Girls:
Layla Naomi
Vienna Lark
Olivia Summer
Lily Sophia
Aubrey Rae

Boys:
Jack Lucas
Noah Alexander
Owen Kai
Carter Scott
Luke Julian

Re:

[dandyda11.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Aubrey Rae! I never would have thought of Rae as a middle name and it works really well. I also like Carter Scott.

Thanks :)

[pfratz.livejournal.com]

I predict that with the success of Grey's Anatomy tha there will be a ton of Addison's. Otherwise, for your girls, I really like Magdalene, Vera, Aubrey, and Olivia.

Jack is probably the same as Addison, but I love it all the same. Also out of your list for boys I like: Noah, Owen, Brody, and Holden.

[dandyda11.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Addison is my favorite Grey's character...but I've loved the name since I was a child so it kind of sucks it has gotten so popular :(

[http://users.livejournal.com/swizzle_/]

For girls I like Ainsley, Ella, Aubrey, and Layla. For boys I like Jack, Brody (that is getting more popular though), and Carter.

I don't know about middle names. There are so many options. Me are just going with my Mom's middle name. Mae. Makes the decision easier.

The names we are considering for our girl are: Arissa, Alanna, and Abrielle/a. Just thought I would share those because it seems we have somewhat simialar taste in names.

[kelkie.livejournal.com]

abrielle/a is pretty. i think it's a better choice than aubrey, more feminine :)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

1. Addison - to trendy for me
2. Ainsley - ruined for me by the fact that it's the name of a local street and library where I work
3. Arden - I really like it
4. Tinsley - reminds me of Dawn Tinsley from the UK The Office
5. Olivia - nice but a little common
6. Ella - pretty but popular
7. Lily - pretty but popular
8. Aubrey - well I like it, but it's my name so I'm biased ;)

10. Emilia - don't like it, I do like Amelia though
11. Vienna - reminds me of sausage
12. Sloan - it's ok
13. Magdalene - not my style
14. Vera - too old sounding for me
15. Danica -nice

1. Jack - kind of blah but classic

15. Atticus - don't like it

[bornto-fly.livejournal.com]

1. Addison - because of Grey's Anatomy, I think this one's going to be a super popular name for girls born now. So that might make you want to rethink it.
2. Ainsley - like it, but not my favorite.
3. Arden - sounds like a last name to me.
4. Tinsley - not liking this one at all. Tin just doesn't sound like a great nn.
5. Olivia - LOVE it but it's really common.
6. Ella - I really like it
7. Lily - OK, but not a favorite
8. Aubrey - I really like it
9. Layla - Pretty
10. Emilia - I'd go with Amelia. Emilia is going to get a lot of mispellings
11. Vienna - okay but not my style at all
12. Sloan - it's OK, but definitely wouldn't be my first choice
13. Magdalene - hmmm, I actually like this one
14. Vera - not a fan
15. Danica - eh, it's okay

Aubrey Sloan
Olivia Sloan
Magdalene Olivia
Layla Magdalene

8. Bryce - okay, but not my style
9. Judah - LOVE it
10. Holden - OMGLOVE.
11. Rhett - Love it
12. Carter - like it
13. Anson - sounds like a last name. Actually, it sounds like Hanson without the H. Not a big fan of this one
14. Slade - sounds too much like a cowboy
15. Atticus - FAVORITE NAME EVER!!!

Luke Atticus is on my list, so I'm totally suggesting that.
Holden Luke
Jack Holden

[zante.livejournal.com]

I do not like Alba. And hell, its a last name! She'll probably get called Jessica.

And I don't understand Lark as a name.

[dandyda11.livejournal.com]

Alba is a first name in Italian. It means dawn.

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

[kelkie.livejournal.com]

1. Addison - alright, but too trendy since "grey's anatomy"
2. Ainsley - pretty. i like this for a girl.
3. Arden - makes me think of elizabeth arden or garden. so no.
4. Tinsley - EW. sounds like tinsel.
5. Olivia - pretty.
6. Ella - LOVE this name, classic and pretty, one of my faves.
7. Lily - pretty, would be cute on a little girl, not so much an adult name, though.
8. Aubrey - it's alright, but i associate it with an old man who lived on my street when i was a kid.
9. Layla - nice, but kinda too trasy sounding to me :\
10. Emilia - alright but too classic for my taste.
11. Vienna - sausages?
12. Sloan - EW.
13. Magdalene - not my taste, too strong sounding and not feminine enough for me.
14. Vera - my grandmother's name. so can't see as little girl with it.
15. Danica - eh, alright but i like some of your other names better.


