Hi..new here!

My name is Brittany and I am 17weeks pregnant. I am 19years old, this is my first child. I have come to find out that choosing a name for your baby is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do.
I have decided on a boys name I love: Landen Cole Fowler

The girl's name however I am having difficulties with. The middle name has to be Shannon. It's a name that is very special to me and my family. I like Lilly, but not Lillian, just Lilly.
But I'm not to sure about Lilly Shannon Fowler.

I will probably have houndreds of ideas before the baby actually gets here. I tend to change my mind alot.

I would love to here feedback about these names, good or bad, I can handle it. Thanks

Landon is a common enough name (ranked #60 for 2005, probably higher now) that the standard spelling is the spelling people will assume. Imo, having to explain that the spelling not standard is an annoyance better avoided when you can.

I know its getting really popular, but I love it!!
hmmm...I just don't like the way Landon looks...Landen looks better to me.
but I have like five months to change my mind, nothing is final yet

I agree with you. Landen looks better to me too.

It just reminds me of that company, Land's End. Landen ---> Land en --> Land End.

Also I my first thought about the -en was that it looks more like a lastname, maybe partially because Landon is the one I see and the time, and also because the -en ending makes me think of lastnames like Larsen. I think Landon sounds a lot better too (I know Landen and Landon can sound the same to some people, but to others it seems like Landen is forcing a regional accent or something). But whatever. It's not the biggest deal, at least you aren't going with Landynn or something.

At least Landen is no longer "Land on..." which is one of the things I dislike about the name. However I have only seen it spelled as Landon before, so that would be the standard and assumed spelling.
