Alana Penelope!

If I had to pick I would say Alana Madison.  I really REALLY dislike Briella, wayyyyy too frilly for my taste and I don't like it paired with a FN also ending in an -a.  I also don't think it flows very well with any of your FN's.  What about any of YOUR picks for a FN?

Alena is my pick, he came up with Alana, I don't like Layla (damn song... ), and i LOVE Penelope, but dislike Penny as a nickname. Briella is my pick as well b/c I love Brie for short, or, Ella for short.

Briella Grace, or Briella Madison, to me, sounds nice.  He's not completely sold on it though.

Wondering on your pronunciation of Alana? 

Are you saying it Ah- lay- nah or Ah-lan-ah?

I prefer the latter, but in general I like this name.  I think it's a bit of a mouthful with Penelope and I don't care for Briella, so my vote is for Alana Madison.

Ah-Lan-ah...

I know too many A-Lay-nuh's

Does Alana Madison remind you of Alanis Morrisette though, b/c I am struggling with that one LOL

Alana is nice, but I don't like any of the middle names.

bsinno

 I think Alana Brielle (no a) would win for me

also like Layla Penelope

I like either Alena/Alana Madison. I love the name Penelope, but if you are hesitant about people using a NN and you don't want that, then only call her Penelope and just kindly reinforce what her name is. I would never shorten a child's name unless I knew for sure that is what the parents want. For example, my BFF's daugher is Madisynn and she is just that Madisynn, no Madi-nothing!

For the LONGEST time (since 3rd grade, I kid you not), I loved Madison as a middle name... Albany Madison was the exact name b/c I learned the state capitals haha...

Anyway... I wanted Madison as the first name, but I refuse to call her Maddy and would be LIVID if that's the nickname she got.... My husband is as big on NN as he is on FN's, so we are being particular w/ our choices.

I LOVE THIS!!

As far as the choices and throwing in Penelope--my favorite would be

Layla Penelope

 I also like Alena Brielle.  (I don't like Briella because of the double A ending)

My last name is french.. So, although I LOVE BRielle, and would go for it, it would sound funny I think...

Alena Brielle La B.....

strawberrytree

His first names are fine, but I'm not a fan of his middle names. Madison is odd to me as a mn if it's not a family surname...but I'm also not a fan of Madison anyway. I would vote Alana Penelope.

WashingtonQueen

Alana Brielle (no "a") or Alana Penelope.

 

alohamora

I'm not a huge fan of any of the names...Madison is one of my most hated names for a girl.  I could get on board with Penelope though.

If you like Ella as a nickname, why not just name her Ella?

Out of your list, I like Layla Penelope.

I like Layla Madison!

Helenahhandbasket

Not at all!

5LittleBears

The only name I like is Layla. I really dislike Madison. So much. Layla Penelope I guess would be my favorite combo though it's a little much.

abell77

my vote is for Alana Penelope or Layla Penelope.  Don't care for Alena, Briella, or Madison.

I dislike Alena and Briella, especially together. Layla Madison and Alana Madison are nice. I like Layla Penelope the most.
