Looking for honesty - girl's name

happyjc10happyjc10
in Baby Names

I have tons of time to think about it, but I'm brainstorming already.  What are your honest opinions of:

Miranda Kay

Julia Kay

Lauren Kay

We're set on Kay as the middle name as it is my mother and DH's mother's middle name.  What do you think?

    I like all 3. Lauren is my favorite followed by Julia and then Miranda.

    Good luck choosing. :)

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    I've always loved the name Miranda. I think it's beautiful and not super-common.

    I like Miranda the best.  They are all lovely, but Miranda is a little more unusual.  I know an adorable 2yo Miranda and her big sister calls her Miranda-panda.

    Honestly, I LOVE Julia, but I am partial to J-names. To me, Lauren is a little too generic (no offense to you Laurens out there) and Miranda sounds like it's a name for an older woman, not something for a baby, although I know one day she'll obviously be an adult. Julia sounds like it could be for a young girl or a fabulous older woman. Good luck on your choice:)

    Julia is my favorite name out of the 3 but I think that Kay sounds better with a longer name so I would go with Miranda.

    I love Lauren Kay and Julia Kay!  The only reason I don't like Miranda is because I used to have a cat named that, and you know how you can never picture a person with a name after you've used it for a pet!

    Funny, Aimee!  I know exactly what you mean.  We have a dog, Toby, and whenever I hear kids with that name I cringe because of our puppy! :)

    Note that Julia and Miranda have the same # of syllables, though I do agree that 3 syllables sounds better than 2 as in Lauren. Julia is my favorite.

    I think Julia Kay is gorgeous.  Followed by Lauren.  I don't know any Miranda's and the first time I heard the name was while watching Liar Liar so I always think of Jim Carrey's witchy boss, or the girl from Sex and the City.  But I"m pretty sure that's just me- so don't let my dislike of the name affect you if you love it, lol.  Kay is a nice middle name.

    I'm partial to Lauren since it's my name!  But Julia flows the best with Kay.  Miranda is alright, just not my style.

    Love love love Miranda. It was pretty high on our list.

    After that, I like Lauren (also on our list, but for a middle name) and then Julie (if it were Juliana, I'd probably rank it higher.)

    OK, you asked for honesty...

    Lauren is in my top 5 so yes, I really like that name.

    I think Julia is a very classy name as well...

    Miranda on the other hand.... my friend really likes the name Miranda and one night we were talking about it and a friend of mine said "Miranda?  Like "your miranda rights"?"  and ever since then, that's all I can think of when I hear that name (You have the right to remain silent...etc.).  It's not that I don't like it, I just always think of miranda rights when I hear it.

    I'd go with Miranda Kay, I just love that.  I like Julia Kay fine, but I don't love it.  And I don't think Lauren Kay flows as well.

    LOVE Julia.  I like Lauren but it seems a bit popular at the moment.  Miranda's just NMS.

    I prefer Julia and Lauren.  I'm not a huge fan of Miranda - but that's because I have a bad association with the name.
