My on-again-off-again boyfriend and I were randomly discussing baby names the other day. I told him I love Emily for a girl, and he said he'd never thought about it, but really likes it. I suggested Victoria as a potential middle name, and he said he didn't care for it. So, I told him to think of something. In my head, I have this perfect middle name, but I don't say it out loud. Until the first thing he says is the very name I've never told anyone that I love, but have secretly always wanted to use for a middle name. Faye (It was my great-grandmother's maiden name, and I always thought it would make such a lovely middle name, being simple, but also being a family name. He said he didn't know what made him think of it, but it just felt right). So, if at some point we ever end up on-again for the long run and have a daughter, she will be Emily Faye. Thoughts?

Also, we're pretty set on either Seth Gregory or Gregory Seth for a little boy. Which sounds better? (ETA: Gregory is my father's middle name as well as my oldest brother's middle name. Seth, we heard on some bible show on the History Channel, and both kind of looked at each other. He was like "I like that for a boy." I was like "Yeah. Definitely.")

I love Emily Faye!

I like Seth better of the two names, but I think Gregory Seth flows better. I tend to like one syllable middle names.

Emily Faye is my roommate's name! I love it.

Emily Faye is okay as a whole, though I don't particularly care for either name.
Seth Gregory.

Heartily approve of Emily Faye. So pretty.
I really like the name Seth, so Seth Gregory :)

I love the name Emily, and I have a couple of reasons to really dislike it: 1. The popularity and 2. It's my sister's name (we're not close at all)

Emily Faye is pretty, a little cutesy for my taste though.

I prefer Gregory Seth, depending on the last name. To me Seth Gregory sounds like a complete name, I can't imagine Seth Gregory ______.

Emily Faye is lovely, and the family history behind Faye would make it special to her, I think.

I think Gregory Seth flows better, but either way is good, so I guess it will depend on which he looks like when you have him {g}

Emily Faye is very cute.

Oh pleeeease Gregory Seth! I love Gregory and it's so underused! I HATE Seth. :)

I LOVE Emily Faye. Two of my favorite names paired together, so yeah..gorgeous name!

Gregory Seth flows best. Good name, too =).

Faye is my first choice for a middle name too :)

Emily Faye is a lovely combination! I think faye is also first name material if you ever changed your mind about Emily.