1. Jack - adorable, another one of my faves. i love jack and ella together as a sibset.
2. Noah - love this one too, although a bit too common lately.
3. Brayden - like it, but prefer grayden :)
4. Luke - love. i like lucas so you can shorten it to luke as a nn.
5. Owen - love.
6. Carson - eh, alright.
7. Brody - don't like.
8. Bryce - don't like at all. too old man.
9. Judah -nice, but too bible-y for me.
10. Holden - too weird.
11. Rhett - even weirder.
12. Carter - associate it with a last name, but it's not terrible.
13. Anson - it's okay but not my taste.
14. Slade - UGH,
15. Atticus - DOUBLE UGH. sounds like some fantasy character.

i hate some of them, but a lot of them are names that i really like. i think we have similar taste - i like names that aren't too common. good luck with the selection process, i can't imagine how tough it is picking a name for your child when you know they're gonna have it forever.

[kelkie.livejournal.com]

Tobias - um, it's okay but doesn't really flow for me.

[stormimay.livejournal.com]

My criteria: I don't like trendy names, names with screwed up spelling, or unisex names. Just so you know where I'm coming from. :0)

1. Addison unisex, don't like
2. Ainsley ditto
3. Arden *sob* I was considering this for my boy's name. Not now.
4. Tinsley um...just don't like
5. Olivia it's pretty; popular right now but too classic to be considered
trendy I think. Personally, I've never known an Olivia I liked
but that's my problem
6. Ella Pretty but popular; again too classic to be trendy
7. Lily Pretty but I'd make it a middle name, could be embarrassing for
her if she doesn't end up very "lily-like" strange thing to
think of, I know
8. Aubrey Name of my first crush, a boy...and my grandfather's middle
name. You know that the original meaning (before girls started
using it) was "King of the Elves?" Same for Avery. Ah, well.
9. Layla Two things I think of: that old song and "Lay low"
10. Emilia Ok. Like others, I prefer Amelia
11. Vienna sorry, have to go with the crew that's asking "sausages?" It's
pretty, though
12. Sloan The Sloans in the Anne of Green Gables series all had
goggle-eyes
13. Magdalene Not bad but a mouth full. Would you be calling her Maggie?
14. Vera ok. I think of hand lotion, and my Grandma Verla, who had an
Aloe Vera plant
15. Danica I'm not thrilled with this name but my girls currrently have
most of their baby dolls named this. They think it's
be-youu-ti-ful. And I know better than to argue with them.




1. Jack You know, it's not so common anymore...how many young Jacks do
you know? So I like it. It's solid.
2. Noah I like.
3. Brayden Um, no.
4. Luke I like.
5. Owen Owen Wilson ruined this name for me.
6. Carson Very much like. Solid Scottish name.
7. Brody Grody Brody. Sorry.
8. Bryce Unisex, so no.
9. Judah I like, and I like it's shortening. A rarity in names for me.
10. Holden I HATE Catcher in the Rye. Plus it sounds like "Holding" with
a southern accent.
11. Rhett I tried, but I can't like it. Plus I know a girl with this
name, but everyone thinks she's a boy before they see her, so I
don't know if it's "officially" unisex yet.
12. Carter I'm ok with last names for boys, but I don't like this one so
much. I would go for it completely though if it were your
maiden name or something like that.
13. Anson Hanson with a Boston accent.
14. Slade Slayed? As in he slayed the dragon?
15. Atticus I love this name. But it's one of those I just can't use.
Great middle name.

Girls: Gemma, Willa, Alba, Carmela, Chiara: sorry. None of these.
Boys: Gabriel, Nolan, Graham, Alastair, Tobias: I like Nolan.

I like

I've always loved the name Vera.
