opinions on..

1) Sibset: Myles (17), Hayden (12), Quin (possibly Quinlan) (11), Nolan (11)
All boys. Youngest two are twins. I haven't seen these kids since my brother played baseball with Myles in third grade - I would "babysit" the younger boys (then 2 and 3) during their practices and games and the names have stuck with me throughout the years because I had never met or heard of anyone with those names, expect for Quin. I'm aware that they're a lot more popular these days, but opinions? Do you like the names any more/less based on their ages?

2) The name Lacey?

3) The name Madelyn/Madalyn? (pronounced mad-uh-lynn... not line)

4) The name Ryden? (I believe it's supposed to be like Ryder.. but the last name ends with "er" and they didn't want two "er"s)

5) Middle names for the name Norah?


So many questions! I know far too many people having babies and these are all names they're either thinking of or were thinking of before the baby was born - just wondering what people thought of them.

1.) Prefer Miles and Quinn, but they're okay. I don't like Hayden.

2.) Strippertastic.

3.) Like Madeleine/Madeline. Love it pronounced 'line.' Hate Madelyn with a passion, and hate Madalyn with even more passion. They're both so ugly compared to the correct spellings.

4.) Oh my god please can we stop with the -yden now??? No no nooooooo.

5.) Nora Charlotte
Nora Jane
Nora Maeve
Nora Susanne
Nora Quinn
Nora Caitlin

3) My friend was planning on naming her daughter, with the "lyn" pronunciation because she hates how the "line" sounds. I guess the biggest concern with the common spellings is the "e" ending, which she was afraid would cause mispronunciations. Thank you though!

I would say she will not have a problem. 95% of people in the US will pronounce "Madeline" and "Madelyn" the same way. It's a hugely popular name and in the US is almost exclusively pronounced "mad-uh-lynn" rather than "mad-ah-line." That's actually the reason I can't use the 'line' prn because nobody would ever get it right. The only difference is that 'Madeline' looks much more professional and mature and not like a six-year-old girl.
