I'm due in August, if its a girl, the planned name is Zailee Faith. I am still open to other options though.. I'm having trouble with boy names though, I have one son I named him Holten. He's 5 and I've called him Bo since he was 6 months old! I told myself I will not name this child something that I don't absolutely love! Haha I have thought of Micah, Xavery, and Justys. I LOVE unique names and names that have cute nicknames, for example, I made up the name Livailee because I like Livi for short. Please help! Boy Girl ideas!
Re: HELP!
Please remember that some day, your uniquely named child will need to get a job.
Holten's nice. Micah is great. Xavier is a nice boys name and it's certainly not too common. Felix is awesome. Ziva and Zoya are really nice for girls.
This.
I like Micah, and I like Livi as a nickname for Olivia or Livia. I frankly have no idea how you intend people to pronounce Livailee. Justys is mispelled. Xavery is a schizophrenic smoosh of Avery and Xavier - make up your mind.
Look, your child is not going to be a baby forever. Someday he or she will be an adult and will need to be taken seriously, not to be cute. Come up with all the cute nicknames you want, but pick a legal name that ages well. Unfortunately, most names that end in -lee come across as pretty juvenile-sounding. And making up names is more a self-indulgent exercise in creativity than a way to start your child on a path to a long and successful life. Remember, you are making this decision for another person. You can choose a name that's unique but will still be familiar enough to people that it's easy to spell and pronounce and will sound appropriate on a person from age zero to 90.

Faith is lovely - have you considered using that for a first name? You can stick Zailee in the middle name spot if you love it, personally I'm not a huge fan.
Micah is nice.
Xavery isn't a real name.
Justys is misspelled.
I think you're in luck for Z and X names because none will be incredibly common. Here are some suggestions. I can't help too much with the -lee part, I tend to dislike names ending with -lee (with the exception of Haley and Ashley) because they sound really juvenile. And as a woman in a male dominated profession, I've found that to be a real detriment. I wouldn't want to disadvantage my daughter in that respect, because I'd want her to feel like she could be whatever she wants in life.
B - Beatrice/Beatrix, Bedelia, Bette, Betty, Beverly, Bianca, Bridget, Bonnie,
Z - Zelda, Zita, Ziva, Zinnia
X -Xenia, Xanthe
L - Lucia, Livia, Lucille, Layla, Lola, Lena, Leta, Luna, Lula, Lorraine, Lana, Louise/Louisa
