Baby this weekend? Need help with names! Clicky :-)

duffmaker · November 2011

Re-post from Novemeber Board, short version- my grandmother has officially predicted that I will have my daughter this weekend and she is never wrong! It's scary... but I we still haven't decided on a name! Here's our short list for the hospital and if you have any suggestions that match our naming style please share! (Charlotte, Lorelei, Ava, Hallie, Bristol and Summer have already been taken off the list so just don't suggest those )

We have Kiley that we both like, Daphne (my idea), and Maya (FIs idea)

Marie is a family MN (shared by MIL and both SILs) but using it for Kiley would give her the same initials as a SIL, so we'd use Reese/Renee because I like both but FI won't let us use it as a FN. With Maya none of our middle names work (part of the reason it isn't clicking with me) Marie, Reese and Renee just don't sound right and the other 2 possibles, Elizabeth and Ann, give her initals that I'm not a fan of.

I actually kind of like Maya Renee together. I don't like the way Daphne sounds together with your last name. I'm not a big fan of Kiley. It sounds too cutesy/trendy for my taste.

Daphne and Maya are both nice. "Daphne Dufford" is a alliterative and a little tongue-twister-ish but not so much that I'd reject it on that basis. Dislike Kylie (though if you'd consider Karly or Carly that could be very nice).

My favorite of the three is Daphne, but I really don't like it with your last name (the combo is really Daffy Duck-ish IMO). Maya is NMS, but it's a million times better than Kylie.
