Girl Name

I am going to name my little girl Kaitlyn.  The question is with the middle name.  My last name starts with M and is 2 syllables.

I like Kaitlyn Alyssa the best, but I kind of feel like it doesn't flow well.  Do you agree?  Is it too much together?

The other option is Kaitlyn Marie, but I HATE what Marie means.  It means "bitter." But I like how it sounds and it goes well together

Kaitlyn means "pure" and Alyssa means "noble"

Other MN sugestions? Thanks ladies!

    I like Kaitlyn Alyssa. It sounds ok. The first and middle names will not be used together that often anyway. Besides, Kaitlyn Marie would be "pure bitter" Wink

    Does anyone really ever care what the name "means"?  I think Kaitlyn Marie sounds better than Kaitlyn Alyssa.

    I don't think anyone has ever asked me what my name means. 

    What about Kaitlyn Olivia?  Kaitlyn Sophia?

    I don't think other people do, but I care.  It's not a deal breaker, but I wouldn't like my daughter's name to mean "pure bitter." Sophia is not bad, but Olivia is NMS

    Someone said something about having first middle and last all having 2 syllables being too sing-songy.  Do you ladies agree?

    If it matters to you, then Marie is out.  I was just curious if it really was a deal breaker or not.

    I wouldn't necessarily think that having all names be 2 syllables would be sing songy.  I guess it depends on the names.

    I know a little girl named Kaitlyn Michelle.  Those are both 2 syllables and I think it sounds really pretty together.

    I think Kaitlyn Alyssa sounds pretty. Marie is such a boring filler middle name.

    Thanks ladies.  I think I'm going with Kaitlyn Alyssa.
