Names names names... such headaches... !

Opinions please...

My boy pick at the moment....

Avery Charles (extra middle name) T****n


Girls choices...

Macey / Macy / Macie
Lena
Mali
Nyssa

Middle names - Mae/May/Maeve and Alice.

Leaning towards being between Macey and Lena..

I am not worried about two M names in a row - ie: Macey May (though initials will be MMAT)

I think Maci May sounds nice, some double initials can be pulled off & IMO this one can original.gif
Really like Mali Alice too.
I don't like Avery for a boy much prefer it for a girl.

Good luck!

Lena Mae is lovely!

I also prefer Avery for a girl although it is a unisex name

I see that your older daughter who is gorgeous by the way is called Tara. I think Tara is lovely and for me none of the other names you have mentioned are quite in the same league.

I guess Avery is ok but I would prefer Charles (nn Charlie) as the first name. If I really really really had to choose from the girl's list I think I would go for Mali. But again would prefer your MN choice of Alice.

I quite like Avery as a girls name but I really don't like it as a boys name at all. I'm not keen on Charles either but it's ok.


From the girls list I like Mali or Nyssa. Mali Alice Maeve or Nyssa Alice Maeve, in those orders, would be really nice. I think Macy and May or Maeve sounds rather silly in the same combo.

Lena Maeve is lovely (or Lena Mae). I also like Nyssa. I had a sorority sister by the same name, and I always thought her name sounded so glamorous.

On a different note, your daughter is hands down on the prettiest children on EB. I always notice when you post. She is beautiful!

Avery means "King of the Elves" - and while unisex (and have considered it for a girl), to me is quite masculine - but I have been sitting with it in my head for weeks LOL!!



I think that my fav girls are Macy Mae Alice or Lena Mae Alice.... I love Mali as a name, but I just realised it really doesn't suit with my husband's name... Avery Alice May might work if I decide Avery could pass for a girl... (hubby likes the idea of choosing a unisex name). ..

I am finding the whole name thing stressful this time - but Macey/Macy/Maci popped into my head and I have not been able to leave it, so it's on my list hehe

Really love Lena Mae/Maeve.

Lena is one of my all-time favourite names.

Out of all the names, I most like Maeve, and agree that Lena Maeve sounds nice..

I do like Avery too, for either girl or boy.

I love these two. They would be my picks. Not too fond of the other two on your list.

Alice is my sister's name - so only a middle name option.

Charlie is my preferred middle name, but it does not match Avery. For a different name I would choose Charlie. It is a family name and again, a middle name.

Other option for boys middle name is Edward.

I am still tossing up between all the girls names. It is so confusing. Trying to match it with Tara's name as well is really difficult. Tara's name came in a dream and this baby hasn't graced my dreams at all!! it is very frustrating... grrrrr.


I am still open to other suggestions... wink.gif

Love Macey, Lena and Nyssa.

Sorry I can't see the appeal of Avery.

Boy suggestions:

Finlay
Rory
Toby
Colby
Selby
Clancy
Tully
Bellefin
I wub.gif Lena - gorgeous and totally underused and goes well with Tara. Macey and Nyssa are nice. Nyssa i don't know of but like it as it's unusual. Avery is a bit feminine for me although it does remind me of the hot guy on Grey's Anatomy but I think it's his surname anyway.

How about
Nina
Nerissa
Lacey
Shelby

Adam
Daniel
Vincent

I like Lena Maeve or Alice Maeve.

Also not so keen on Avery for a boy (also makes me think of aviary).
Bel Rowley
I think Macy is a good fit with Tara, Macy Alice is my vote.
