We just hit our due date and have been pretty certain for the last couple months on names! Would love some feedback just to make sure we are making the right choices!
Baby's sex is unknown!
Girls Name:
First Choice: Lexi Madisyn (feedback on this spelling of Madisyn vs traditional)
Second Choice: Lexi James (we are big fans of boys names for girls- just worried it's too "out there"
Boys Name:
First Choice: Hunter Grayson or Hunter James
Second Choice: Maddox James
Thanks for your feedback!
Re: Names for Boy & Girl! days away!
Hunter James.
Also Madison. It already means "son of" so you can't get more masculine than that?
For a boy, Hunter James though James Hunter or Grayson Hunter would be so much better.
Hunter James is great.
And I am not a fan of Hunter or Greyson so would go for Maddox
If you're serious: When spelled correctly, the ending of Madison is -son means "son of". Would your daughter be the son of someone? No. So strike that one. Regarding James. Would you name your boy Sofia? No. Strike that one. If I had to pick one, I'd pick James because it is spelled correctly and does not end in "son" or "syn". Syn isn't really much better.
Lexi is a nickname. Please call her that if you love it but please give her a choice of name to use in a formal, professional or academic settings. Alexandra, Alexa, Alexia (a stretch but it's better than Lexi) and Alexandria would all work perfectly. I know you love it but this child is her own person and deserves to have a choice. She may be a super conservative lady one day who prefers formality. You just don't know.
Your boy names are fine. NMS but fine. I'd choose Hunter bc Maddox remind me of the Jolie-Pitt clan.
Sorry if this was harsh but you need to hear this feedback. Your daughter will be an adult one day in the real world and you should give her a shot at being taken seriously. Please put some thought into the posts you see here. Best of luck to you on your delivery.
EDD for #1: 3/19/17
I like all of the boys names equally.
My first thought when reading the original post was: "is this a joke?"
Op, please listen to the feedback... you asked for it and we're really trying give you perspective.
Choose a formal name and use Lexi as a nickname. Your daughter will thank you for it later.
Madisyn is bad. Spelling it with a 'y' just makes you look illiterate and ignorant.
James on a girl is trendy. Let this band wagon pass you by. It's not cute.
Suggest: Alexandria Jane or Alexia Jane
Hunter is nms but it's not terrible. Hunter James is fine. Prefer James Hunter.
Maddox is nms either. It's not terrible but I do think it's trendy. I'd pass.
