Help!! Name Insanity!

ALP514 · January 2013

I cant for the life of me choose a girls name. At all . I had a boys name set and had a few girl names but now that we found out we are having a girl, i pick a name i love it and the next day im over it. Did i mention im extremly indecisive. So below is a list of our name choices I want to narrow it down to atleast 5 hopefully 3 .. Both my husband and I come from a European background so we wanted something that was easily pronounced in English , italian and croatian and that flows well with out European last name. please help!

Alessandra

Madelyn

Madison

Mia

Emilie

Lia

Layla

ella

lilly

I adore the name Madelyn. I also like Emilie and Lilly. Not so much on the other names.

Alessandra- it's okay

Madelyn- okay

Madison- Like it

Mia- Like it

Emilie- I don't love it, but I don't hate it

Lia- I don't love it, but I don't hate it

Layla- I prefer Lylah

ella- I love it.

lilly- I like it a lot!

My favs on this list or Ella, Lilly, Mia, or Madison, but none of the names are awful

I would consider the name Lila/Lylah/ Lyla over the name Layla

I think Lila is beautiful

I actually like Alessandra. I know a teenage Alessandra from South America and it's a fitting name. FWIW I am not a fan of Alexandra/Alexis and feel it's over used but Alessandra definitely has a European flair.

I think Alessandra is beautiful and much less popular than your other likes.

dande2129 · January 2013

I don't think any of the names are particularly bad. None of them make me want to throw up in my mouth except maybe Madelyn. I don't like it spelled that way whatsoever.

I do like Emilie a lot, and am also a fan of PP's suggestion of Amelia.

Your best choice here is Alessandra. By faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

Alessandra: I love this name, probably because it is my kindergarten best friend's name. It's not too popular either.

Madelyn: Okay

Madison: Cute

Mia: I really like Mia!

Emilie: Not a fan.

Lia: I prefer Leah.

Layla: Okay

Ella: Love it but very popular.

Lilly: I've always had a soft spot for Lilly.

I like Alessandra. The Alessandra I know goes by Sasha.

Love Emily, but spelled this way.

bumpuser5823822 · January 2013

Mia or Layla gets my vote!

aessary03 · January 2013

Here would be my Top 4 from your list:

1. Alessandra -- my sorority sister's daughter is named this and I've loved it since. Her nn is Allie.

2. Emilie - however, not a big fan of this spelling ....

3. Madelyn - I'm trying to talk hubby into this one, but spelled Madeleine. I like the nn Maddy ...

4. Lilly

The rest are not my style ....

BubbaJug · January 2013

Alessandra is the only one that isn't extremely common. That being said...It's NMS but I will always choose a classic that isn't overused.

kplaxco85 · January 2013

Madelyn, Emilie, an what about Amelia? With nn Mia?

RJM050705 · January 2013

Alessandra is my fav! Mia and Layla are also lovely.

Exactly this. Aside from Alessandra, they're all so overused and played. Ugh.

FrecklesInside · January 2013

Alessandra is refreshing. All of the other names are way too popular for me. If that doesn't bother you, cool, but I can't really offer an opinion other than that they bore me. Sorry.

Alessandra is definitely the best!

Mochadoodle · January 2013

Alessandra - Like it.

Madelyn - I prefer Madeline.

Madison - Like it.

Mia - Love it!

Emilie - Hate it! I'd prefer Amelia or Emily.

Lia - Love it!

Layla - Like it.

Ella - Love it!

Lilly - Like it.

My favorites on your list are Mia, Lia, and Ella.
