Baby Names

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

Awhile ago we all teamed up and came up with a great name:

Erin Michaela

Unfortunately, the pregnancy ended up being ectopic and I lost my tube. I ended up using the name Erin as the first part of my alias (I'm a writer).

Well... fast forward to seeing a + on this here pregnancy test, and I'm thinking I love the name Michaela. Chris does too (his brother's middle name is Michael), but here's the kicker... we are both really into baseball, and he says we can either use a red sox name (like someone's last name as a middle name) or (by my suggestion) use a name starting with "L". Why? Our last name is Burrow. M.L.B. Sure, it's kind of dumb, but at least it saves me from ending up with something like Michaela Pedroia Burrow.

Here's a list of acceptable combinations I've come up with. Suggestions are welcome, if they start with an L, don't end with '-b' or the '-ay' or '-ah' sounds.

Michaela Leone Burrow
Michaela Lizette Burrow
Michaela Lynn Burrow
Michaela Lux Burrow
Michaela Linden Burrow
Michaela Lindsay Burrow
Michaela London Burrow (London Buroughs don't bother me using it as a middle)
Michaela Lauren Burrow
Michaela Lillian Burrow
Michaela Liberty Burrow
Michaela Layne Burrow (I don't love the '-kay-'-'lay-' rhyme, but I don't hate it)

i like Michaela Lynn

I honestly don't love the luh/luh/la sounds back to back in most of these. Some suggestions that don't have that issue as much:

Michaela Lucy
Michaela Lark
Michaela Lianna


What about Michaela Ortiz or Michaela Ellsbury? ;)
As the wife of a die hard red sox fan, I'm just glad the idea of naming our kids after players hasn't occurred to him yet.

I like Lux and Linden. I think Michaela Lillian has too many Ls.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

I like Lindsay, London, Lauren, and Liberty; the flow the best to me. I think Lindsay might be the best.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I second the suggestion of Michaela Lark. That sounds really nice.

[eicnan.livejournal.com]

Michaela Lauren (and I also like Michaela Lee but that wasn't on the list).

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I love Michaela, especially spelled this way.

Of these combinations, I like:

Michaela Linden
Michaela Lauren
Michaela Liberty

i like lizette, lux and lillian

Um, seriously? Win. Serious, serious win. 12 days until Opening Day!!!

Though neither of the names are my style on their own, I'm really partial to Michaela Lauren. I like the lilt. :-)

[quitmyscene.livejournal.com]

Lynn, Leone, or Lauren are my favorites.

Also: awesome. Though I can't confirm, I'm pretty sure the Red Sox are a large part of the reason my favorite boy name has slowly converted from "Nolan Jacob" to "Nolan Beckett."

[kaoriz.livejournal.com]

I really like Lynn, Layne, Liberty, Lillian. And while I love London, I don't think it flows as well.

I don't have much in the way of suggestions, but thank you for spelling it Michaela as it was intended.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

LOL at Michaela Pedroia Burrow. My diehard Red Sox fan of a husband would love that. I'd better make sure he doesn't read this!

How about Michaela Louise?

[wolfbane.livejournal.com]

Michaela London is my favorite.

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

For a boy it's easy to incorporate the Bosox! I love the name Beckett. I love the name Nolan, too, but there's already a Nolan in the family, so we're going with Ryan or Dustin if it's a boy.

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! Go Sox!

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

lol eeegads. I had a hard enough time reminding him that our first one was a girl. He was stuck on... Trot. TROT. Ugh.

[ivegotbaggage.livejournal.com]

Tigers all the way. :-)

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

I love Lark, but my husband likes "normal" names (outside of Sox names, that is).

Lianna is a pretty name, but I hate the La/Na rhyme.

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

I hate butchered names. I wonder if the mothers/fathers realize that "Emily" and "Emmaleigh" sound the same when you yell them on the playground...

[soapfaerie.livejournal.com]

Nobody's mentioned my fave Bosox player, AND it's an L!

Michaela Lowell, haha.

Not the greatest, but i couldn't NOT say it!! ;)

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

I am NOT letting Chris see that suggestion. lol

[soapfaerie.livejournal.com]

lol yeah i don't blame you, but like i said, it needed to be said. ;)

[esilva7.livejournal.com]

I love this spelling of Michaela! So much prettier than Mikayla/Makayla/etc.
Oh and I like Michaela Lauren the best!

[kort-ni.livejournal.com]

What about Linnea? Lin-ay-uh..Not exactly "normal" but kind of reminiscent of Lianna

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i like lux, lillian, linden, and london. as for suggestions, lillith or lily might also sound nice. sorry they're so similar to lillian :]

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I like Lauren!
Michaela Lennon Burrow
Michaela Lennan Burrow
Michaela Lenore Burrow
Michaela Liadan Burrow
Michaela Lorelei Burrow
Michaela Lyric Burrow
Michaela Lior Burrow
Michaela Lilias Burrow
Michaela Leonore Burrow

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

Lennon is a boy's name, and I know a bunch of 'em.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I like Michaela Lyric.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

LOL, I've met four...and three of them were girls. Same with London - know just as many girls as boys. Even know a male Lauren. To each their own, though.

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

London/Lauren definitely unisex... I'm guessing Lennon was being used on a girl for John Lennon? Gross. It's definitely a boy's name http://www.behindthename.com/name/lennon

[rubie-dubidoux.livejournal.com]

Um, excuse me.

Michaela Lesley

You're welcome.

[wizened-cynic.livejournal.com]

I like Michaela Lauren and Michaela Lindsay.
