My girl names

[missamerican.livejournal.com]

I have revised my list. I tried to put them in order the best I can. I believe I'm having a girl so..

I've got in the habit of calling her Sunshine for now. But before January little Sunshine is going to need a new name... I've been thinking:

*Charlee/Charlotte Austin       [note: I love just Charlee but I'm worried about the "that's a boys name!" thing.. and I don't like Charlotte quite as much]
*Reagan Madison / Reagan Addison / Reagan Marie-Addison
*Gianna Ariana
*Caitey Andersyen
*Alyson Galilahi
*Madelyn Leigh
*Holland Monroe
*Hannelore - needs a middle name.
*Aiyana Akiah Ahinawake
*Denver Marie
*Valley Channing
*Hailey Montana / Hailey Lee / Hailey Andersyen
*A'merie - needs a middle name.
*December Cailin

last name is Taylor.

Thoughts/suggestions/etc?
I don't mind criticism but please don't be rude; most of the names have meanings behind them.

Is Andersyen pronounced like the surname or is the y pronounced?

Denver I see as a boy's name.

If you like calling her Sunshine, you could always call her Sunny.

I mostly hear the surname pronounced Ander-SON.. Andersyen I want to be pronounced Ander-SIN.

I've actually been thinking of really naming her that.. but I'm still not so sure :)

I live in Denmark where Andersen is a common surname (it means "son of Anders"). It is pronounced SEN but I guess it can sound like SIN and the D is not pronounced. But in English-speaking places they will pronounce it as SON because that's what they are used to...and I think the Y might confuse people.

I actually like your name, Jamie. I would like Jamie for a boy. I like the spelling Jaime but I have never seen it spelled that way on a male.

I like that. Maybe Andersen then? No Y. :)

Thanks. I know a boy named Jaime.. spelled that way.

Yes, I would leave out the Y so people don't read it as YEN or something.
You could use Andie as a nickname. I think Andie is cute on a girl.

Congratulations on your baby! :)

Jaime for a boy is a Hispanic variant on Jamie, that has essentially been corrupted by English-speakers into a sound-alike.

I think some name books also attribute it, or at least for girl names, to the French phrase "J'aime".

Hello,

I know, I actually saw that myself at some baby name sites. :) I think the French phrase explanation is why that one variant (Jaime) is usaully seen on girls. I used to live in Ireland where Jamie was more often seen as a boy name (it can be a pet name for James on this side of the world).

I would consider Jaime as a middle name for a boy but I probably won't use it. I don't like the name on girls, though.
