Girls names...

[honey-bear79.livejournal.com]

I need middle names to go with "Alyssa"
It's finally a girls name that Scott and I have agreed on...  We've tried the following:

Lacey Jean
Emma Leighann
Emily Anne
Damey Donelle
Kailynn Taylor
.... and we just can't seem to both agree one on or a mixture of names...  

He came to me tonight and said, "Ally... A-L-L-Y"  I said, "As in... Alley Cat?"  He goes, "Yeah!"  I said, "How about....  Alyssa..."  and he says, "Yup - I like Alyssa."

Now we need a middle name.

My middle name is Dawn
His mother's name is Dianne
My mothers name is Charlene
Grandmothers are Minnie Sue Howard and Norma Dell Hall (neither of the names I care for much..)

Alyssa Taylor?
Alyssa Leighann?
Alyssa Donelle?
Alyssa Dawn?
Alyssa Dianne?
Alyssa Lynn? (His sister and matchmaker in the first place)

Our last name is Lausch (Pronounced Losh.... like Lost with an h)

Just asked about Alyssa Lynn.. he likes it.  What do we think?

Alyssa Nicole
Alyssa Michelle
Alyssa Rose
Alyssa Renee

[honey-bear79.livejournal.com]

I like all but Renee... I really like Alyssa Nicole

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I second that Alyssa Rose sounds good.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I don't like Alyssa Lynn cause of the double ly- sound, but it has such significance, it makes sense.

Just on names alone, I like Alyssa Taylor or Alyssa Dawn.

[honey-bear79.livejournal.com]

That's why we're leaning so strongly against Lynn.. beacuse of he significance.

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

that totally makes sense, and it's nowhere near as bad as other similiar sounding names i've heard

[honey-bear79.livejournal.com]

;) Thanks.

[sayga.livejournal.com]

a triple Luh sound with the last name.

[emiliewtf.livejournal.com]

I have a neice named Emma Leigh. I think that's cute


And Alyssa Ellie, maybe? I think that's cute. But I don't know if you like it.

[honey-bear79.livejournal.com]

Emma Leighann I loved and he loved Emily Ann... they sounded the same either way - but it was pretty adament about arguing it with me. :) Alyssa Ellie is cute too tho.

[emiliewtf.livejournal.com]

I'm drawn to the name Ellie for some reason. I don't know why. And of all things, my sisters stuffed elephant that she's had since she was two is named Ellie. But I really really like that name for some reason.

And I get where you would like Emma Leighann though, because it's more of a unique way of Emily Ann, because there's a lot of Emily Ann's, but I don't believe I've ever met a Emma Leighann in my entire life.

[honey-bear79.livejournal.com]

Emily Ann AND Emma Leighann are actually names that we pulled off of the list of names at my cousins HS graduation. Mom and I were bored and playing with names in the announcment (Class of over 500 students.. there were plenty to choose from).

[emiliewtf.livejournal.com]

I still like it though : )
My name's Emilie Ann, actually
Just a different way of spelling the first name.

[in-the-starlite.livejournal.com]

Haha. I did that at my sister's graduation.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Alyssa is really pretty.

I'm partial to Alyssa Dianne because Diane is my mn and it has served me well. It's a nice pretty name that is rarely used and terribly underappreciated imo.

The significance of Lynn makes sense. I would really care for that combo otherwise. Lynn is a nice fn but a pretty dull mn. And Alyssa already has the ly sound in it.

Ultimately I don't think combo flow matters that much though. If you want to honor someone as a namesake I think you should decide which person, not which name you like. Jmo though.

This will be Scott's mother's 10th grandchild - and we're far from finding out the sex of the baby.. .I'm only 6w. But we've been toying with names between the two of us for over a year. This will be my parents first grandchild... so I was actually wanting to steer clear of Dianne because it's HIS mom's name... I like the name, but not crazy about the significance at this time... not yet.

His sister, Lynn (whose birth name is Lyora pronounced LEE-Or-Uh) introduced us and for some reason - every girls name we've ever played with... well.. not everyone.. but the few we were semi-serious about "Kailynn" being an example - used Lynn.

You're right about the double ly.... but that doesn't ultimately matter to me.

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

Paired with the L in the last name though.. it's a mouthful.

Do you know the name Linnea? (lyn-NAY-uh) It's really pretty and would make use of Lynn. With a mn with no L sound, I think it would be really nice with your last name.

[mysticamor.livejournal.com]

What you have I like Alyssa Taylor and Alyssa Lynn.

How about
Alyssa Shayla
Alyssa Jane
Alyssa Alexia
Alyssa Ariana
Alyssa Bell
Alyssa Ella
Alyssa Isobel
Alyssa Jade
Alyssa Julianna
Alyssa Kennedy
Alyssa Nicolette
Alyssa Reina or Reyna

[sayga.livejournal.com]

alyssa is great, lynn is ok, but ALyssa Lynn Lausch is an awful combination (sorry). If i had your last name I'd even hesitate at the repetition in Alyssa Lausch, but it is still ok. you definitely need a different middle name. perhaps you could save the name Lynn for a subsequent child?

Alyssa Paige
Alyssa Jean
Alyssa Rose
Alyssa Beth

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I agree that Alyssa Lynn Lausch sounds like a tongue-twister, I'd definitely avoid the letter L occurring in the middle name

[kati-d.livejournal.com]

I like Alyssa Lynn... however its kinda plain. I only like using plain if the name has significance and If i totally love it.. here are some options:

Alyssa Anne
Alyssa Corinne
Alyssa Danielle
Alyssa Faith
Alyssa Jade
Alyssa Nicole
Alyssa Rose

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

I love Corinne. =)

[so-there.livejournal.com]

I babysat a girl names Alyssa Rae.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

Isn't it such a trap to honor someone by giving the baby their mn? I always feel like if I use one grandparent's name, the other one might be offended (not that either of our parents would ever say that they were). gah. anyway, I totally understand what you mean, esp since his mom already has grandchildren.

I like:
Alyssa Nicole
Alyssa Kathryn
Alyssa Kathleen
Alyssa Karen
Alyssa Jordan
Alyssa Megan

I think I like the hard N sound at the end of these...

[feelslike-2day.livejournal.com]

I think for the most part i would go with a one syllable name...
Alyssa Brynn
Alyssa Grace
Alyssa Hope
Alyssa Jade
Alyssa Faith
Alyssa Brynn
Alyssa Joy
Alyssa Paige

but some other ones that would be nice:
Alyssa Kalina
Alyssa Dakota
Alyssa Chantal
Alyssa Gabrielle
Alyssa Johanna/Joanna
Alyssa Natalie
Alyssa Sophia
Alyssa Victoria

[amyames.livejournal.com]

i have a friend name alyssa jade.
i think alyssa dianne the most, followed by alyssa nicole:)

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I like Alyssa Dawn

[x-lostinyou.livejournal.com]

Alyssa Lynn is common, but there's nothing really wrong with it. It's just kind of hard to say with your last name.

Emma Leighann is SO cutesy, IMO.

Alyssa Nicole sounds pretty nice.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I like Alyssa Dawn. I also like it with Jayne, Rain and May.
