I'm torn between

Sheilamcd24 · May 2013

Raelyn Grace or Ella Grace.....

What are yawls thoughts on both? Dh and I both love the name grace as a middle name. But he likes the name Raelyn and I like the name Ella. Help!

Empireceo · May 2013

Ella. I don't like Raelyn at all.

But if your husband doesn't like it you may need to scrap both first names.

Ella is more popular but Raelyn is a trendy smooth name.... So Ella, by a lot.

catahoulatte · May 2013

Ella Grace.

I just don't like the look of Raelyn. It looks and sounds clunky. And the -lyn endings is a big trend right now that I'm also not a fan of.

salt78 · May 2013

Ella by a mile.

But if he is really not sold on it, I think it's time to find a name that you both like and agree on.

Love love love Ella.

Er - I wouldn't want anything that sounds like Railin' associated with my daughter

NerdyLucy · May 2013

What about Ella Raelyn as a compromise?

Ella Grace because Raelyn seems like a smoosh name. But I'm also sick of hearing the name Ella and then pair it with the MN Grace...definitely over done.
I agree with PPs though...you guys need to compromise instead of having one person "losing" and one "winning". I think both need to go.

Yes to the bolded. I honestly love both names, but if you had Raelyn and he hates Ella, then it's time to go back to the drawing board. The great thing about names is that they're pretty much infinite, and I'm sure you will find one you can agree on.

I can only think of Raylon, Timothy Olyphant's character in Justified. And while he's very hot in that role, not so good for a baby girl. Ella is overdone IMO but lovely.

i love ella grace!

fennyann · May 2013

Yes

chapstix7 · May 2013

Ella!

apc1929 · May 2013

I much prefer Ella Ella Grace is beautiful

Helenahhandbasket · May 2013

I say scrap both and start over, OR compromise on Ella Raelyn.

meganandchase · May 2013

Ella is beautiful. Raelyn is awful. If DH hates Ella, you have to start over, but if he just likes it second best, go with Ella.

benmel31 · May 2013

Ella Grace.

provwife · May 2013

Ella. I want to like Raelyn but all I hear is railing...and that just has too many gross jokes with it.

Ella Grace by a landslide. Lovely name.
Raelyn is made up.

All of this.

starshineamator · May 2013

Not a fan of Raelyn at all. It is a smoosh name, sounds awkward, and super trendy with the whole "y" thing. Ella is nice, and Grace is a nice middle name. But if you can't agree ,you need to start again with some new names.
