Girls: Bayleigh Elizabeth or Caroline Elizabeth. Boys: Sawyer Harrison Sutton still thinking of a mn or Harrison Quinn. Last name is in my screen name. Mobile bumping!
Bailey is very popular in my area and I've always thought it was a very pretty name. I wanted a little different spelling since it is so popular around my town. DH picked Caroline, which makes it even sweeter in a way. Thanks for your input ladies :
I wanted a little different spelling since it is so popular around my town. :
When
said aloud, however, it will sound exactly like all the other Baileys
running around. It will also be misspelled constantly and many will
think "Ah, your parents tried to be creative with your spelling, huh?"
Spelling it Bailey is just easier all around.
I
agree with this. If a name is too popular for your taste, the solution
is not to spell it differently, but to choose a different name. If you
jack up the spelling it just gives you the worst of both worlds: it
sounds exactly like a popular name when spoken out loud and it's harder
to spell. Either way you spell it, I much prefer Caroline, which is
lovely; Bailey is a last name to me, and not particularly feminine.
If any of your surname-y boy name ideas has family significance, I'd choose that. If not, I prefer in order Harrison, Sawyer, and Sutton way down the line (it rhymes with button and it's hard for me to take seriously).

Although Dexter is a really good show...our names are not based on a tv show..I'm not sure where you are from, but I live in extreme southern Alabama, we have plenty of rednecks and I know no one by any of the names I have picked. They are all family surnames between myself and my hubby. Thank you ladies for all of the opinions!
Re: Thoughts on our tator tots possible name

Caroline & Sawyer.
Noooooooo to Bayleigh.
Harrison Quinn? Dexter fans?
I like Caroline and Harrison out of your list. The rest is very redneck in my neck of the woods.

not a fan of any of your boy name options.
Bayleigh reads a little heavy, but I think Bailey is a perfectly acceptable name, and I prefer it paired with Elizabeth more so than Caroline.
I have no preference between your boy names, but think they're both very nice.
Bayleigh is kinda ugly to look at as a name.
I like Quinn, and Harrison is nice. Sutton sounds more like a last name than the other two, tho.
