Thanks Yas and Kelsie! I really like Everly Sage, Georgia Daisy, and Sophia Quinn (or Quinn Sophia! ♥)


WDYT of the spelling Everleigh? If the name would have a simpler, shorter middle name (like Sage)?

I like the spelling Everleigh especially with a short middle name like Sage.

Rowyn Lily - I wasn't sure how to pronounce Rowyn at first. Even with this spelling, it seems very masculine to me. However, I do like it paired with a girlier middle name.
Cambrie Sophia - Really pretty! Not my style but still nice.
Annaleigh Chase - Not my style, but it's pretty.

Of your older names, my favorites are Alannah June and Heidi Alana.

Alannah June/Finley (nn "Lani")? - Defnitely Alannah June, though I think June Alannah is prettier
Heidi Alana - Love Heidi
Rowyn Lily - I like Lily in the middle. Prefer Rowan to Rowyn
Shiloh Everly/Georgia?
- I like Georgia Shiloh
Sawyer Daisy - Like Daisy in the middle, but think the masculine-sounding (to me at least) Sawyer really clashes with uber-fem Daisy
Roxanna Claire - LOVE THIS ONE. My favorite on your list.
Lana Roxanne/Schuyler? - Definitely Lana Roxanne. Even though I know some Schuylers/Skylers, and I know how to pronounce them, my first instinct when I see Schuyler is "Shooler".
Annaleigh Chase - Just gonna say it, Annaleigh/Annalee always reminds me of an innappropriate word... the one with Annalee with only 1 "n" and.... You get the picture.
Colbi Alana - Colby in any form makes me think of cheese. I do like Alana a lot more than Alannah, though.


Suggestions:
June Roxanna - June is very prim and Roxanna really isn't, but I think they match well.
Georgia Roxanne - same as above pretty much. Prim in the front, party in the back.
Alanna Claire - just think it sounds nice.
Nathalia Lily - think these two go together really well too.
Daisy Adriana - Also really like Daisy Adrina.
Lana Shiloh - sort of unnexpected. Just like it.

Really loving Georgia Roxanne and Daisy Adriana!! ♥


Probably should have mentioned it before, but I'd like to stick to the spelling "Alannah," because it's the traditional Irish spelling of "Alana" and I'm big on Irish heritage Just seems to have a softer, more graceful feel? To me anyway.

Ok, so in my last post you guys helped me A LOT in discovering new, updated names for my girls list. Now, I'm just SO overwhelmed, I know it sounds silly, but I can't decide! I need suggestions for these few new favorites of mine!

Major contendors:
Quinn Sofia/Sophia
Georgia Roxanne
Everleigh Sage?


I really like Everleigh Sage, but I'd just like to see what else is "out there" that would fit with the spelling, Everleigh.
WDYT of...
Everleigh Rae
Everleigh Quinn
Everleigh Chase
Everleigh Sofia
Everleigh Dale (to honor Daddy )
Everleigh Cate (not really into the more classic or "mainstream" names such as Kate, Katherine, etc, but it may work!)
Everleigh Wynne
Everleigh Jude
Everleigh Mae

or Tegan Everly?

Any and ALL help is greatly appreciated!!

I've taken French for 7 years now and every French textbook I've ever had has always had the prettiest names and pronounciations! I've got the accent down so the names sound so pretty when I say them over and over again. I'm in my second year of college now though, and this book has gotten pretty clever in naming people. What are your thoughts/opinions on these??

Sophie
Isabelle (pron. "ees-ah-belle")
Marie-Claire
Sophie-Marie
Micheline (pron. Meesh-e-lene)
Annick (pron. An-eek)
Fabienne (pron. Fab-ee-enne)
Marie-Hélène (pron. Hale-enne)
Lucie (pron. Lucy)
Marie-Louise
Alaire
Laetitia ("Lay-tis-ee-ah)
Lille (pron. "Leel," is actually a place in France but sooo pretty!!)

Laurent (pron. "Laur-ont;" the name of a place and a French surname, but seems like it could go either way!)

