    Smile What do you think of these names??

    This is my first post on here so here goes nothing....

    Not currently pregnant but will be trying in a year or so. Everyone around me is having children and i find myself addicted with baby names and what people have been calling their children.

    I was thinking something uncommon but not too bizarre for a boy. Somethin manly but still trendy. I love pretty but different names for girls too. Dont mind different spelling as long as it's easy to pronounce.

    I have a few (ok more than a few) names that i like.
    Girls;
    Amara
    Jorja
    Arli/Arlie (Ar-lee)
    Kahli (Kar-lee)
    Ava
    Breea/Breeya/Breah (Bree-ya)
    Jayci (Jay-see)
    Malaya
    Nakia (Na-kee-ya)
    Amali - Skye??
    Amaya (A-may-a)
    Alyssa
    Mia (Mee-a)
    Kyah/Kya (Kai-a)
    Bailee/Baylee
    Kahlia (Kar-lee-a)

    Boys Names;
    Noah
    Levi
    Camron
    Harvey
    Jayden
    Jackson
    Nate
    Lucas
    Hunter
    Kobi (Co-bee)
    Brodie
    Bryce
    Bailey
    Mackenna

    What do you think?? I've also got a few middle names in mind but would love to here any suggestions you may have. Easy last name too 'Allen'

    Thanks so much for fueling my obsession....

    Hi there! I am exactly like you, i am planning to have a baby in a year or 2 and i am already thinking of baby names. I have Ayrton Stephen Babb for a boy and i'm thinking Summer Lily Babb for a girl (DP isnt convinced).

    But out of your names i was thinking that Kahlia Mia Allen sounds really pretty and Noah Hunter Allen for a boy.

    But thats just a suggestion

    I like very similar names as above as well : )

    Two names I really like are;
    Isla (girl)
    Arlie (boy)

    I am having trouble thinking of middle nmes though... any thoughts?

    Other names I like;
    Girls
    Mylah
    Khaili
    Riva
    Piper

    Boys
    Cruz
    Noah
    Lucas
    Braidy

    ^^^ To reply to above names...

    I LOVE Cruz! For obvious reasons - My 7 month old son is named Cruz

    Isla is so so pretty but is becoming a bit too popular now formy liking! All your other girls names are gorgeous and not as common as Isla... Piper is GORGEOUS!!

    For the boys of course Cruz is my favourite I do love Noah but it has become sooooo popular now, I know about 10 little Noah's right now! Great name though! Arlie is super cute, i like Archie too! Not too much of a fan of Lucas or Braidy - Lucas is nice, but I think it reminds me of all the Luke's from the 80's maybe?? I am weird! Braidy reminds me of Brady Bunch - Like I said I am weird!!

    I love Cruz & Piper most from your list!

    Congratulations and Best Wishes!!

    I will be completely honest with each and every name, hope thats what you wanted!

    Amara - Very sweet
    Jorja - Too popular for my liking!
    Arli/Arlie (Ar-lee) - I think it sounds a little like a boys name
    Kahli (Kar-lee) - Hmmm bit too common for me once again
    Ava - Too popular, but a beautiful name all the same!
    Breea/Breeya/Breah (Bree-ya) - Very nice!!!
    Jayci (Jay-see) - Hmm not sure
    Malaya - Not sure on this one either, I think it would be a name that would grow!
    Nakia (Na-kee-ya) - Cute
    Amali - Skye?? - Pretty
    Amaya (A-may-a) - Nice
    Alyssa - Not a fan
    Mia (Mee-a) - Way too popular!!! The number one name in the coutry for like 5 years running!
    Kyah/Kya (Kai-a) - I knew a little girl Kyah and she was gorgeous.. Its lovely
    Bailee/Baylee - I think this is just a boys name, don't much like it for a girl
    Kahlia (Kar-lee-a) - My besty has wanted this name since we were kids, its pretty

    Boys Names;
    Noah - It's ok
    Levi - I know too many Levi's, but is a nice name
    Camron - I knew a Cameron that wasn't the nicest so turned me off years ago
    Harvey - Not sure about this one
    Jayden - ???
    Jackson - Love it
    Nate - One of my fave boys names but is VERY common now (in 2009 top 20 names in the country)
    Lucas - Nice traditional sort of name
    Hunter - Another of my fave names, but is a top name in the country
    Kobi (Co-bee) - Gorgeous
    Brodie - Very Masculin
    Bryce - I'm sorry to put it so blunt, but I think it's horrible sorry
    Bailey -Much nicer as a boys name!!
    Mackenna - Gorgeous name, love it... As a girls name

    When I say too popular or too common, I just mean I wouldn't use it if you were wanting something different (as I do). I hope I haven't offended at all just wanted to give me honest opinion.

    and Hadley (Had-lee just as it's slept)


    Huxley (what we had picked for DD#2 if she was a boy)
