Okay, so I have been getting the names from before together... and wanted input on what I've got! <3

I am always unsure about middle names for Connor, so far I'm thinking Connor Dylan [cause Mike likes Dylan a lot and all], or maybe Connor Aiden... Aiden is so popular, but I love it anyways. So I'm gunna keep it as a middle name I think, cause its not like people go by their middle names all the time. If you have any other idea's as first names for Aiden, I am open! Cause I like Connor Aiden, but I kinda wanna keep Dylan, or maybe Jude... for Connor. So... middle names for Aiden? :)

Okay, so I really really like Lucian // Lucius lately!! I'm unsure which I like more though... any middle names or even first names for Lucian // Lucius would be lovely!!

I have gotten these combo's... new to the list <3 Alexander Gavin, Silas Calvin, and Zachary Breckin :wub:


So now, for girls names... I'm having a Elaina, Alaina, Alana battle :L I don't know which I like most! Cause I love Alana [uh-lawn-uh], but I also love Alaina [uh-lane-uh], and Elaina [elle-ay-na]. It's hard! Cause I just plain love Alana, its simple, cute, and girly! Like like like! But Alaina sounds slightly nicer, maybe. Hmm.. but then, Elaina looks gorgeous and has the nick name Ellie, so cute! I only like Lan as a nick name for Alana, I don't know if I'd have any nick names for Alaina, maybe Laney or something but idk. So yeah... I kinda love Alana slightly more, but i don't know... <3

For Olivia, so far I just Olivia Charlotte, Olivia Willow, or Olivia Cassandra?

Taylor... Taylor Anneliese, Taylor Alexandra, Taylor Amelia, Taylor Marley, or something... I can't find a middle name, or even a first name, that I LOVE with it though.

Lissa Taylor? I don't know for Lissa either.... I don't mind Alissa, but I really like Lissa. Hmm...


Thank you so much for any input!!

I listen to music almost all the time and write my own music every once in a while. <br /><br />Lastly: I would definitely rather be outdoors than in.

For me it was pretty much a tie between all three... but I voted for Alaina. I've always liked the name.

I had to vote Elaina, since that's what my baby girl is named and she arrives in ten sleeps :wub:

My husband wants to nickname her Ellie. I like Laine or Lainey as potential nicknames. I'm not picky if people pronounce it Eee-laina or Ah-laina,
although technically she will be Elaine-a.

So yeah its a big ELAINA for me :) IDK why, I just think it looks a bit more sophisticated and I know that Elaina is a character in a movie I've seen because I keep hearing it in my head but I can't figure out what movie. :wub:

Connor Dylan // Connor Aiden - I think I like Connor Dylan a bit more than Connor Aiden. Mostly because Dylan seems more substantial.

Lucian // Lucius - LUCIAN!!!! I can see Lucius being confused for Lucas way to often. :)


Lissa - Have you thought about Melissa? Or is it too similar to Marissa?

All three are very cute!
However, my favorites would be either Alaina or Elaina. (Probably Alaina)
A nick nick-name might Laina or Lainey.

I like Connor Jude best, although the other two are nice as well. How about: Connor William, Connor Adam, Connor Jade, Connor Seth or Connor Luke?

First names (and middle names) for Aiden: Samuel Aiden, Joshua Aiden, Micah Aiden, Henry Aiden, Parker Aiden, Joseph Aiden, Grayson Aiden, Matthew Aiden, Chandler Aiden, Aiden Parker, Aiden Miles, Aiden Will, Aiden Graham, Aiden Sawyer, Aiden Luke or Aiden Michael?

Over Lucian and Lucias, I like Lucian better. How about: Lucian John, Lucian Adam, Lucian Xavier, Lucian James, Lucian Parker, Lucian David or Lucian Wiley?

Olivia Charlotte would be my pick over the three. Might I suggest, Olivia Grace, Olivia Joy, Olivia Sage or Olivia Catherine?

Taylor Anneliese is cute! How about: Taylor Noelle, Taylor Sheridan, Taylor Camille, Taylor Denise or Taylor Quinn? Also, Lydia Taylor, Amanda Taylor, Macy Taylor, Jenna Taylor, Sarah Taylor, Samantha Taylor, Ivy Taylor, Catherine Taylor or Sylvie Taylor???


Sorry if I wasn't much help. Best of luck to you!

Two suggestions: Elena over Elaina - Elaine is my middle name and I don't have a problem with this spelling. I just think Elena looks a lot cleaner. Not much difference though, admittedly. Elena would be a 9/10 and Elaina an 8/10 for me. Alanna over Alana - This is so nitpicky of me but I feel I should point it out. Whenever I see Alana it just looks like "Alan + a" or I see it backwards as "anal + a". Kinda makes me dislike it. Alanna is a lottt better imo. Just a thought. Alaina is kinda meh to me strangely enougth. It feels like I'd want to say Al-ay-nuh. No idea why.

