Help me choose!

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I already have a boys name picked out, he will be Oscar William (i'm considering adding James in there but will have to run it by DP)

But i am absolutely stuck on a girls name. I had Scarlett Lea but turns out my sister already has a niece called Scarlett and ive be-friended her mother so that could be awkward!

My DD's name is Kailey Summer. So i would like something that goes with that.

I am torn between two names:

Reagan/Reigan and Ivy.

I was torn between Kailey and Summer so decided to mash them together for her name but i'm not sure how i like the sound of Reagan Ivy or Ivy Reagan. And i think if i had Ivy as the first name the two names would sound funny together. Kail-ey and Iv-ey.

So thats where i need help! If i am to have Ivy as a first name i want a long-ish middle name and vice versa Reagan with a short middle name.

I love Ivy

I love Ivy, one of my favourite names. I don't think it sounds weird with Kailey, I think it sounds cute

Ivy Madeleine
Ivy Clementine
Ivy Isabelle
Ivy Rachael
Ivy Catherine


Excuse my sucky spelling, I'm on my iPhone

I like Ivy better. Reagan reminds me of the president and feels like a boy name to me. With Ivy though, how would you feel about both your babies names ending in 'Y'. I like it, but I know some people avoid that.

I agree! I like Ivy and I don't think it matters that it ends in the same sounds as your DD's name. I think I 3 syllable middle name would sound good with it.

[~TT40~]

I like Reagan Ivy better, (or atleast Reagan as a first name better than Ivy) Reagan actually reminds me of a chick (off mcloads daughters) before the president...

actually how would you pronounce it? is it rEEgan, or RAEgan? (for me the EE is feminine and AE is male)

being Kailey and Ivy, might work too if you want them to have a simular 'theme' sort of thing, some people like that, but if it bothers you then yea avoid it.

I think Kailey and Ivy sound fine together. We've chosen a girl's name that sort of sounds like DD's.

I like Reagan Ivy, too.

[*LittleMissSummer*]

It would be pronounced REEgan. We heard the name on the first series of idol and we agreed it was a really nice name.

I'm leaning toward Ivy Reagan, the more i say it the more i like it. Now to convince DP i like it. I don't think hes keen on Ivy..

.

TOTALLY the person I thought of when I saw the name Reagan!

I love Ivy. There's just something about that name...

[Ladylove]

I love Ivy as a name- adore it in fact. Alas my hubby does not.

[Rowellen]

When I was 12 my favourite name was Regan. I'm not sure where I heard it. Not long after, a girl moved in next door - called Regan. She's still a good friend 20 years on So I say Reagan/Reigan. I do prefer the Regan spelling though. I think the other spellings would get confused with Ray-gan.

I like Ivy too. It's my Grandma's name.

I think both go well with your DD's name.

I also like the combo Regan Ivy. Not so keen on Ivy Regan.

[myturn]

I think Ivy Reagan sounds great (and better than vice versa), and not at all silly with Kailey....

[hj1981]

i like Ivy too

[Charlotte91]

The best way to find out if Ivy and Kailey sound too similar is to yell them. Honestly!! You'll hear if you like saying the names together and hear if they are too alike.

ahahhahaha that made me giggle

and start shouting *Zoe Olivia* in my head...as it would scare my 4 year old if I was to do it out loud! and of course, wake Miss Zoe Olivia up!

Oh, and probably scare the bejeeezus outta my *man flu infected husband*

[LaDolceVita]

I love Scarlett! Obviously haha

I think Ivy Reagan sounds nice but yea a bit eeee eeee with Kailey & Ivy, but that wouldn't worry most people so if you love it go for it!

I remember the Oscar thread! Oscar Babb, Oz Kebab.. Cute name though!

[~~Snoogans~~]

My dd1 is Harriett - old fashioned and not common these days!
dd2 is Zoe, although that is a bit common it seems

my niece is Elsie - very old fashioned

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Harriett is such a cute name! But i know DP won't like it...

And Scarlett was the ONLY name we agreed on would be our second girls name when we were thinking of names for DD. Ahh damn my sister and her having a niece called Scarlett already!

Then there is Quinn.. but DPs cousin has a daughter called Quinn and we see them often so that would be very awkward..

*sigh* im doomed to never find a nice name we will both agree on.
