      Why is it so hard to come up with girl names?! Hubby is nagging me to start picking out names for the baby and I just can’t seem to find one that I really like. I’ve looked at all the baby name sites but I keep getting all the same names. I want something that isn’t very common but not so odd that she will be made fun of. So far this is what I’ve come up with….
      Kylie
      Cailin
      Alyssa
      Janis (after my late grandmother)
      Hailey
      Shannon
      Cydney
      Why are boys names sooo much easier to come up with 😑

          I’d tell you the one I have picked out but you have to promise to spell them different or something πŸ˜†

          Girl:
          Tasha Caylee Smith
          Kayla Ashley Smith

          Boy:
          William Jared Smith
          William Gareth Smith

          The boy’s names all have to start with William, family tradition on his side…but we’d be calling him by his middle name anyways.

          Well, I like Janis, but there’s also Genesis, Autumn, and Jordan. you could also puruse other countries names. From Japanese I like Hikari and Sakura. I’d have a much harder time finding boy names.

          Good luck, picking a name can be difficult.

            My husband wants to stick with either celtic or italian names. He is hell bent on the name Janis but I can’t think of a middle name to go with it. Maybe Janis Kylie Kutrick, I don’t know πŸ˜₯

              Janis Cailin Kutrick has a nice flow to it.

                I’ve always loved the name Amanda, but the only middle name we could think of that flowed was Lynn. I couldn’t name my daughter AmandaLynn πŸ˜†
                So we got Ashley Marie instead.

                After the whole kindergarten thing, looking back we should have picked something like Amy or Jill.

                  I like Bridget, Kaylee, Fiona Rose, Samantha, and Rosia. I also like Kylie. I’m sure you’ll come up with something pretty.

                  Just because I am a romantic…the movie Ladyhawke with Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick …the lead female “Lady” was called :

                  Isabeau…how romantic

                  Also Isabella, Isabelle, Elizabeth, Elizabetha, Victoria…

                  I really like the names of Old World Queens…What a name to hand down….maybe medieval and maybe old world, but still romantic and traditional after all these centuries….

                  Also most can be shortened for nicknames….

                  Issa, Izzy, Lizzy, Lizza, Lizabetha, Lisbeth, Ellie, Vickie,

                  These are all very feminine….good luck!!!

                  My name is Amanda πŸ˜€ and my middle name is Claire. I’ve always loved the name Ashley, and Haley too πŸ™‚

                    I agree that boys names are easier to come up with. Why is that? πŸ˜€ My husband & I also wanted names of celtic origin to go with our last name which is Campbell. We came up with these:

                    Annwyn
                    Aislinn
                    Aine – pronounced AHnya
                    Brenna
                    Eden
                    Fiona
                    Fawn
                    Gillian
                    Moira
                    Reaghan
                    Rowan
                    Rory
                    Siobhan – pronounced Shivawn
                    Teagan

                    We wound up with twin boys Ethan Ian & Sean Colin; no girls & unable to have any more children.
                    Love my boys! πŸ˜€

                    Hope this helps!

                      Celtic names
                      Bronwen – means Brown haired I belive
                      Arianwen – means White haired I believe
                      both are Welsh and pronounced the way they are spelled
                      I can hunt through my Celtic language book if you’d like πŸ˜€

                      Avalon is celtic. :O

                      I’m too sleepy to really think right now..

                        Those celtic names are so nice!

                        Personal pet peeve: When people take a ‘normal’ or common/conventional name and intentionally spell it weird to make it unique. They’re not making it unique- it sounds the same- they’re just making sure that it will always get spelled wrong and confuse people! πŸ˜†
