What do you think of Corona for a girl? Would people be able to get over the whole "beer" thing (though my grandpa was Bud Miller, so maybe it doesn't even matter, lol!)? I can't figure out if I really like the name, or I just like the beer so it has a good conotation. It's not really on my names list, but whenever I'm thinking of names it pops into my head with the middle name Noel.

Also, what about these:

Adoray
Cadence
Cassidy
Sasha/ Sashenka
Sariah

The middle name will most likely be Alia (AH-lee-ah, emphasis on the first). If any of these names are spelled wrong, please let me know. They're from a list I made when pregnant with my first, so I really can't say where they came from.

Thanks!

Oh, and I think our boy name will probably be Jeremiah Austin.

Edited to add: I found another list of names, so I'd like feedback on these also:
Rihanna
Lorelei
Serenity

I wouldn't be able to get over the beer thing.

The only name from your list that I like a lot is Lorelei (and Noel). I'm ok with Cadence and Rhianna (that's the only spelling I've ever seen), but I don't like the others. Cassidy is a boy name to me and Sasha is the Russian nickname for Alexander so that seems odd for me for a girl as well.

oh, and I love Jeremiah Austin

Honestly, I can't get over the beer thing. Sorry.

I love Sasha though. I might like it better spelled Sascha. Cadence is absolutely gorgeous, but apparently it's getting really popular. I like the sound of Alexandra Alia--Sasha is originally a nickname for Alexandra (or Alexander) and you could nickname her Sasha.

Sadly, I think Corona almost sounds pretty... but the beer conotation would be far too much. I like the name Cassidy (prefer Kassidy on a girl), and I think Cadence is pretty.

I dont think Id ever be able to disassociate Corona with the beer, though itd be cute since its slightly reminiscent of your grandfather! I like Serenity a lot, but thats because Im really loving the extremely old fashioned names like Remeberance. Jeremiah is sweet though.

I think we have very different tastes, but....

Corona - no, no one would get past the beer. Sorry.
Adoray - Is this a name? Sounds like a soap.
Cadence - Eh. I don't hate it, and Cadence Alia is cute in a trendy way.
Cassidy - Actually this is one of my favorite gender-neutral names. Like a lot.
Sasha/Sashenka -- I like Sasha okay. Sashenka doesn't sound right to me.
Sariah - Not my taste.
Rihanna -- Nah. But I do like Rhiannon.
Lorelei -- Very pretty.
Serenity -- Isn't this a brand of adult diapers? That crosses it off for me.

Serenity -- Isn't this a brand of adult diapers?

Indeed it is. I said the same thing one comment down. LoL

Haha, ok, didn't know that!

Nope, I'm pretty sure Corona will always be associated with the beer.

As for the other names...
Adoray - don't really like it.
Cadence - love it
Cassidy - it's okay, but I'm not crazy about it
Sasha/ Sashenka - Sasha is my cat's name, so I can't imagine a person being named it. LoL
Sariah - Don't like it. If I'm pronouncing it right, it makes me think of psoriasis.
Rihanna - I've only ever seen it Rhianna unless you're pronouncing it differently spelled this way
Lorelei - Love it, but with the popularity of Gilmore Girls, it's becoming too popular.
Serenity - Incontinence products.

Oops, I did spell it wrong- I meant Rhianna.

Okay then, I like Rhianna. But I'm more partial to Rhiannon, as someone else suggested.

I only like Cadence on your list. I would definitely think of the beer if you had a Corona.

Yeah, definitely makes me think of cheap beer. I like Corona, don't get me wrong. But I don't think it's a good name. It's too bad though, because if it weren't for the beer, it might make a cool name. The second thing I think of is the corona of the sun, and that's pretty cool. Ah well, it's a shame when a brand name ruins a name like that.

Adoray - not sure... it seems a little cheesey/sappy to me, the way it sounds like adore or adoration.
Cadence - ok
Cassidy - ok, kinda cutesy
Sasha - nice
Sariah - nice
Rihanna - don't care for it
Lorelei - ok, but I don't love it. Too Gilmore Girls.
Serenity - adult diapers
Alia - nice. My friend used this for her daughters mn. (Fn is Salome.)

I like Corona as a sound, and that would DEFINITELY be a unique family tradition, LOL! I don't think I could get over the beer, though.

Adoray - Eh.
Cadence - Nice.
Cassidy - Ewww.
Sasha/Sashenka - Neither, blech.
Sariah - Not bad!

