I have some new names to throw at you guys xD
Tell me what you think!

Ayden Christopher
Elisha Benjamin
Emerson Sawyer
Cillian Chase (Ian)
Benjamin Grayson (Benji)
Elisha Patric Quinn

Maylene Isabella (May)
Ashley Ella Jade
Evelyn Olivia
Evelyn Quinn
Olivia Abigail
Jade Olivia
Jade Abigail
Molly Adalyn

I got Nick to go though all the single girls names I had and give me his favorites, middle names only names, and names he wasn't sure of, so there may be more names to pop up since I have his preferences for both genders

[brittany111]

Ayden Christopher - Ilike it, i perfer Aiden but name wise it's a winner
Elisha Benjamin - Elisha to me is all female. I like Benjamin however
Emerson Sawyer - love it!
Cillian Chase (Ian)- I'm not sure about the first name, but i like Ian Chace
Benjamin Grayson (Benji) - Benji is so cute! i like both names, im not sure i perfer them together. i like Benjamin Chase or Ian Grayson though
Elisha Patric Quinn - hm i still not sure about Elisha on a boy, esp with Quinn also being so unisex. Patric Quinn is cute though

Maylene Isabella (May)- Hmm how about Isabella May?
Ashley Ella Jade- love this
Evelyn Olivia - the two L sounds are really close, but they are both really pretty names
Evelyn Quinn - nms
Olivia Abigail - this is great! two beautiful names
Jade Olivia - my favourite, love Jade!
Jade Abigail- close second!
Molly Adalyn i like this alot!

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

I forgot to add that when I'm saying Elisha, I'm pronouncing it as ee-LYE-shuh.
Not some new fangled, creative way to spell Alicia.

And thanks!
I got a ton of negative feedback on nameberry. Nothing but negative pretty much.
I'm a bit ill over it, though I shouldn't be.
Yet there are MUCH nicer ways to say you don't like MY names than what I got.
#######s.......

[brittany111]

i dont understand why anyone would give mostly negative feedback! you have great names and combos on your list!
people can be so rude! i agree, if you dont like the name it doesnt give you the right to rubbish it out, Don't be disheartned, you have a great list! When it all comes down to it as long as you like it thats all that counts! but i really do think you have beautiful names up ther

oh Elisha---kinda like Elijah?( forgive my ignorance where i am i havnt heard the name ..only elijah wood )

[Meghan<3]

Your names are nice! Don't worry, I get negative feedback on Nameberry too. People are just generally nicer on BNG.

Ayden Christopher - I agree; I prefer the spelling Aiden, but it's still a really handsome combo!
Elisha Benjamin - Elisha is NMS (I probably would have pronounced it like Alicia if you hadn't mentioned the pronounciation) but I love it with Benjamin.
Emerson Sawyer - NMS, but handsome!
Cillian Chase - I definitely prefer this spelling to Killian. The C makes it seem softer and friendlier .
Benjamin Grayson - I love both names. I prefer the nickname Ben to Benji, but it's okay.
Elisha Patric Quinn - NMS, but okay.

Maylene Isabella - I'm not a fan of Maylene, but May is such a cute nickname.
Ashley Ella Jade - Love it! So pretty.
Evelyn Olivia - I'm not a fan of vowel - vowel combos. Still, Evelyn is gorgeous!
Evelyn Quinn - Love!
Olivia Abigail - Again with the vowel - vowel thing... still nice though.
Jade Olivia - Love!
Jade Abigail - Love!
Molly Adalyn - Cute!

Good luck!

Thanks! It just irritates me. Didn't their mom's tell them that if they didn't have something nice to say, to not say anything at all? lol
I complained to my husband and bless his heart, he got defensive and made me feel better

And Elisha is kind of like Elijah. Elijah has a hard J sound when I pronounce it, and when I've heard it in church.
I had originally wanted to use Elijah, but when I started looking up pronunciations, I realized I was pronouncing it wrong :/
I honestly was confused when everyone on nameberry was telling me that Elisha was for a girl.
I was like, " Are they smoking crack?"
Then one person wanted to give me a speech about not using Elisha and just use Elijah since no one pronounces it right, and they say it like Elisha is pn over here :|They'd never heard Elisha as I had said it was pn...blah blah... Seriously?
I live in the South here in the US, and we're pretty big on the Bible. Let's not cross that line

Jade Olivia - Love!

Molly Adalyn - Cute!

