Baby Names

Team Green needs name help!

We haven't found out what we're having so we need names for both sexes:

1.  For a girl, middle name is probably going to be Jean (family name), we have the following names so far:  Gillian, Carleigh, Rebekah, Roselyn.

 2.  For a boy, middle name is Brian, we have for the first name:  Zachary, Ethan, Garrett

 Any suggestions would be helpful and if you hate all of these names, suggest some please!!!

Re: Team Green needs name help!

  • I really love Rebekah... this was my best friend's name growing up and I think it's lovely and a classic. I also love Rosalind (as in the Shakespearean character)... Roselyn is fine, but I think the spelling for that is traditionally Rosalyn. Gillian is a fine name, but people tend to pronounce it with a hard "G" as opposed to Jillian with the soft "J" sound, unless that's what you wanted. Throw out Carleigh... I hate names that highlight as misspelled words and anything -eigh screams tryndee and "my parents didn't know how to spell and were 16 when they had me".

    As for boys, I really love that you have Zachary on your list! This is one of my favorite boy's names. You really don't see it that often any more, especially with all of the Ethans and Garretts running around. I do love Garrett, though... it was a family surname of mine and I tend to like it quite a bit. Ethan is quite the classic. I would go with Zachary Ethan Lastname or Zachary Garrett Lastname.

  • From the names you listed I like Rebekah Jean and Garrett Brian. Ethan is my favorite boy name you listed, but it doesnt sound right with Brian.

    I love Rebekah (prefer Rebecca). I love all your boy names!

  • I like all of your girl names, but I would tweak some spellings: Carly is easier, as is Rebecca (regardless of whether or not Rebekah is the original). And I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce Roselyn: Rose-lin? Rosaline?

    Love Garrett, like Zachary, tired of Ethan.

    All in all, you're doing well with nice, timeless choices! You have a big Yes from me, a random internet stranger ('cuz I know that is what you were going for)! Smile

  • For a girl, I like Carly (not a fan of the Carleigh spelling, myself); for a boy, Ethan. Best of luck!

  • My favorites are Gillian (although I prefer the J spelling) and Ethan.
  • I know a Carli Jean, so that sounds natural to me. I like Rebekah Jean. I like Gillian, but not with Jean. I think Zachary sounds best with Brian, but I prefer Ethan or Garrett. Probably Garrett because it's less popular.
  • 1.  Carleigh Jean (FSDs mn is Jean)

     2.  Zachary Brian (FBIL fn is Brian)
