So DH and I have been talking about names alot (I dont wanna do what my brother did and not have a name until 3 days after the birth) We have settled at tme moment on: Haleigh Rose or Mason John Basically I am just wondering what everyone else thinks. We think we have decided but it could always change... we still have a while to go before a final decision has to be made.

Mason is bucking for number 1 of all baby names for boys in the US, and I know many. It's not unpleasant though. I like Halle but not Hayley, and Haleigh feels very jumbled up to me, but I'm not much of a fan of -leigh at all. I like John and Rose as first names, they are simple, well-known, and feel less on-trend w/o being weird.

I like your names but not your spelling of Haleigh. Hayley is beautiful and so is Halle as I am unsure how you pronounce Haleigh. DH and I have been discussing names since day dot, if this baby is boy he will be unnamed for some time lol. This post has been edited by MrsLexiK: 21/01/2013, 08:33 PM

Haleigh - terrible! How is it pronounced? I say it like Ha - lee, which sounds like Harley which is a boys name, or is it like Hayley, or Halle? Maybe consider a clearer spelling? Your child will be forever correcting people otherwise. Mason is cute, I like. It's becoming super popular though, not sure if that worries you.

I don't mind either name, but I would go with the spelling Hayley

QUOTE (Mine Site Wife @ 21/01/2013, 09:20 PM) Haleigh Rose Is that pronounced - Har-lee, Haal-lee or Hay-lee? Maybe go for a clearer spelling? QUOTE (Mine Site Wife @ 21/01/2013, 09:20 PM) Mason John Fine - but does sound a little like My son John (went to bed with his trousers on - its a nursery rhyme).

They are both fine. But please dont spell Hayley like that. It looks so terrible.

If you're going to use Hayley please spell it correctly. Haleigh is an appalling use of a beautiful name.
