We are loving the name Franklin for a boy and I'm not looking for opinions on the name. My question is, how would you spell his nickname? I always thought of Franky as the boy spelling and Frankie as feminine but looking around the internet people seem to think it's weird with a -y and should be Frankie for either gender. Which way seems more masculine to you?

We're thinking of middle names and whether we really need one. I've heard from some people that it was to honour family members whose names they didn't like enough for a first name or because it was Jr. or something and needed to be distinguished from the father. Some others have said they gave their maiden name as their kids' middle names because they didn't change their name after marriage and didn't want difficulties when travelling or with schools or government offices. And then the vast majority have said "because everyone else does" or because they thought they had to because everyone else does. So my question is, why/how did you pick your kid's middle name? Do I really need to give my kid a middle name? Is there a reason to it other than just "everyone does it"? Want some opinions outside my immediate family/friends. Thanks! ~Eva

Jesse, Rory, and ?

We are expecting our second child. We love the name Hallie...pronounced to rhyme with Callie or Allie vs Haylie. How would you pronounce the name spelled "Hallie"? Thanks! The W Family

Which name for Katherine and Matthew's sister? Thanks.

Help choose, please.

We're the Carroll family, welcoming our second daughter. I have always wanted a daughter named Sharon, but I don't know if it flows with Carroll. They both have prominent "air" sounds in them. After hearing the name Sharinda, we fell in love with it. Sharinda Carroll seems to solve all of our problems! What would you use as a middle name? Also, is Sharinda a good name?

I love the name Corinna for a girl! I pronounce it like "Cor-Rihn-uh" (short I sound). However, do you think that the name Corinne "Cor-Rihn" is a nicer name? For the middle name, I love Corinna Elise or Corinne Leah. Thanks, everyone!

Avianna needs a middle name. Paula/Ellen are family names, Polly is an alternative to Paula.

Pronounced Sir-Sea. I really like this name but worried too many people will make the reference from Game of Thrones, which yea I'll admit that's where I first heard it. Would you use it? Open to middle name suggestions too!

We love Phoebe for our little girl but really struggling with middle name ideas! What middle name would you pair with Phoebe? Thank you.

We want to use a Hawaiian girls name for our baby. Which one do you like? Suggestions welcome. Thank you!
