Hubby and I are TTC and talking about names.

So far I like the names:

Girls:
Annaliese Hailey
Evangeline (no middle name yet)

and

Boys:
Kaden Alexander
Calvin Henry

WDYT?

I love Annaliese and Evangeline. Kaden is NMS at all, Calvin is ok but inexorably linked to the kid in my icon to me.

[hisfuturewife.livejournal.com]

That is my husbands fear with Calvin (he made my icon) because Calvin and Hobbs is his favorite comic strip. I don't know why but it has just grown on me lately.

I really like Calvin Henry, and I like Annaliese but not paired with Hailey. Evangeline is okay, and Alexander is always a winner. Don't like Kaden at all, sorry.

I was actually shocked how much I liked the pairing with Hailey. My husband picked the middle name and I picked the first name. Thanks for the opinion.

Evangeline is lovely. I like that spelling of Hailey but the name, reminds me of a couple of people who are nuts :p It goes well with Annaliese though.

The two boys names have a nice flow though I'd be tempted to go with Henry Alexander XD

Noooooooooo,,,,,,,, to Kaden, Aiden, Jayden, Hayden, anything like that. It is so common and as a preschool teacher I have multiples with these names and they tend to be pains in the a**! I like your girls names and love Henry and Alexander.

I like them all except Kaden, which I strongly dislike.

Although, I wouldn't go with Evangeline if you're not a Christian.

[ma-ee-uh.livejournal.com]

Because of its meaning.

[ma-ee-uh.livejournal.com]

The good news in this case refers to the Gospels. Look up evangelize, evangelical, etc. Also the meaning at the think baby names website indicates the correlation, but this comm won't let me post links in comments for some reason.

I really don't think that should deter people from using names the like. My brother and I both have strongly biblical names, and our parents are ex-Catholics. They liked the names, the end. Most people I know don't even question the meaning of the name when they hear it, I doubt people would make a connection in casual conversation. I even happen to know an atheist Evangeline.

Kaden doesn't seem to fit with the others. you've got some nice names, there, then one that... oh crap I can't think of a nice way to put it. it's terrible and lower class sounding.

I like Annaliese, Evangeline, and Alexander.

I LOVE Calvin and Henry.

I think Hailey and Kaden (especially) look out of place. I could see Hailey since it's a middle name, but Kaden as a first is just trendy.

I know a 2 1/2 year old Evangeline and everyone calls her Evy (Evie, Evey, not sure on spelling)

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

I love Calvin Henry and Evangeline. Annaliese is pretty, but might be better off paired with a more classic middle name. Alexander is awesome, Kaden not so much.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Annaliese is nice, but I don't like how it sounds with Hailey.

Evangeline has a neat sound to it and has a lot of potential nicknames: Eva, Evie, Angie, Evan, Lina. You didn't ask for suggestions but as you have no middle name yet, I thought I might offer a few. I hope you don't mind! Evangeline Diane, Evangeline Fiona, Evangeline Helena, Evangeline Laura, Evangeline Zara

Kaden is so trendy and it doesn't age well. Alexander is a great classic though.

I like Calvin and I don't mind the Calvin and Hobbes association. While I like Calvin better than Henry, I think Henry Calvin flows better than Calvin Henry.

I like Evangeline, Alexander and Henry.

Hailey seems a little plain to be paired with Annaliese.

[silver-soul.livejournal.com]

My 6-year-old has four friends named Kaden (well, actually....Kaden, Kadon, Kayden, and Cayden). So, yeah. Very popular, if you care about that.

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

I like your names, except for Kaden. Especially with a K. It looks much nicer with a C. With a K it seems like a name a girl on 16 & pregnant would use. But overall I don't like at all, because it doesn't really "fit" with your others.

My favorite is Annaliese :)

[audiobiblio.livejournal.com]

My two week old son's name is Calvin! So clearly I approve of that one. :)

I don't hate Kaden, but it's just become so darn popular. It doesn't really jive with the rest of your list in that way.

And I think both girls' names are very pretty. A friend of mine named her daughter Evangeline Noel and calls her Eva. I much prefer the full name, though.
