Help! Just gave birth! Need name!

Aloubrakebill

Just gave birth and we need help with names! We are in the hospital and are undecided.

Trying to decide on first and middle.

Deciding between these two:

Sailor Laless


Mavi Laless



(Pronounced mah-vee)

Laless is last name.
Brother and sisters names are Crue and London.

Here are middle name options for each.

Sailor Indigo
Sailor Adelaide

Mavi Indigo
Mavi James
Mavi Adelaide
Mavi Arden


Lower down the list possibilities:
Mavi Roswell
Mavi Sinclaire
Mavi Alexandra


Or you can hate all of them. .

Please help ASAP!

I'm sorry, I'm not a fan. Indigo Adelaide or Adelaide Indigo?

Smallangel

Congratulations on your Baby girl!

I'm sure choosing a name for a baby is not an easy task as this will be the name called for life...
I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of any of them... I have a girl name already picked out so won't give you that but quite like the sound of Ava Laless or Eva or Amelia
Not sure on a middle name though but all the best to you!

If you love those two and are picking between them, I'd go with Mavi. I think it might be weird to have both Crue (homonym for crew) and Sailor.

They are both truly awful and with Cru, Sailor is almost funny. What about Maeve? Similar to Mavi but much solider.

Edit for autocorrect

Congrats!
Please don't name your daughter Sailor. All of those name combos are no good.
What about Adelaide or Alexandra? I also like pp suggestion of Maeve.

LizWhiz87

Congrats! While your names are not my style, I would go with Sailor with your other children's names. It works with the kind of geographical/nautical vibe. I prefer Adelaide over Indigo as a MN.

missteacherlady16

Truthfully, these are NMS at all. It sounds like the name of a place instead of a person. 

Did you have a boy or a girl because I cannot tell from the names you have provided? I'm thinking you had a girl because of the use of Adelaide and Alexandra, but James is masculine so this confuses me. Knowing the sex of your baby would be helpful in providing constructive feedback.

Sorry but I think already having a child named Crue is exactly the reason that sailor should not be used on this new child. While I think Mavi is loads better than sailor, I do also like the PPs suggestion of Maeve.
Congratulations btw OP, and while I do not mean to sound snarky at all I think Crue and sailor in the same family would be a little much.

Please do not name your child Sailor. That's really not a good name.

Mavi by default, though pps suggestions of Maeve, Adelaide and everything else is much better.

HeavenBlessedMom

not a fan of any. Is this a girl? Really cannot tell by the name

kap1988

I'm not a fan of Sailor at all.  Mavi is a little better.  What about Alexandra or Adelaide with Mavi as the middle name?  Although Adelaide and Mavi combined is just too much A sound with your last name.  Maybe Adeline Mavi?

Out of the ones you listed Mavi Is the one I like better. For the middle name I prefer James or Alexandra. Alexandra sounds more feminine though.

Why would you give a girl a name like James? It's masculine...

I think Mavi is cute. I like Mavi Adelaide best. Adelaide is a very big street where I'm from so I have heard the name used quite a bit. Just because Blake Lively is beautiful and cool doesn't mean it's ok to call a girl James like she did.

CaringCat

Reading your name choices, I initially assumed it was a boy (of course until I read Adelaide as a middle name possibility). Personally, I would not do Sailor with a Crüe sibling. Between the two, Mavi for sure. I think Adelaide is absolutely beautiful if you'd consider it as a first name! Congrats on the new baby!!

daystardreams

Maeve! Congrats on your baby.

I know I will definitely be in the minority here, but I really like Sailor Indigo.  Not two names I'd generally gravitate towards, but I think they sound sweet.

MWoodside

Mavi James of the choices you listed.

valeriemarie24

Mavi James does not sound like a girl to me at all. So if you do use Mavi use Adelaide or something a bit more feminine for the MN

neverblushed

Congrats!

I agree with PPs that Sailor and Crue in the same family is a no-go.  People will assume your children's parents are flaky -- sorry!

Mavi wins by a nose here, but I think your child will be in for a lifetime of correcting people who mispronounce it.  I'd be very cautious about it.

On the other hand, I think Adelaide is an awesome name, and even though it's a more traditional name than the others, I still think it goes well with your sibset.  Indigo would also work as a first name and fit the "vibe" of your name style.

Adelaide Indigo Laless

Indigo Adelaide Laless

Mavi is masculine. Don't put that on a girl.

Kate0034

Crue + Sailor = terrible.. Sorry.

Mavi is better, but totally NMS. I like names that are established and have at least some kind of history. Maybe Maude or Maeve?

Love the idea of Adelaide as first name. If you want to make it a little more modern/different, you could do Adelaide Mavi or Adelaide Indigo

James Arden <--- thought it was a boy.

Girl: Adelaide indie ?

jessnjuan07

Mavi Adelaide or Mavi Alexandra out of your choices.

amylianne

My goddaughter is Saylor, so I am biased toward the name. It may be a bit much with Crue, though.

Mavi James is cute, and I tend to like unisex names for girls. I also like MJL for initials.

Mavi and James are both, by definition, masculine. They are not unisex.

mrsalvidrez

Guess I'm the odd man out because I like sailor. I don't like mavi. Reminds me of the color mauve which I think is just terrible lol.

Maladroit

What did you pick @Aloubrakebill ?

Aloubrakebill

We went with Mavi Sinclair. We found that Mavi is in fact used as a boy AND girl name, and it was given to girls in the last few years though not crazy popular..... Which we like. It means Blue, which isn't boy or girl by meaning. It's not pronounced Mauve-ey.... As some might think, like the color. It's Mah-vee. And my husband and I decided on Sinclair in the hospital. .

The only reason it's being used on girls is because people ignore its gender. It is masculine in origin.

I love Mavi, it's so simple and beautiful! Congratulations!

Mavi is cute! Thanks for updating us! I was really curious what you chose!
