Which FN/MN? Clicky Poll

3*peas*in*a*pod

Of our lists these are the only two FN we both agree on.

For middle names: 

Elaine-my grandmother's middle name and we have considered Alaina ? ?

Lynee'-my middle name after my aunts. Yes my mother made a smooshed name(Lynn + Renee'), but I really love the way it flows with my name. My aunts mean a lot to me.

I feel like there needs to be a "none of the above" option.

I actually like Finley. I'd work on a middle name that flows better.

Do you have any suggestions? My husband is in LOVE with this name.

I thought Finley and Leighton were both boys names.

Maren Elaine would be my pick.

Thanks for the suggestion. This was actually one of my top name choices but DH does not like Maren for a first name : (

I like Elaine for middle name. Not sure about the apostrophe at the end of the other one. The fIrst names are nms.

I think they were ...at one time.

Love Maren, like Lyn?e. (I'd prefer it spelled Lynnae or Lynae, but that's just what I'm more familiar with.) FYI though, with names like Ren?e, the accent is on the first 'e', not the second. French rules, and all.

Whoops, that's your middle name! I hope your mom spelled it correctly. (Can't edit post- stupid iPhone.)

Finley is definitely a boy's name.

This. I have a 2YO boy cousin named Leighton and a friend who just named her son Finley. Never heard either of them used for a girl.

Sorry, can't vote

Do you really want to be one of those people that ruin boys names by using them on girls? Do you want your daughter to carry a name that could be shared by boys in her classroom? I realize it is less of a big deal to the girl, but it IS a big deal to the boy, and at no fault of their own they could be made fun of for having a girls name.

Just things to think of before you give your daughter such a masculine name.

This.  Sorry OP I do not like the FN you have chosen at all.

I like your middle names, but I'm not a fan of either of the first names.  Leighton reminds me of the actress Leighton Meester (I'm not sure if that's how you spell her last name) and I always thought she had an unfortunately ugly name.  I prefer Finley, but I still don't like it (for a boy or girl).

I have a dog named Findley after the town in Ohio. Otherwise, I've only seen Finley as a boy's name.

I like Lynee or Lanae.  Why not use that as a first name?

I love Finley and Leighton as FN, however I dont think Leighton really flows with those middle names, kind of a mouthful! I voted for Finley Maren