Jean
Jean-Lúc
Yves (pron. "Eve)
Loïc (pron. Lo-ik)
Éric (pron. Ay-reek)
Christophe ("Creest-off")
Stéphane (pron. Stay-fahn)
Lúc
Phillippe ("Phil-eep")

Nicolas (pron. Neekole-ah)
Sebastièn
Adrièn
Jacques
Victoire

Loïc (pron. Lo-ik)

Sophie - LOVE Sophie <3
Isabelle (pron. "ees-ah-belle") - I always pronounce Isabelle like this, tbh. Its the way I love it! Its also why Isabel is always only a middle name for me <3
Marie-Claire - cute!
Sophie-Marie - love
Micheline (pron. Meesh-e-lene) - its nice
Annick (pron. An-eek) - pretty
Fabienne (pron. Fab-ee-enne) - don't care for it
Marie-Hélène (pron. Hale-enne) - nice
Lucie (pron. Lucy) - I prefer Lucy <3
Marie-Louise - don't care for it
Alaire - pretty
Laetitia ("Lay-tis-ee-ah) - just not my style
Lille (pron. "Leel," is actually a place in France but sooo pretty!!) - love

Laurent (pron. "Laur-ont;" the name of a place and a French surname, but seems like it could go either way!) - like
Jean -nice
Jean-Lúc - handsome
Yves (pron. "Eve) - I would like it on a girl
Loïc (pron. Lo-ik) - I really like!
Éric (pron. Ay-reek) - nice
Christophe ("Creest-off") - like
Stéphane (pron. Stay-fahn) - nice
Lúc - handsome
Phillippe ("Phil-eep") - like

Nicolas (pron. Neekole-ah) - like
Sebastièn - don't care for
Adrièn - nice
Jacques - hehe love
Victoire - I thought this was a girls name? :o I've had it on my girls list...

Loïc (pron. Lo-ik) - its also above, hehe! But still love!


I love a lot of french names, honestly! In french class, I had the name Evelyne [ehv-leen]. We all got to pick our own french names hehe! I'm half french actually, and french was the only language my father knew until he was five and went to school. Poor guy went to school not knowing a word of english :l But I've considered using a french name to honor my french heritage, and I know Mike is also part french. I know my father gave me a french middle name to honor it as well. And my mother chose an Italian name to honor the Italian I have from her. So I've been thinking about using french names to honor it... but eh. I've been choosing names based off of how they sound when I say them out loud, regardless of ethnicity. Though thankfully Mike is also pretty Irish, so I can use Irish names and not feel bad about it :')

I'm French :wub: I took French all throughout school and usually, I wouldn't have anything to do in class. So I would help the other students and mostly read random articles in the textbooks. For some reason, I would always pay attention to the names! I love a LOT of names that honour my heritage. From your list, these are my favourites:


Sophie

Isabelle

Marie-Claire

[Hélène]

Lucie

Marie-Louise - My mother's middle name!


I do prefer Victoire on a girl.



Laurent


Jean

Eric

Christophe

Luc

Nicolas

Sebastien

Adrien

Jacques



Here's a few more I love:

Adèle

Adrienne

Amélie

Anaïs

Aurélie

Aurore

Brigitte

Céline

Christiane

Colette

Corinne

Diane

Éléonore

Élise

Élodie

Éloïse

Émilie

Geneviève

Inès

Joséphine

Julie

Juliette

Laure

Laurence

Madeleine

Margaux

Marguerite

Marianne

Marine

Mathilde

Nathalie

Noémie

Odette

Pénélope

Renée

Sylvie

Thérèse

Valentine

Zoé


Alexandre

Christian

Gabriel

Gaston

Henri

Julien

Léon

Louis

Matthieu

Noel

Olivier

Pierre

Théodore

Tristan

Xavier


I will, more than likely, give my children French first or middle names.

It's important for me to honour that part of my heritage.

