What do you think?

My better half & I are planning to have a bun in the oven within the year, if it's a boy, we're dead set on the name Ernest Liam. Ernest because it's a family name, our son would be the fifth! But, he's going to go by Liam.

This is where I'm stuck...
If we have a girl, I really love the names Erin & Bailey... I really want the middle name to be Nicole, for two reasons. 1, I really love the name, & 2, it's his little sister's name, who I've become extremely close to.
So what I'm asking is,

In your opinion, which is better? ...

Bailey Nicole Carmichael
Or
Erin Nicole Carmichael


Thanks you guys, xo.
Much love,
Soleil ♥

I much, MUCH prefer Erin.

I'd name him Liam Ernest, though. I don't like when people name their child something and plan on using the MN. I see that it's because of the family tradition thing, but I still don't really.... understand it, I guess.

Mm, I can't do that. It would ruin the whole "Ernest Carmichael" deal, because it'd be Liam Carmichael. My husband's first name is Ernest, second is James, but never in his life has he been known as either of those, he's just E.J.

It's very important to keep Ernest as the first name.

Oh, I understand. It's just a pet peeve of mine, I guess. Heh.

Ernest also makes me laugh a little, because I always want to say 'Ernesto!' when I see it. Family thing, haha.

Hahaha, yeah, to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of it either. I'd just really hate it if my son's name was Ernest, but I really can't change the order. The first name has to be Ernest.

Yeah, I always think of "Ernest goes to camp"... and some of E.J.'s friends, that actually know his first name {very few} made a joke "Ernest joins the army" ... since that's what my husband does.

*Sigh*
Ah well.

Agreed completely. I just don't get it. Irritating to me.
