Naming Dilemma...Help please!

We are less than 3 weeks from our due date and still have no name for this little girl. We do have a top 3 list but I'm not sure I'm sold. The 3 are Summer, Elsie, and Mckinley. My favorite is Elsie, DH likes the other 2. Elsie kind of came out of nowhere and I love it but DH isn't so sure. I don't want to push him into a name he really doesn't like but he hasn't given me many suggestions and vetoes most of mine. Also we are doing Rae as the MN in honor of his MN. I'm prepared to fight a little for this name but I do want to know if you all think it is just too off the wall with DD1's name being Paysen.

I'm also open to other new suggestions but I don't feel I have any one naming style yet am picky. My only real requirement is that it isn't too common.

  • Summer is the best out of the 3.  Elsie sounds like a cow to me and McKinley is NMS at all.

  • I'm with you. Elsie Rae is a great name imo. 

    I don't like Summer and Mckinley is just okay.

    How about..

    Elodie

    Evelyn

    Violet

    Mila

    Aurora

    Lyla 

     

     

  • Don't like Kinley without the Mc because we know a little girl named Kinley. Elsie means "My God is a Vow" Summer is it's own meaning and Mckinley really has no meaning. 
  • How about instead of Elsie which is associated with Elsie the cow, using Elise.

  • I love Summer but definately not with Rae.  Elsie is really cute but I feel like it's a good nn to another name but can't put my finger on it.  Not a fan of McKinley.

  • the only one i like is Summer....BUT Summer Rae is bad!

    Elsie always  reminds me of elsie the cow

    Mckinley is bad but goes with your DD1's name

  • If I can convince DH would Summer Dale be better? Dale was my dad's name so it still has sentimental meaning.
  • I don't care for any of those names. The only name that goes with Paysen, in my opinion, is Mckinley. I don't like the Mc though...and you say you can't use Kinley. What about Kenley?

    I like the PP's suggestion of Elise instead of Elsie.

    What about Isla? It doesn't have the "s" sound like some of the other names, but I think it goes well with Paysen.

  • I really like Elsie, but then again, I've never heard of Elsie the cow.
  • I love Elsie. We named our daughter Eloise but I call her Elsie all the time.

    I like Summer and really dislike Mckinley. 

    ETA Summer Rae is a little much IMO.

    This.

  • McKinley, I agree Elsie sounds like livestock.

  • I don't love Elsie, but I do think it's the best of your choices. I like it well enough. I think McKinley is absolutely awful for a girl.
