I like Corrine, Kaley, Laine, and Reyna.

Have you considered Athena instead of Athen?

thank you, i prefer Athen actually. i dont know why, i like the sound better, but i think some people might think it's Ethan, or that it's a boys name

Yeah...I thought people might think that, but I personally think it's cute for a girl. I have the same problem. My name is Ashton, and I'm a girl. I get that problem a lot...not so much now that I'm older, but I had surgery when I was seven. I walked into the hospital with a long ponytail and a pink bow wearing a Disney Princess shirt and carrying a Care Bear blanket. The nurse that met me proceeded to put me in a wheelchair and take me to my room. Only when we got there did she "remember" that it was all boys room, and I was a girl.

Love:
Adara- It's fun, spunky and beautiful. I do prefer Adira or Adair, but Adara is lovely as well!
Athen- I love this! I think it's a nice alternative to Athena (which I also love). I think this would work well as a middle.
Corrine- Love, love Corrine, I do prefer the official French spelling, Corinne, but it's gorgeous!
Reyna- Love!!! I think Reyna Athen, Reyna Petra or Reyna Corrine, would definitely be my top three and I think would fit best with Ayla.

(If Kaley is prnc. 'Kah-lee' I love it, if it's prnc. 'Kay-lee' I don't like it)
Like:
Blair- Personal favorite middle name of mine, I hope to use for a daughter one day
Laine- Love it's short, sweet and simple feel it has.
Landry- Not my personal first choice, but it's cute, better as a MN in my opinion.
Petra- Lovely, beautiful and so elegant, I just like other choices better, however it'd be stunning as a middle!
Sasha- I like it, but I don't love it

Don't like:
Havana- Not a fan... I like Yavana though
Shawnee- Just sounds to boyish and/or like a NN for Shawn
Tristan- Don't like it for a boy and just not a fan, but it's okay
Vanna- I don't like, I just am not a fan, it could work okay though as a NN
Kendra- Just not fond of the name, I think it's to dated imo
Dani- To Nicknamy for me, an I am just not a fan of Danielle/Dani

Suggestions:
Desta
Galitea
Avonlea
Elodie
Alona
Athalia
Freya
Esme
Eulalia/Eulalie
Alethea
Diana
Cora
Aveline
Avalon
Marigold
Amalia
Edan
Hartley/Hartlee
Darcy
Abilene
Lillias
Althea

thank you for the suggestions and feedback. glad you like Athen! and i really like some of your suggestions, like Alona, Athalia, and Aveline. aaaahh this is so hard! so many names that i like!

 

one thing i was wondering was if i had two daughters with names that begin with A (for example, Ayla and Athen) would it be weird if future children names didnt start with A? maybe i'm reading into it too much, but whatever.

[ashtona731]

I think it's fine. I've known people that accidentally set a trend and feel obligated to follow it, but it doesn't really matter. If you love a name, use it.

[AnneeV]

With Ayla, I like Petra or Reyna.

Good luck!

Glad you liked those! I love Aveline especially! And I know how you feel! I think taking the names you like and keeping them as a list before she is born is best. Then when she's born you can look over the list and pick whichever one fits her best

And I don't think it would be weird! I think it'd be fine if they weren't all the same letter

I like Sasha best.
