Please give me your opinion! Baby Girl

jaymo517

Hi Everyone! I'm over from February 2015 and I'm hoping you can help me narrow down our baby girl name choices!

jaymo517

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Jayne is a 4th generation family name (with the y). So that's why we are going to include the y. I probably should have mentioned that.

I don't mind Cameron for a girl, but I would choose this spelling.  Cameron Jayne?

I would like Jacqueline, but not with the spelling you listed.

I didn't even realize Jacalyn was supposed to be Jacqueline. I read Jace-ah-lynn.

Agree with others Jacqueline is lovely if you spell it correctly.  

crystalw88

I'm just not a fan of the spellings.

I kind of like Jacqueline Claire, it sounds nice, I just don't like the spelling you listed

DaisyZH

Jacqueline Claire is beautiful.

conradraging

Yes to Jacqueline.

HeavenBlessedMom

Claire
Jane
Elizabeth are good

ashiscute

I agree that Jacqueline Claire is lovely.  I also love Elizabeth and Jayne.  Camryn is bad and Raelyn is worse.

Raelyn Jayne sounds like someone is doing, uh, something to Jayne.

Coconuthead

I could get behind Jacqueline Claire. Elizabeth Jayne would also be nice.

I voted Jacalyn Claire. But only if spelled Jacqueline. Jacalyn looks like you're trying HARD to be different. Don't over complicate it.

Are you going for Jack-a-lyn?  Or Jack-lyn?

jaymo517

We're going for 3 syllables jac-a-lyn. Maybe it's a regional thing, but where I'm from if you want it pronounced jac-lyn or jac-a-lyn you spell it this way. Jacqueline is pronounced Jac-leen (French way I guess you could say). That's why we went for the shorter spelling to eliminate the other pronunciation. But I never thought of people mistaking it for other names like this tread. I'm glad I asked for opinions!

Hmm...that's actually interesting about the pronunciation thing. I now understand a bit more why you would choose that spelling since it actually does make a difference. That being said, I think it would still be better in the long run to just go with Jacqueline and correct those as needed.

Not a fan of Jacqueline but I love Elisabeth, Claire, and Jane.

Claire Elisabeth would get my vote.

Rebis58

Claire, Jane and Elisabeth are lovely names.

Jaqueline Claire would be nice if it was spelled correctly. I didn't vote for it thought because I hate the spelling you used.

Not at all a fan of Raelyn, and don't like Cameron on a girl (especially spelled Camryn)

Is the first name Jase-a-Lynn? If so, I don't like that at all. Instead of raelynn, I would suggest Raina. Instead of Camryn I would suggest Camila. I love the middle names so much better though

I'm with you.  I like it!  It think it is a regional thing.  I knew you weren't going for Jacqueline.

I like Jacqueline (which stateside is pronounced Jack-a-lyn rather than Jock-leen) or Cameron, but really hate Raelyn. Camryn makes me think she's named after a car.

If you're worried about pronunciation, Jackalyn might be better than Jacalyn. I do have a cousin with the traditional French spelling and nobody ever thinks it's pronounced Jack-leen.
