I wish I could do a clicky poll but I am not as savvy as some of you ladies. Anyway, what do you think of the following? Family tradition to have two middle names.

For boy:
Kole Finley Kai Lastname

Other options:
Everett
Reese after my cousin spelling stays
Thatcher

For girl:
Violet Hana Lily

Other options.
Liberty nn: Tori MIL's name
Audrey
Dru
Alana

Or?
Thanks all!

I prefer Cole to be spelled with a C and not a K. Everett is a nice name.

I like Audrey and Alana for girl names!

I agree with the others about spelling Kole with a C.

Of the other names you have, I sort of find myself drawn to Thatcher. It's different, but I think I like it.

Violet, Audrey and Alana are lovely. I am not crazy about Liberty, but it's fine.

I also dislike two middle names, but can understand why you're doing it if it's family tradition. With that being said, I like Cole but dislike Kole a lot. I also love Kai. The other boy names are meh...NMS but not horrible, though I do tend to think of Reese as the spelling for a girl.

For girls, love Violet and Lily. Like Hana (prefer Hannah) and Audrey. Dru just seems incomplete to me, Liberty sounds stripperish and I'm just meh on Alana.

From your boy names Everett is my favourite. Reese is nice as well, Cole is fine, but I really dislike Kole. Thatcher is NMS, it's someone who builds roofs.

I really like Violet. Liberty is nice, but I don't get the nn Tori from it. Aurdrey is a classic. Alana is NMS and I dislike Dru. Hannah is lovely, I'm not digging Hana (I'd pronounce Hana differently as well).

Everett Finley Reese

Violet Hannah Lily.

I'm not sure your purpose of this but cool. First off, it isn't like it was spelled Lybertee or something. Aubrey really? So Audrey is Barf? Thanks so much for the opinion, which gave me nothing btw. Anyway to those of you who responded, thank you, and some clarification. Yes, the middle name thing is a family tradition so I'm going with it. Hana refers to the Hawaiian (Road to Hana, Hanalei). It is pronounced like Hannah, although with out the spelling it would lose it's meaning. (Just like Kai would carry the meaning in our boys name.) Reese was never my favorite spelling either. Can you change the spelling of a name meant in memory of someone passed? Appreciate all your thoughts! Well, the thought out ones at least.

I like Thatcher, but the other names and the girl names are nms.

luminousbluestar · February 2013

Love that you're throwing in the associations with Hawaii. The road to Hana is not pronounced like Hannah though, it's "?HAH-nah?. Which is still nice but if you want the Hawaii reference I would pronounce it the same way if I were you. Congrats!

My mistake I guess, I've always read Hannah as Hahnah. Now I'm confused as to how that would be spelled and what I've been saying incorrectly all these years. Anyway that is the pronunciation I'm going with.

I like double middle names only if they are used to honor family (both grandfathers or something) or if you want to use your maiden name as the 2nd middle name. Otherwise I hate the idea. If you have to do it, then I'd pair your names with a classic name, instead of having a whole mess of trendy or unusual names like Kole + Finley + Kai.

Of your names, I like Kai and Everett. Kole is spelled with a C and even then, it's not my fav. Thatcher is a roofer and I'm not a fan of Finley or Reese. Of your girl names I like Lily, Hana and Violet but not together. Really hate the others.

FYI, Hana and Hannah are NOT pronounced the same. The road in Hawaii is pronounced like H-on-a not H-ann-a

nykkybaby · February 2013

Again, it would be the real Hawaiian pronunciation, I admitted that I've been pronouncing Hannah H-on-a as you put it, my entire life.

So to clarify Hana, as in Road to Hana.

Finley is a family name, Reese and Lily both memorial names.

Cole is spelled with a K as well, just as Caty and Katy are variations. I personally don't think that makes it trendy. It's personal preference. My name is Nicole, some prefer Nichole. I like Kole.

As far as the double middle name thing, this isn't up for debate either. It is going to be done so I'm trying to come up with the best combo.

Thanks!

Just reread. Sounds bitchy but not trying to be, at work and bumping quick.
