Name help.

[031307.livejournal.com]

We just found out we are 5wks pregnant with our second child. We already have a daughter named Morgan. We‘ve decided (as of now) on the name Samuel for a boy and the name Shelby for a girl, but the middle names are giving us issues.

Our daughter has 2 middle names, so ideally I‘d like to give this one 2 middle names as well.

So far this is what we‘ve come up with. Keep in mind the last name rhymes with Hook.

BOYS
Samuel David Alan
Samuel Asher Michael

GIRL
Shelby Michaela Grace
Shelby Brooke _____

What do you think of those? Also, if you have any suggestions on middle names to go with the names we've decided on, let me know.

I like Samuel Asher David & Samuel David Michael.

I like Shelby Michaela Grace :) I have a cousin named Shelby Elizabeth Ann.

Brooke Hook? Meh.


I'm SO glad you're spelling Michaela correctly, if you do use it!

I don't think you can go wrong with the boy name. I love love love Samuel and all four of your middle name options are fantastic. I think I like Samuel Asher Michael just a teeny bit more because Asher and Michael are two of my favorite names in the whole world, but that's really just me and either one of these is perfect, I think.

Shelby Michaela Grace is also really pretty. Not my personal style, but Shelby is a nice name and it isn't super popular but isn't totally unheard of, either. And hey! Look at that! Michaela spelled in a way that doesn't make my eyeballs bleed!

I like Samuel Asher in combination a lot. As for Shelby...I guess it's just not my thing.

Samuel Asher Michael... because then his intials would be "SAM" too! (Plus, I love Asher)

Shelby is nms, but Shelby Michaela Grace flows nicely.

Asher and Grace are both really popular, so not feeling those so much. Samuel is a great name, and Shelby is really cute. I like David, Alan and Michael as middle name choices. Brooke is a good name but it seems like it will rhyme with your last name. Michaela is nice and goes well with Shelby.

I like both of the male name suggestions! Between the female names, I like Shelby Michaela Grace.

I've been really digging Shelby as a name recently! Shelby Michaela Grace is lovely and flows well.

I prefer Samuel Asher Michael over the other option.

I feel like Shelby is such a young-sounding name, so I don't really like it (at least not for a human...my dog's name is Shelby :D )
I think it goes well with Michaela, though.

I love Samuel David Alan and Shelby Michaela Grace! Since Brooke would rhyme with your last name, it seems like a bad idea to me.
