    Help with a girls name

    Help! We are expecting our baby girl this week and still haven't decided on a name. We have two boys, and choosing their names was so easy... now for a girl, we can't agree. Our boys are Ronan and Fletcher. So far our girls name is narrowed down to:

    Darby
    Ainsley
    Temperance
    Keely

    Opinions? Ideas? Our surname has 2 "s" sounds, so names like Summer, Savannah etc don't sound that nice with it

    Ainsley is pretty but i think that she might get picked on at school later on in life with an*sly.

    Darby is nice but sounds like a horse or horse racing as in Derby day

    Temperance - never heard such a name. Too long

    Keely is nice

    Ronan, Fletcher and Keely

    That's my opinion. But you can have an name you want of course.

    Hey Lee_bee - I think Temperance is a really neat name. I love those old "virtue" names. That one is very unusual these days!
    Try Nymbler, maybe, for some other ideas if you're running stuck. (google it )

    I like Ainsley and Keely the best. I hadn't thought of kids calling Ainsley Anusly though. I went to school with an Ainsly who wasn't called that.

    LOL! I wondered what the deal was with your thread title... I thought, surely she can't call her kid that?!? PMSL!
    I like Ainsley, Temperance and Keely. Not as fond of Darby.
    [TB, I know an Ainsley too, and she never got teased either.]
    Temperance is the name of the main character in Kathy Reichs' books - I LOVE those books, and love the character (the TV show is SO lame in comparison, LOL!) so that name's a winner for me. And I like the shortened form, Tempe, as well.
    GL with making your decision!

    I really like Keely - I think it goes best with your boy's names.
