Girl name help

[Blixie]

Ok so we found out yesterday we're having another little girl

I have no ideas what name to use as a close friend had a baby and used the name both DP and i had our hearts set on but these things happen right... Anyway we picked a different name for the reason we can shorten it to a name i like but doesn't sound like a name on its own and then i found out a close friend calls her DD that lol so not having much luck here and trying very hard not to step on anyone's toes or "steal" anyones names but not having much luck

If bub was a boy he would have had my grandad's name as his middle name and i would LOVE to name our little miss after my Nan but.... i just dont think we will her name's fairly old fashioned (Brenda Ursula Yvonne) I just don't know...

First names we like
Kaitlyn
Shay
Cadence (maybe)
Danielle (maybe)
Sheyanne

But i have NO middle names picked at all i know i have ages to go but i like to pick a name early that way if you decide you don't like it you can change it without too much trouble IYKWIM

Sorry that was a bit all over the place hope you can make sense of it.
Any suggestions/opinions would be greatly appreciated TIA

Congrats on another sweet lil' girl

.... You have some pretty names there to choose from ... I like Shay most on your list but prefer it spelt Shae

[pippismum]

How about Eve/Evie as first or middle name after Yvonne for your nan

[DaintreeDream]

I have always liked Shae, I think it goes best with your other DD's name also.
I also really like the name Cadence, I think Cadence Shay is nice.
Although I agree with smiles, I like the spelling Shae better.

oh i LOVE Cadence & Sheyanne(Cheyanne)

[Blixie]

Thanks ladies, i love Shay (its spelt that way cos DP gets confused with spelling and writes it that way anyway) but DP isn't sold on it cos "it sounds like its short for something" and also cos we can't decide on a middle name for it...

Kaitlyn is the one that he really likes but i'm not sure i like it with his surname "Kaitlyn McMillan" ??? i dunno...

Any suggestions for middle names? TIA

[Twin Sister]

Maybe you could use one of your Nan's names for her middle name?

I like the sound of Kaitlyn Yvonne McMillan.

[Nelle]

I'm another who was going to suggest Evie to represent Yvonne as a middle name. You could also try something like Brenna for Brenda?

[Rowellen]

How about Eve/Evie as first or middle name after Yvonne for your nan

That's exactly what I was going to say!

Or I think Kaitlyn Yvonne sounds lovely!

I like Shay/Shae too. (Prefer Shae). I don't think it sounds like it's short for something. There are a lot of names that are short for something but are also names in there own right, like Kate, Betty, Beth, Cathy, Cassie, etc. You have a bit of time to get your DH to come around

[Blixie]

Thanks everyone.

With the Evie/Eve thing i'd rather just use her name she's easily offended and will think of me altering her name as a negative thing i love her but she's a crazy one

Nothing's really jumping out at me yet though

Shayanne? Shaylyn? Shayleen? Shayenne? That way you can ease your DP into calling her Shay because it really will be short for something! My cousin's daughter is named Siobhan, pronounced kinda like Sha-VON...

[Blixie]

Have convinced DP on Shay But will no longer be naming bub after anyone due to petty family dramas

What do you ladies think of..........................

Shay Bethany McMillan

We both really like Bethany but cannot use it as a first name for family reasons, but not sure if it flows nicely... Any opinions would be great Thanks again ladies

[Oscar&Grouch]

i like it! i think it does great with you DD's name

[Blixie]

Its decided,

Shay Bethany it is

Thanks for all the help ladies

[Becky29]

What a beautiful name! Well done!
