked the names Alexi or Alexis for a boy. (9.9)


I like Logan, and Emmaline, not crazy about Zachary, I don't care for the letter y for some reason.

[cybeleadam.livejournal.com]

I like Alexi(s) for a boy too, but that's because it's not a girl name in French. Otherwise I would probably think it's weird (I do think it's rather weird for a girl, although I don't dislike it).

logan is really really NOT different. there are little logans EVERYWHERE.

i am personally not a fan of logan or zachary, but i like emmeline grace a lot.

[meeksnmeebs.livejournal.com]

It's hard to find something that works with our last name and that my husband will agree to.
I know Logan isn't really different, but for whatever reason, I've been obsessed with the name since I watched Dark Angel lol.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

im sorry if i sounded snarky, i didnt mean to. i was just responding to what you had said.

i think its a fine name, just not my style. but emmeline grace is beeeeyoooteeefulllll! heehee :)

[meeksnmeebs.livejournal.com]

I know I looooooooooove my girls name.
I just don't love the boys name as much... it feels off.

I appreciate the honesty :D I try not to take anything on teh internets too literally either.

[ribcage-diagram.livejournal.com]

I LOOOOOVE Emmaline Grace! :D

Not a fan of Logan, though. Sounds like something from a boy band.