Alia - Beautiful!

Jeremiah Austin - Okay.

Rihanna - Eh.
Lorelei - I prefer Lorelai, but I like it. I love the nn Lori (my #2 name for a girl is Lorraine, and I just love Lori for it)
Serenity - Makes me think of the movie/show, but I like it.

Corona... mmm... extra lime on your baby? I agree that it has pretty sounds, but it will always and forever be thought of as a beer, sorry.

The rest are alright, not really my tastes, although I do really like both Cadence & Lorelei.

Loreleiiiii :D

I have a friend who went by Sariah for a wicked long time. I like it lots. Sari is a really cute nickname.

Love Sasha and I actually like Sashenka. I have a weakness for names with hard K sounds in them, though. :O

I think Candace goes really well with Alia

Cadence Alia is the best combination, IMO. They sound great together.

Corona is a no go. Beer references would be CONSTANT. Esp when she got to jr high/high school.

Adoray - don't like
Cadence - really hate. trendy and blah.
Cassidy - okay
Sasha/ Sashenka - okay
Sariah - kinda pretty
Rihanna - really like Rhianna
Lorelei - very pretty
Serenity - yuck.

I like corona, it makes me think of the sun (it doesnt reminds me of the beer but that's because here ni holland is no coronabeer).

of your other girls names i like Sariah and Sasha^^
Jeremiah Austin is beautiful :)

Adoray - I've not heard this before, it's quite nice
Cadence - I think I like it but it seems quite posh. And the nn Cady annoys me because it sounds like Katy being miss pronounced.
Cassidy - I like this name. What about Cassia? And Keziah?
Sasha/ Sashenka - nice
Sariah - nice but sort of looks like Sarah being miss pronounced
Rihanna - nice
Lorelei - love this name!
Serenity - I don't like this name, it seems pretencious to me.

Corona will always be associated with the beer.

Alia is nice, but I prefer Aria since it is an actual word and a musical term.

I like Rhianna and Lorelei, but not Serenity so much.

Adoray - Is this pronounced AD-or-ray or Uh-DOR-ay? I like the first pronunciation better, but still... not too fond of it. The second proununciation sounds like someone trying to speak French but failing miserably.
Cadence - Never liked this.
Cassidy - Used to be a favorite name of mine. Not so much anymore.
Sasha/ Sashenka - Bleh. No.
Sariah - Sounds like psoriasis. So no.

Oh, and I like Noel and Austin, but don't like Jeremiah. Every time I meet a Jeremiah, I suppress the urge to belt out JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROOOOGGG..

for me personally, corona reminds me too much of my coyote ugly days. and that's just not a memory i would want to think of every time i looked at my little girl. lol =\

Sasha's a Russian boys nickname, so it doesn't work for me on a girl. I adore the name, but I can't get my head around girls called Sasha. Unless they're girl dogs, in which case it doesn't matter. :)

I adore Lorelei, though.

Sasha is a unisex name. There are plenty of Russian and non-Russian Alexandras that are Sashas.

Sorry, I thought it was just a unisex name for dogs. I've known plenty of boy Sashas, but the only girls I've known have been dykes who've changed their name to Sasha/Sascha.

Very strange, frankly. :-) Not only is Sasha a diminutive of Alexandra, but Sasha Cohen is Sasha, for instance, and she doesn't look like a dyke to me at all. %)))) I'm sure there are other famous females Sashas, not to mention a plethora of famous female Alexandras (half of Queen Victoria's female family had that name). I went to college with a British girl named Sasha Higgins, and a friend of mine has a daughter Sasha. %)

I'll give you that Americans like that name for their dogs, which is too bad--I think it's terribly pretty. %)

"Would people be able to get over the whole "beer" thing?"

Nope. :-)

Sasha is good to go with your other daughter's Russian name, but for all the saints don't name her Sashenka. People here mispronounce it horribly--it's supposed to have the accent on the first A, and everybody pronounces it with an accent on the E. Not to mention that it's a diminutive nickname, not a full name.

Lorelei is too bombastic (not to mention that Lorelei was actually a pretty malicious siren that lured mariners into her trap, to drown--do you really want your daughter to be named that?), Rhianna is good, Serenity (like any other trait name--Charity, Chastity) is asking for it, Adoray sounds like pig latin to me, and Cadence is too much of a word to be a name. You might as well name her "Beat." %))))
