Baby Names

HELP!

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.

    There is a difference between unique and made up junk. Micah is nice. You can use a nn Livi with a real name like Olivia. Giving your child a ridiculous name does them no favors in the real world. Zailee is ridiculous.

    This.

  • I see.. Well could I get some help with girl names that are not incredibly common beginning in B, Z or X, and L? Also names ending with lee
  • I actually think Zailee is cute, but cute is not a great thing once you are grown and need to make you way in the world. I love Azalea and the NN Zailee could work. Keep looking for real but underused names and remember that you are not naming a baby but a person that will need a job one day.

  • 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.

  • Oh lord.... Zailee? REALLY?

  • First I'd like to say thanks for your post on my girls name Kahlan. If you like different names what about Hollis,Apollo or Rhys for a boy. Roma,Metta,Maeve, or vayda for a girl. Good luck!!
  • 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
