I posted earlier this week, dd#2 needs a name:) ... dd#1 is Elise Kathleen. We love her name for a variety of reasons. #1- family names, #2 Timeless (we think it is, anyway and #3- *real* names.
So far, there is one name we both like- Payton. Payton Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a family name.
Wdyt of Payton? Is is timeless, classic? Or "trendy" ???
The other name *I* keep coming back to is Madeline. But our last name is French, starts with a D, and is 3 syllables and I'm afraid it would be a mouthful.
MN will most likely be Elizabeth.
And... how do you spell Payton? Peyton? ???
ETA- what about Chloe? Chloe Elizabeth?? Is that timeless?
ETA2- what about Camille? Camille Elizabeth D- -.
Re: f/u- dh and I tentatively agree on a name- wdyt??
Payton is a cute name. I think it goes well with Elizabeth.

Hate Peyton I dont there is anything classic about it. trendy and cold is how i would describe it,
Love Elizabeth
My niece is names Peyton, and it suits her, though it is a bit trendy. It can also be a boys name. Are you okay with having your daughter, Peyton, in class with a boy, Payton? Some people love that. I was just wondering if you are. It is a good, solid name, though and could be a professional name. No bad nicknames.
I wonder if you like Madeline with a long "i" or like Madelyn/Madeleine. It is more of a classic name. I also have a niece names Madeline (as iin Madeleine) and many people pronounce it with the long "i", which is a name I really like a lot. It's just too bad they have to be confused. That being said, my daughter's name is Caroline, which many people (to my surprise) want to say as Carolyn.
If you want another El name. There is always Elena (as you can see I have another variation of that name for my other daughter)
Chloe is a classic name, but a bit too cutesy for my style. Still, a lot of people love it. It will be around forever.
i actually really like the name peyton with an E, but not with an A, I think it flows well with Elizabeth too. It does seem like an odd pairing with Elise, since Elise is pretty classic.
What about Elise and Audrey? I think thats a great sibset and I like Audrey elizabeth as well.
I like Cammile but I dont love it, like I dont know if I would want that to me my own name if that makes sense? Cammie is cute though
Chloe is modern, not classic, but its cute pair with Elise but again, would you want your name to be chloe?

Love Camille Elizabeth!
Don't like Payton/Peyton. Super trendy. Is it just me- I can't make this name sound pretty when I say it... like I over-enunciate it (Pay-tin) or its kinda garbled (Peightnnn). Just me? Ok... lol
Chloe is ok, a little trendy.
Madeline is very pretty, but I still prefer Camille.
Completely agree with all of this. I don't understand how a Payton and Elise can go together. Your other dd's name is so beautiful! I do like Camille a lot.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
Me too, it's a great combo! I like Camille and Camilla.. we went with Camila ::points to siggy:: for the spanish pronunciation.
Peyton Elizabeth has great flow, but doesn't match Elise. And it's trendy.
Honestly, I really like all the others.
Madeline is very pretty, although very popular too, so you may end up one of 10 billion Maddies.
I'll disagree with the majority that I think Chloe is classic. It's perhaps not totally timeless, but it's not a trendy name to me at all. I've always liked Chloe, though, and I think it's gorgeous with Elizabeth.
I'm not a huge fan of Camille (never have been) but it's pretty with Elizabeth and flows pretty well (although I worry about all the Ls.) I think it's also another classic name and goes well with Elise.
Exactly this! The mother of a Peyton that I know always says it muffling the "T" sound and it comes out "Peighann" and it's like fingers on a chalkboard to me.
Camille is lovely!
I totally disagree, I know tons of young Chloe's and think it is trendy. Camille is not trendy at all to me.
I like Camille Elizabeth--very pretty! Do not care for Peyton--very trendy IMO.
How about:
Corrine Elizabeth
Sabrina Elizabeth
Simone Elizabeth
Julia Elizabeth
Gretchen Elizabeth
Iris Elizabeth
Tess Elizabeth
Anna Elizabeth
Suzanne Elizabeth
This exactly.

peyton/payton is a horrible unisex trendy name that should have stayed a last name. It isn't even pretty to say.
Camille Elizabeth is timeless.
Chloe is overused and will be dated.
Love Camille!

i agree with PP, if you truly want a classic name, go with camille elizabeth (very pretty!).
i also like chloe, but i don't think it's a classic name.
i don't prefer payton/peyton.
Peyton is the more popular spelling for a girl. However, Peyton is very trendy and not at all timeless, sorry.
I really like Camille Elizabeth. I like the nns Cam, Cami or Millie, which is my personal fav. Elise and Camille make a wonderful sibset.Camille Elizabeth

.
Camille is classic, and IMO very beautiful. It also is the same style as Elise, and therefore would make a great sibset!
I like Madeleine okay, but strongly dislike the standard nickname Maddy/Maddie.
Payton/Peyton is NMS, because it is unisex and trendy (and not even pretty, IMO).
Chloe is NMS, because it's too cutesy for an adult.
