We are pregnant with baby #2, and think we may have decided on names! We will not be finding out the gender. I am looking for your opinions on the names, how they sound together with middle names, our last name, and our daughter's name. Please help!

Our last name sounds like Zelesski...
Our daughter's name is Morgan Rae...
The names we have picked out:

Boy: Gavin James
** My brother's name is James and he will likely be godfather

Girl: Molly Kay
**My mom's name is Mary Kay, and Molly is a diminutive/pet name of Mary

Any comments, opinions, suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance!

I love your daughter's name. I've always loved the name Morgan but I wouldn't be able to use it

Gavin James Zelesski - To me Gavin is such a cute name and very handsome. When I hear the name Gavin I think of a friend of mine who is a year younger than me, he is really nice, sweet, funny, and smart. So that name has a "good reputation" with me. James is common(and my friend's middle name) but I think it flows well with it. Also, sometimes it's hard to find a first name that sounds good with your last name but I think Gavin Zelesski sounds really good! Morgan Rae & Gavin James Zelesski make a cute sib-set.

Molly Kay Zelesski - I think the name Molly is simple yet cute. I like it a lot more than Holly. Molly Kay sounds really cute and Molly Kay Zelesski sounds good as well; but Molly Zelesski just doesn't sound right to me. I think it is the L sound in Mo-LL-y and Ze-L-esski and the E sound Moll-EE- Zeless-KEE-. I will try to think of some other suggestions and get back to you!

Gavin James Zelesski sounds nice together! With your last name too It's not my style, but it's okay. Gavin and Morgan sound fine as sibsets.

Molly Kay Zelesski sounds nice too. I currently like Molly, not sure why. But it's a cute way to honor her gramma!
