"The list"

jes43 · May 2013

So obviously we have PLENTY of time before a decision needs to be made....however, it will most definitely take the next 33 weeks for us to agree! Stick out tongue

After lurking on here with a previous pregnancies, I do understand that many of our picks are not super "popular" with this group, but humor me on what you think! Wink Last name starts with a strong "K" sound and end with a long "E"

Here is the "so far" top runners:

Girls:

Maisyn Rae (NN Maisy)

Sloane Eloise

Helena Rae (Rae is because baby was conceived on a vacation in sunny FL Big Smile )

Talia Elise

Hazel Rae

Boys:

Liam Scott (Although Liam is becoming a tad bit too popular for me)

Cash Jeffrey

Miles Ray

Pierce David

Kyler Scott

Branson Michael

Chase Jeffrey

Fire away ladies!

Helena, Miles and Chase all get my vote!

Manderlin923 · May 2013

Girls:

Maisyn Rae (NN Maisy)- Don't like at all.

Sloane Eloise- I like

Helena Rae- I like Helena, don't like Rae. And I don't think your baby would want a middle name based on where her parents did the dirty...I sure wouldn't.

Talia Elise- Very pretty

Hazel Rae- Don't like at all.

Boys:

Liam Scott- Dislike Liam. Love Scott.

Cash Jeffrey- No!

Miles Ray- I like Miles and Milo.

Pierce David- okay

Kyler Scott- meh

Branson Michael- no, what about Brennan? I like Brennan Scott.

Chase Jeffrey- LOVE Chase!

Pierce and Miles for a boy.

jes43:

Maisyn Rae (NN Maisy) = Maisy is a real name and I like it. Maisyn is awful I could see her being called Maisy-n instead of Mason because of her nn.
All the other choices are fine.

MelRC117:
Strongly dislike Maisyn aka Mason. The spelling doesn't change what the name is.
I like Helena and Talia.
I like Chase Jeffrey or Miles Jeffrey. Pierce and Liam are okay. David and Michael are nice MNs too.
I really don't think naming your child with the MN with Rae or Ray is a good idea. I really don't think naming your kid after his or her conception is a good idea. Imagine them having to make up to their friends about their MN. I would be so grossed out if my parents did that.

Yaaaaa that wouldn't be something that I would plan on SHARING with them....if they were to ever ask (which my older 3 have yet to ever ask why their MN is what it is and they are in their teen years) I certainly wouldn't give the details....it would simply be, because they are our little Ray of sunshine.....that's a mommy and daddy inside secret! lol!

Sorry to post hijack but I've wanted to ask you if this was really your name and if you liked it!

It's not my IRL name-- but I do love it-- esp the Helen-uh pronunciation.

really like talia elise (our girls mn will be elise too)

love Chase!!

all the other names are NMS

GrayGhost13 · May 2013

Interesting list. They're not all my style, but you have some really great options there!

Don't Like - Maisyn, Kyler or Branson

Like but don't love - Liam (I would actually love this one but it's too popular), Cash, Pierce

Love! - Sloane, Helena, Talia, Hazel, Miles and Chase

Ultimately, it's a tough decision, but I think my faves on your list are Talia Elise (love both the FN and MN here) and Miles Ray.

GL!

Empireceo · May 2013

I like Helena and Miles, but neither with the middle name Ray/e.

Maisyn, Kyler and Cash are really bad.

solsburyhill · May 2013

I'm going to vote Talia Elise and Miles Ray.

BethPSU · May 2013

Sloane and Hazel are my favorite of the girl choices and Miles an Pierce are my favorite boy choices. Liam is nice, but overdone and Chase is ok. I have a Pierce so I am partial, but we haven't ever met another one IRL. I love that he owns the name:

jane.says · May 2013

I like Sloane, Helena, Talia / Liam, Miles, Chase

strawberrytree · May 2013

Talia and Helena are gorgeous! Love them both. Maisyn is a hot mess...I'd rather see just Maisy as the full name. For boys I like Liam, Pierce, and Chase a lot, and dislike Kyler.

Your other names are nms, but nothing bad.

arizonatea · May 2013

I like Talia Elise best for the girls. It has a very nice sound to it and won't be too hard to pronounce.

For the boys I like Miles ad Cash; neither are too popular but they are really nice.

Please don't name your baby after the sunny day on which you conceived. It's kind of tacky and gross, inside joke or not IMO.

PinkLillyLover · May 2013

Helena and Chase get my vote!

hmp1 · May 2013

My favorite would be Natalia Elise nn Talia.

To mix up the boy names, I would pick Pierce Jeffrey. Chase Jeffrey is my second pick.

Perhaps because I am in Nashville, but I am so sick of the name Cash.

MrsApplelovesMrApple · May 2013

Sloane, Hazel, and Miles!

apc1929 · May 2013

I love all the girls names but Maisyn. Sounds like the uber populat male Mason and I just don't think its very pretty. If you were going to call her Maisy I would rather see that. But Helena, Hazel and Talia I really love

Liam is very popular but its definitely my favorite of your list.

capulet · May 2013

I like Hazel, Helena, and Talia. Hazel is probably my favorite. Maisy is fine as a FN but Maisyn is bad. I have never found Sloane remotely feminine.

The boy names are NMS but nothing I'd side-eye either. Miles is the best, I think.

I would personally want to give my child a MN I could honestly explain to them later. If you need a little secret with your DH, I don't think it should be another person's name.