Quinn Sofia/Sophia - I like Quinn Sophia best. In general, I do like the spelling Sofia, but for some reason, I think Sophia looks nicer with Quinn.
Georgia Roxanne - I like it. Georgia is lovely. Roxanne is not my favorite, but it's spunky and compliments Georgia nicely.
Everleigh Sage - Not my style, but still a very nice combo.

Everleigh Rae
Everleigh Quinn
Everleigh Chase
Everleigh Sofia
Everleigh Dale
Everleigh Cate
Everleigh Wynne
Everleigh Jude
Everleigh Mae

Everleigh Quinn and Everleigh Cate are my favorite combos.

Tegan Everly - I'm not a fan of Tegan... it sounds like a boys' name to me. Still, this combo is really nice and has a great flow.

Out of your "Everleigh" choices I really liked


Everleigh Rae, Everleigh is such a long name and paired with Rae just sounds/looks really sweet.
Everleigh Sofia, this combination is very pretty.
Everleigh Cate, I really like this spelling of Cate (I'm trying to find a first name for it a.t.m.) and paired with Everleigh makes it even prettier.

The other options were also pretty, these were just my favorites. :) Good luck.

I have to pretty much re-invent BOTH lists because something happened to my computer where it ruined my profile and now I have nothing :wacko:

Berlin:
Anyway, I was watching L.A. Ink last night and one girl came into the shop and wanted a tattoo for her two daughters, Raven and Berlin (pron. like the German city, "berLIN - with extra stress on the "LIN"). The name Berlin for a little girl really peaked my interest :P What do you think of the sib-set? Also, what are your opinions on the name? Since I have to re-make my lists anyway...I like Berlin Sophie, Berlin Ava, and Berlin Natalie. Other middle name suggestions?

Preston:
I've been into liking Preston for a little girl as well. Maybe with a very feminine middle name? Preston Sofia, Preston Ava, Preston Katia, and Preston Natalee.

What do you think?? Please and thank you!! ♥

Berlin: I actually think its really cute!!! Its not a name I'd really use. But I do like Lin names, and Berlin just flows nicely off the tongue! I'm not sure if Berlin the place is a great association though, which is why I wouldn't use it. Idk. I suppose its not the worst place to be named after, but in general I don't care for the association. As for the sibset Raven and Berlin... its nice. The names do go together.. I just don't love it. :) As for middle names... I do like the ones you have. But here are more..
Berlin Cadence
Berlin Annmarie
Berlin Tamara
Berlin Olive
Berlin Elissa
Berlin Faye
Berlin Haven
Berlin Rory
Berlin Vera

Preston: I don't care for this name on either gender, to be honest. But if its on a girl, I'd definitely use a very girly middle name. Preston Ava is pretty!
Preston Vivienne
Preston Briar
Preston Therese
Preston Isabel
Preston Georgia

I hope this helps! ♥ Though I'm sorry your computer did that to ya :l I make it a point to save my namelist on more than one place, ie BNG and FB and such. So then no matter what I at least have my list somewhere. Its not always the most recent version of it, but its not hard to add more. Plus I tend to write them out on paper as well.. like when I'm bored at work :rolleyes: so I tend to never forget them haha!

Also though! Off topic, but does anyone else have an issue with pressing backspace after writing things? Or enter? Because I'll misstype things then press backspace and instead of erasing the letter(s) I wanted to it backspaces my entire line. So example: the paragraphs I have now wouldn't have a space in between them if I backspace. Well, it doesn't every single time.. but a lot of the times. And when I'm writing out lists of names.. if I press enter after writing a name to put another name in the next line under it wonks up too! Example: if I press enter after Preston Isabel to write Preston Georgia, it would put Preston Isabel down to the line Preston Georgia is currently in and leave a space between Preston Isabel and Preston Therese. :( Its been doing this every time I post...

Thanks Remy! I really like Berlin Haven, Berlin Rory, Preston Ava and Preston Briar :)

And YES!! I've been having the same problems with entering and backspacing...I just tried to copy and past some of my names from past posts to re-do my lists and it kept doing that when I was trying to move some names around to order them differently. So I gave up for now. :/