And thanks as well! people are FAR friendlier here. Screw Nameberry lol!
I think I've always been against the name Ben. I don't know why. Maybe in Benjamin's case is because Benjamin is such an adorable name, but everyone automatically shortens it to Ben...plus it reminds me of The Secret Life of the American Teenager.... o_O
Maylene is one of the hubs guilty pleasures, and it's challenging to get a name that works with it. So, I toss it in here and there.
I also def. prefer the spelling Cillian over Killian. All I see when I look at Killian is Kill Ian. Why am I going to kill Ian? What did Ian do to me? LOL The C does make it softer <3

I've noticed I tend to have a lot of names that have alliteration or vowel to vowels in them.
It seems like the vowels make the names flow better to me, especially since my surname starts with the "sh" sound.

Thanks again! And sorry for that mini rant up there too
It's the wrong time for rude people this month....

[PaperHeart]

I like Aiden/Aidan/Aden, but not Ayden.
Ayden Christopher is a really lovely combo though. Probably one of my favourite boy names of yours.

Benjamin Grayson is the only other combination I like off of your boy list.
I do love Emerson, Sawyer and Quinn, but not in their respective combos.


As for the girls, Ashley Ella Jade is okay.. a little bland but that's just me and my quirky style.

I really like Jade Abigail ... and Molly Adalyn {Though I prefer Adeline} is BEAUTIFUL!

Mm. I do like Isabella, Evelyn, Olivia and Quinn. What about Olivia Quinn or Molly Evelyn?




PS. Elisha, where I come from, is a popular male name around the ages of 50+. It's the name of a prophet in the Hebrew bible.
And we DO say it like Alicia with an "E".
To me, it has more of a feminine sound, but that's because I think "Elisha Cuthbert".

Can I ask.. how do you pronounce Elijah? Maybe I've been saying it wrong this whole time!

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

How about Ella Catherine

[Meghan<3]

How about Ella Catherine

I love it!

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

I'm going to have a book before long.
Well, outside of the notebook I have
There's was another one I came up with when I came up with Ella Catherine.
I just don't remember it and my notebook is in the kitchen
I'm too lazy to get up and go get it. lol!

thank you!

I like Ella Catherine.
It's an elegant classic! But for me, personally, it just doesn't have that slight spark that I feel Molly Adalyn or Jade Abigail have. It's a little... bland?
That sounds rude.. but it's not how I meant it! I'm just never very good at explaining myself..

Also, since you like this one, what about Molly Catherine, Emma Catherine or May Catherine?

I completely understand what you're talking about.
That's why I reject so many pretty name combos.
They're GORGEOUS, just plain. I don't like plain (take a look at my son's name lol!)

I like all three of those!, but I love Molly Catherine

Hahah, yeah, Aasyn's name is definitely not plain!

I have to admit though, I still love Molly Adalyn better...

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

I don't want my kids to blend in with everyone else
<3 I've always been one to thrive on being different.
Maybe I'm weird

That other name was Emma Ella-Jade
I think it's cute <3 and Nick likes it.
But who knows lol

[PaperHeart]

It doesn't mean your weird at all!
It's understandable.

I don't tend to like combinations that begin with the same letter... especially ones that have the same sound.
Emma & Ella are too close for me to be used together, but to each his own.

I actually prefer Emma Eliza-Jade, Emily Erin-Jade or Emma Elisabeth-Jade, myself.

It'll probably sit in my notebook and not be used.
I want to keep the Ella Jade, but it seems like it's too short.
I can't think of anything to go with it.

And I'd use Elisabeth, but that's already Hayleigh's middle name <3
Not sure if I want to use it again and make that a little pattern or anything.

Oh yeah! I totally forgot... -doeee.. face palm-


Mm. Ella Jade on it's on is cute!
If you like Jade, what about Jada or Jodie?

It is, but it seems so plain to me

I'm not too fond of Jodie, but I might try Jada.
I'm worried about going any further with Jade since my nephew's name is Jayden and my sister in law is a freaking psycho.
I can hear her nagging now about names being too close to Jayden.
Nick had thought about using the name Hayden, but ..you see the issue?
I seriously can't stand her

I'm also thinking about throwing Grace into my list of middle names.
I went against using it for Hayleigh since my sister and her husband have it set for a girls FIRST name if they have kids.
So according to my family, that's my sister's name
but whatever. I'm never going to call my daughter Grace so, I'm going to try to mix it in with some names

Oh, that's annoying! And Hayden's lovely.
She sounds like such a lovely, considerate, accommodating person.... -rolls eyes-
Maybe call her Jada and use Jason or Jordan for a boy, just to wee her off?

Sorry, that's mean... -cough-

I actually love Grace as a first name.
But it's a lovely middle name too!

there wasn't enough sarcasm in that comment.
She would win the worst parent award with no contest.
I hate going over there.

I'll jot all these names down.
In the end it seems the names I fall in love with, the husband doesn't like (like Emilie Charlotte)
So I have to have them pass the husband test
