We have our boy name and love the name Baleigh, but are having trouble coming up with a middle name to go along with it! Any additional ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks!ETA: Last choice! [Poll]

Ba-lee? ... I am assuming you are going for a unique spelling of Bailey?
Okay then. Grace for a middle name to even out *uniqueness*
_______ Grace.

Yes, it is pronounced Bailey. Didn't know it was that unique.

I like the name Bailey, but not your spelling... Using English pronunciation rules, it should be pronounced "Bah-lee". I think you will have to explain the pronunciation to pretty much everyone, all the time. I vastly prefer Bailey. Even Bayleigh or Baylee would be clearer. (And Baleigh doesn't look pretty- sorry.)

Okay, I'm done with that.

Grace is nice, and I like Quinn, Marie, and Reese for other middle names.

Bayleigh is NMS. Bit like Destyneigh (Destiny)

How about Bailey Abigail? I also like Bailey Grace.

Baleigh is nms at all.

Bailey is much better, and I prefer Grace as the middle name.

Agreed. I had to read through the comments to know that the pronunciation would be BAY-lee. I've seen "Bailey" before, but never this spelling. Do what you like (don't listen to us if you know you prefer Baleigh), but if you are indifferent or didn't realize that "Bailey" is the more common spelling, consider changing it.

Bailey Grace.

What's up with the -leigh?

the way you're spelling it would be pronounced like bally fitness if you look at it phonetically. ba doesn't = bay. save your child a lifetime of correcting people and pick another spelling. even if it has to be a unique one.

and is ayn supposed to = ann?

Sorry but it totally sounds like a girls name. If you are ACTUALLY planning to name your DS Bahlee, then you definitely should pick a 'manly' mn. Sorry, but IMO I think you need to reconsider the whole name.

OP is saying that they have their boy name AND they love Baleigh. I take that to mean that Baleigh is their girl name (especially when paired with Grace or DeeAnn).
