I love thinking of baby names, especially girls. I like Lilianna or Lillyanna. Ellianna is nice, but since you have an ella, that may not be a good one for you. I also like Jillian, Rayanna, and Reilene, Marlow is another one that's a favorite of mine. I also like to take last names of family, like some of my ancestors, Ranson, Duffin, you get the idea. LOL I could go on, but I hope you find just the perfect name. Just don't use mine, even I don't like it lol

I named my daughter Amaya (a-my-a)Rose. I knew her middle name was going to be rose (it's a name that has been in my family, named after my Great grandmother, it happens to be my middle name too, So I had to find something to fit it. I searched through 3 baby name books, and the only one her fahter and I agreed upon was Amaya. I wasn't even too keen on it at first, but now it definitely fits her. These are the other names I considered... Khaila (ky-la), Iviana, and Khailana. Now if I were to have a nother child and it were a girl, I would name her Thalia Skye. You could also use my name T. (but if you want to spell it correctly, it's Tiana)!!!

Then we put them in a litle bag and let my 2 year old son pick a piece of paper and that's how we came up with the choice of our daughter's name. Which is Emily Jane.

I must say I really like Mallory. It's not that common, as I have already meet a few Maeve's on the play ground. If it will help you make your decision, check out the social security website. they have a list of the top 1000 names each year from the late 1800's on. So you can see what's popular today, or what was popular the year you were born, or the year you parents were born. It's kinda of neat and a great resource for names.

To find my daughters name we used another search engine that even helped with syllables, and country of origin.

I absolutely love the name Maeve! If my son was a girl that was the name i was leaning towards..my husband wasn't too keen on it and we settled on Mae if he were a girl. I love the simplicity of Mae. I also like Ruby and for something a bit different, Mireille (pronounced Meer-ay).

*Edit*--I just re-read my response and put 2 & 2 together and realized your name is M., so I am not quite sure how you would feel about Mireille...I wanted to add another name...Sophie...it is an antique, sweet name...

Congratulations! I see you have gotten alot of responses.
I had a name for my daughter until I had a dream and renamed her (before her birth). The name was Autumn. Its such a cozy, warm name. I know the season is cold, but you think of hot cocoa and warm sweaters and the colors red, orange and yellow.

I have 3 children and my oldest is Alexis Margarite. She is named after my grandmother who passed.
After her my husband and I decided to do the alphabet method. Our son is Brenden and our youngest is Cassandra Jane.

I hope this helps. Maybe you will have to wait until she is born to name her. You do have that option. Good Luck! : )

I had to write because when I read your name choices, I giggled, not because they were funny, but because my daughters name is Rylee Grace, how ironic!! I think it is a beautiful name and because her last name is Irish it suits her and it suits her personality. If your husband doesn't agree with the names have him roll it around for a while, listen to what it sounds like when it is said, even a name that sounds weird to someone else may be perfect for the one it is given to.

I've always been partial to Kaiya (pronounced with a long "I" sound)...so I named my daughter that.

My husband and I had pretty much settled on Aiden for her but when I told people about it, I got a very negative response from people in general. I didn't want her to get that negative response so we went back to the drawing board. My husband really liked Kai. I added the "ya" to make it more feminine but we call her Kai a lot. We tried it out on some people and we got a much better response.

Believe me, I'd love to say it doesn't matter what other people think but when someone actually looked at me with a miserable face and said "don't name her thaaaat", it got to me and I didn't want her to have to deal with that either.

If you like it great, if not, I hope you find something you love as much as I love Kaiya.

Maeve is an old Irish classic! We chose one ourselves...Cassidy Marin. I was named J. after a song off of "The White Album" and 'Cassidy' is a Grateful Dead song. Mae was in the running, as was Savannah, Margaret, and Lily. It's tough when you and your spouse dont agree! Good Luck!

We had no trouble when it was time to pick names out for a girl, thank God that is what we had...because we were still arguing over boys names when I was in labor...We named our daughter who will be 2 on Sept 8, Kierra Dacey. I absolutely love that name...and not many others will have this name. I am now pregnant again, and we have a boys name picked out and are arguing over a girls name...I hope that this means that we are having a boy...hehe

Let's see... sweet names... I was looking for a cute, sweet name when our second daughter was on her way- I'm trying to think of the names we were coming up with!
I liked, Rachel, Hannah, Louisa, Charlotte, Emily Rose and
Gracie May.
We went with Eloise Anne. We call her Ellie. She is very sweet and adorable- just like her name!
Good luck with your search!

I agree with Leah, we picked out Abigail and when she came out we both said she doesn't look like an Abigail and it took us over 24 hours but my father in law looked at her and said "she's a Molly" and that was it...and she is a molly too and just turned 3. I also think the names you picked are very trendy, which you may want to stay away from...just a thought

I combed a zillion books - we picked by meaning and sound - some books will list them under "feel" - like "romantic names" - "all american" - etcetera - sorry I can't recommend a specific one - also websites to pick - I think babyzone. the names you picked are lovely but I understand about your husband - my husband and I decided through compromise which meant not his favorite or mine but names we both liked - Isabella Mia (Bella Mia - consecrated to God - my beauty)
and Giovanna Emilia (God is gracious - initials GEM). when I read your request the name that came to mind was Zoe (life) - I think Lily and Lillian also fall under this meaning - Good luck - can't wait to see what you choose - I'm sure it will be lovely.

answers from Philadelphia on

My only advise is to keep it simple unless you want to correct people for the rest of your life and have your child do that too on how to pronounce the name and also spell the name. I have been lucky enough to have three little girls come into my life and their names are Melody - not too hard to spell normally - but everyone calls her Melanie - which is a beautiful name but Melody is 10 and gets quite offended because her name is Melody, not Melanie. Her two sisters are Kayleigh and Maegan, 8 - which their names can be spelled about ten different ways. Their teachers can't get it right - everyone mispells the names, no one can pronounce them properly. The girls always point it out. I say stay with a classic name - I think it makes life for your child more enjoyable and they don't start out always correcting their name with people. Hey, you normally only have one name in life. It is very difficult to choose. You'll find one that fits your baby. Congratulations and best of luck to you and your family.

Nice choices, but if most people are like me, I don't know how to pronounce Maeve. Pick that name only if you are willing to correct people (and put your daughter in a position of always correcting people as she gets older)who see it written before they know how to pronounce her name.
