    Re: First Name Help Please

    Ridley? Seriously? I think Dylan is a lovely name, for a girl or a boy it also sounds nice with Laura or Laurence.

    Other variations of Laura are Laurel or Lori.

    Most definitely put LAURA as a middle name ... if you don't use Laura at all or even alternate the name you may very well regret it in the future.

    I wanted to name my only child a girl, her middle name after my much loved sister and i almost looked at an alternative but as my DP & i agreed if we are to name her after someone who means the world to us & we greatly love than why change the spelling of the name because that special person has one name spelt one way and it's ' their ' name ... so i am so very glad i never changed the spelling or alternated the name anyway as i feel it wouldn't have the same or felt as special when it's actually the person you want to name your child after (hope that all made sense ).

    The name Laura is incredibly important to you and there is a world out there full of names to be your DD's first name ... but there is only one Laura as a middle name ... so in saying that you will find a first name to go with Laura

    I think to use the name Laura as a first name might be a little strange but that's just me ... but as a middle name most certainly.

    Have you considered both Laura Paige as middle names (my DD has two middle names but then her surname is a short) but would it bother you seeing your surname is a long one ??

    I think the first name would look better with no more than 5 letters.

    Adele Laura
    Elise Laura
    Erin Laura

    ... i like Brooklyn's suggestions of Brea (Bree) and Shae .... and Feebs' suggestion of Nina

    Yeah good point about regrets later. We gave our DS the middle name of Michael after DH's favourite uncle who passed away. His real name was Mihai (Romanian) but he changed it to Mike when he moved to Canada, and now we kind of wish we'd gone with his real name (more unique and meaningful)

    Because our last name is so long DH wants first and middle names to be short (he agrees with 5 letters or less) and though I don't mind 2 middle names he thinks that is just too much. I LOVE the name Elise but DH does not.

    Ugh, why is this so hard?
