    Stuck with names....

    Ok. Bit of a struggle for names. We don't know what we are having yet. Probably will find out... Not sure.

    Struggling with names.

    DH wants Leland for a boy. I want Riley incorporated into his name somewhere.

    And for a girl I have no idea. I was thinking maybe

    Tahlia Jayde
    Or Taylah Jayde...

    I have no idea. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I think Leland Riley sounds lovely.
    Is Leland a family name or are you massive dog the bounty hunter fans?

    I love either of your girls name selections, but my preference is tahlia jayde.

    Have you considered Emma for a girl? :-P

    Just to make it difficult I like Riley Leland,

    For a girl I also like the same as Emma - Tahlia Jayde.

    Good luck with picking names

    I can't say I'm a fan of Leland but I do like Riley.

    I like both girl's names choices a lot but my pick would be Tahlia. I had Talia on my list for DD. I love Jayde for a middle name.

    Haha hun no need to be sorry lol I don't like Leland that much either lol I'm only putting it out there because DH wants it. If (and that's a BIG if!) We chose to have Leland somewhere in the name it'll be a middle name but riley is important to me as its my grandparents surname and since my nanna passed I've just thought I can use it in memory of her. Just a little piece of her in our baby...

    Keep the name suggestions coming
    DH is Daniel so that's out and I'm Melissa lol

    Don't you wish they came with a birth certificate a la Cabbage Patch Kids? lol

    My DH was adamant in suggesting Beau...until I realised Dukes of Hazzard was his favourite show ...but don't tell him that I'm actually coming around to it.

    Have you tried Nymbler? It's a name matching website.

    My cabbage patch kid was Valeska Eleanor. I love the name Eleanor, but at 2.5 pronouncing Valeska was tough. lol

    Tahlia Jayde is beautiful.

    I don't like Leland either. But Riley is a good name.

    Mine DH likes Xionel, and Jimmy (he's a big NASCAR fan) so it's been tough for me to come up with alternatives that he likes.

    I like Riley a lot for you though. Is there something similar to Leland you could suggest instead? I.e. Leighton?

    Does make you wonder who came up with the names. I can't remember my boy cabbage patch's name, but I re-christened him Morris William, which for some reason now makes me think of a corporation name??

    I'm going to go against everyone else and say i like Leland i knew one in high school who was a big goof so it might be association with the name and not so much the name itself though IYKWIM?

    Haha at the cabbage patch names! Mine was Lianne Helga. Their names are a lot more normal now though, my DD's is Bethany Ellen

    My mums 2nd husband has a niece called Tahlia and she's just gorgeous

    I wanted Katherine Jade for this bubba if it was a girl (and it is) but DH and I talked and had decided on another name, so that's free now
    Then there could be Alissa Jade, Bethany Jade or Hayley Jade.

    Names to go with Riley?
    If Riley was a first name, I like Riley Cameron.
    For middle name, Matthew Riley, Dylan Riley, Damon Riley and Henry Riley. But that's just me. HTH
