I know its early but so far this is what I have

jf1211

3 names is a must because my DH has 3 and that what we have decided on... With that being said heres what I have so far...

Montana Fay Marie (Maree?) We would call her tana

Silas Chandler James. we would call him Chandler or CJ

I think your boy's name is great, but Montana Fay Marie is just way too "country" for my liking.

jf1211

Were VERY country so I guess if thats what Im going for I got it

KittyMarie219

I would stay away from the name Montana, otherwise I sense a lot of Hannah Montana comments in her future.

Silas Chandler James is nice. I like it.

The girl name?  Eek.  I don't care how country you are, I think Montana is awful.

jf1211

My thoughts exactly. Im not stuck on montana but really like fay marie.

I'm with this!! Very much dislike Montana. I'm not a fan of Chandler either... or calling your child by a MN - why not just make the name you'll call them the FN? It's ok if over their lifetime they decide to be called by the MN - I know this happens sometimes - but to set off with this intention is weird to me.

Good luck choosing.

My DH and a lot of other people I know were never called by their first name going up. I dont think thats a big deal....  anyway Just wondering if the names flow. Its hard having 3 names that go, and What are some suggestions I could use instead of montana? that goes with fay marie

What about Magnolia? I find that a little country, but it's also a beautiful name.

jf1211

I do like that!

This. Montana is a terrible name. I LOVE the suggestion of Magnolia. And spell it Marie, NOT Maree.

Magnolia is BEAUTIFUL!  You could call her Maggie...

I like Chandler but agree that if that's the name you'll use, it should be his FN not a MN.  Chandler Silas James would be a better combo I think.

Odd man out here but I in no way think Montana is "terrible". I think it is a very pretty name! But that's coming from a girl who's fave name is January & I love Arizona!

HeyJune

I like Silas and James, but I'm not crazy about Montana.

Montana is Spanish for "mountain," which is how the state got its name. Just seems odd to name a girl "mountain." How about Savannah instead?

I think they're all pretty.  I like Magnolia too.  I know a girl named Tana, after Montana.  You could just use that (if you were going to call her that anyway?).

I love the name Faye. You could do Faye Marie ____. Maybe Faye Marie Jane or something Like that. Also, I love pp's suggestion of Magnolia. Definitely a nice southern, country feel to it, but spunky and beautiful, too.

My fear for naming her Montana would be, what if, when she's school age, she ends up being a bigger girl.  The name would be used against her, being that it's a big state and means "mountain."  What about Helena?  It's the capitol.  

Fancy3Face

Montana is bad.  

Silas Chandler James is great!  

I say keep looking on the girl name.  

radkates3000

I kind of like Montana, but if you're looking for a cute country name I LOVE Gentry for a girl....

I also think Silas is wonderful and you should come right out and use it instead of the middle name!!!  Haha Just in case you wanted my honesty...

jburdet1

I like your boy name. I'm from the south so it doesn't bother me that a boy goes by his mn. Its pretty common to give a son a family name as a first name and then call him by the middle. I love what this board calls "country" names, but I don't care for Montana at all. Magnolia is nice, but I prefer Savannah Faye Marie or Georgia Faye Marie or Hadley Faye Marie. I'm really liking the combo Faye :)My DD is Shelby Kate Louise, so Shelby Faye Marie. We also like Elizabeth/Libby, Josephine/Josie, and Raelynn.

glueck

The boys name is awesome! A keeper!

I cannot tell you how in love I ma with the suggestion of Magnolia (nn Maggie). Its fantastic, natural, unique yet memorable.... Sounds great with Faye Marie.

I also love Delilah Faye Marie. 

jf1211

Yes ladies I do believe we have all came to the conclusion montana is not the best fit as I said before I am not set on montana but am set on fay marie. I love magnolia. and the only reason maree would be spelled that way is because DH grandma and mom is spelled that way, I also prefer marie.

I knew a Montana, it worked for her. It's definitely NMS but I don't think it's awful.

I don't understand why you would name your son Silas if you have zero intentions of calling him Silas. Why don't you just name him Chandler? Not that I love either but I don't like planning to use a MN as a FN.