Connor Dylan 6/10, Connor Aiden 4/10.

Other suggestions: Connor Abel (keeps that hard 'A' from Aiden), Connor Sullivan (very Irish, which is something I like), Connor Graham (I usually don't suggest it but Connor is all hard sounds and I think it complements nicely with Graham's softness), Connor Rhys (May have too much R, but I think the flow is still decent).

Prefer Lucian. Ezra Lucian, Lucian Arthur, Lucius Warren/Warren Lucius, Damon Lucius (this one is kinda a joke. Sounds like the ultimate evil name), Clark Lucian (maybe get a goodguy name in there to balance)/ Lucian Clark, Elijah Lucian (both very soft names...), Lucian Oliver (I particularly like this one's flow). For the record, I'd rate Lucas a good 4+ points/10 more than Lucian/Lucius. They both make me think of I Love Lucy... And I agree with Katie. I'd get Lucas and Lucius confused.

Alexander Gavin, Silas Calvin, and Zachary Breckin - Love Silas and Zachary and Gavin is ok, but the combos and other names are nms.

Olivia Charlotte, Olivia Willow, or Olivia Cassandra - 4/10, okay but kinda plain; 6/10, pretty and nice flow; 5/10, prefer Cassandra over any of the other names but I think this is a bit long and dislike the same ending.

Taylor is nms, I really have no suggestions.

What about Elisa or Felicity with nn Lissa?

Thanks so much for all of these replies!!! Very much appreciated! <33

Zyx, thanks so much! (:

Thirdandfinal, aww thats so sweet, arriving so soon! But hehe, slight bias for you then ;) I don't care either, if it'd be said ee-laine-uh or uh-laine-uh, though I kinda say it more elle-ay-na, myself (: I love Ellie, and for Alana or Alaina people keep suggesting Allie but I just can't use that nick name ): So I feel like using either one might bring up that nick name or something, so Elaina seems safer.. but I still really really like the others as well! Lol such a dilemma!

Katie, I kinda have to agree, now that I think of it! :wub: Elaina does look more sophisticated! <3 Haha, when you think of the movie let me know! :) I'm kinda interested myself lol... <3
I suppose Connor Dylan does have more substance to it... (:
I never thought of that though... Lucius and Lucas kinda to look too alike, and I really wouldn't want those confused :/ I know a Luke, who kinda ruined the name for me personally... :L Lucian it is, then! (:
I've thought of Melissa, but it is much too close :/

Imaginationgirl, both Laina and Lainey are cute, and I like! Not sure if I'd want to spell it Lainey though, cause like, its as long as the name itself :L But I do prefer that spelling... does Lany, Laney, or Lainy, or maybe Lanie... no that last one doesn't work. Hmm....
For Connor, I ADORE the name William, mainly Liam, but Mike doesn't seem to like it as much ): He wont outright say it, but I can kinda tell.... I have Liam Ryder on my list, but he wasn't enthusiastic about it at all... oh well ): big bummer for me lol.
Seth is okay, though I'd love Jude more than that (: the only problem I have with Jude is the Jude The Obscure reference, which is such the depressing book! D:' Eeek! But Jude is still so handsome... hmmm..... <3
For Aiden, I like these names! Henry Aiden, Grayson Aiden, Matthew Aiden, Aiden Miles, Aiden Will, Aiden Sawyer, and Aiden Michael? Michael is perfect like, cause it'd honor Mike and all. But I already have it in the number 1 combo, Chase Ryan Michael (: Aiden Miles is handsome!! Like, I really like it!! And Matthew Aiden-- so handsome! I really love Henry Aiden!!!! The name Henry came to mind not that long ago... but I didn't actually think much of it more than Henry is handsome... lol. I really like Henry Aiden though!!! Or maybe Aiden Henry... I'm not sure yet. I do like Henry though <33
Lucian David and Lucian Wiley are handsome :)
And I really like Olivia Sage!!
Lydia Taylor and Katherine Taylor are both cute, don't know why I'm so picky about Taylor though :/

Mishada, I think if I saw Elena written down I would pronounce it elle-leen-uh, instead of elle-lay-nuh :/ It does look cleaner, but its like, kinda a different name to me ): Anal-a :OOOOO I never saw that! Hmm... I don't mind Alanna, but when looking at it it feels unbalanced :/ I can't really explain why, but for whatever reason it looks unbalanced in my mind! I do say Alaina is ah-lay-nuh though (:
I like Connor Abel, though Abel is a bit too biblical for me, with how religious my family is and all ): Connor Sullivan is nice! And very Irish! :) So they compliment each other...
Elisa is okay, Felicity not my style <3


Thanks soo sooo soo much all of you! All the input is greatly appreciated!! :)
