in Baby Names

Our short list is now the following:

Marin Olivia P

Olivia Brynn P

Olivia Marin P

Raya Marin P

This week, we are calling her Marin to see how we like it.

Thoughts on the names? Is anyone else calling baby something for a certain amount of time to see how it fits him or her?

    I like Olivia the best of the three (with Brynn as the MN), but it is really popular. I think Marin would be my second choice.

    I like Marin the best out of your name choices.  We had names picked out before we found out what we were having,and were 100% sure about them, so no help there. Sorry!

    How are you pronouncing Marin? I know 2 girls named Marin and one pronounces it Marr-en and one Mare-en. Either way, I really like it. Marin Olivia gets my vote.

    Mare-en

    I kind of agree that Olivia is a little too poplar right now. Better for a middle name, I think.

    My DHs name is Mark and he came up with Marin, as he thinks its cute because its similar. I think his thinking that is sweet :-)

    I love Marin! I prefer the spelling Maren, but either way is pretty.

    Marin and Brynn are both on my shortlist! Smile (One after the other, actually). I think you are right not to pair them together though...they just don't flow nicely.

    As much as I'm not a huge Olivia fan (I have a friend with an Olivia and another with an Oliver...so it's always been out for me)...I DO like it as a mn with Marin.

    I saw Marin spelled with a "y" for the first time today...Maryn. Although some people aren't fans of adding gratuitous "y's" in the middle of names...I actually like it a lot!

    I like Marin Olivia the best.

    My niece is Maryn (pronounced Mare-en). I think it is a pretty name.

    I like Marin Olivia!

    Olivia is a beautiful name, but is too popular for me for a first name.

    Raya is my third choice; I don't dislike it but don't love it. Although just as food for thought, our first choice girl name is Aurelia, with the potential nickname Ray.

    I like Marin.  I am a  little biased as that was the second choice for my name.  I think Olivia is soooo popular right now.

    I actually like Marin Olivia, but this is likely a bad choice, as the initials would be MOP.
