alicai Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Our third girl is due at the end of December and we have had a hard time agreeing on names. Our older girls names are Ellory and Ainsley and we would like a name that goes with those. What we like about the girls names is that they are classic yet unusual (at least around here) but aren't weird. They aren't trendy. They are feminine without being over the top. So, all that to say - here is the short list. Feel free to vote and/or make suggestions :) Zoey Vianne Ever Lindsey Stella Lindsey Mackenzie Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusksAngel Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have to vote for Mackenzie Lynn. We have one of the first and the second is my middle name. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimtaxi234 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Another vote for Stella. I think it would be cruel to name a girl "Ever" because of the endless jokes that would go with the name, e.g., "Are you Ever going to do ..."

FaithManor Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I would be worried about the teasing with "Ever" since it is such a common word when communicating. I like Stella, really like Zoey, and can't choose between them. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Zoey Vianne Ever Lindsey Stella Lindsey Mackenzie Lynn So, I like Mackenzie.... You'll never get it spelled correctly, but what's new, right? :) On the "Ever" kinda name... What about something like "Eden" ;) I think "Ever" looks like a typo :( Avery is close and I was going to do Avery Marie. :) I like "Zoe" but with the umlauts, but I don't know how to do that on here :) and not really with Vianne... To me, I think it looks like it's missing the "v" like... Vivian or Vivienne.... Anyway... just my thoughts. You're the one who gets to explain forever... well.. you and your daughter :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlsdMama Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I looked up your names in my super-fantabulous book. ;) What's crazy is that when I look up Ellery - there sits Everly as a suggestion. I've never heard of using the name Ever. Crazy. But apparently if you like Ellery, you are attracted to Ever / Everly. I don't think any of them go, lol. The first two are both vowels and end in a y. Aubrey? Mackenzie would be my first pick. "The" book also suggested, though I know you didn't ask: Sheridan Chandler Hollis Hartley Ryleigh Piper Finlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have to say that "Stella" is one of my least favorite names. Sorry. I like McKenzie, and Ever. Zoey is ok, better than Stella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TranquilMind Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) So, all that to say - here is the short list. Feel free to vote and/or make suggestions :) Zoey Vianne Ever Lindsey Stella Lindsey Mackenzie Lynn Honestly, Ever is just odd. No one will ever (ha ha) get that right, and she will be the butt of endless puns. I like the alliteration of the ee sound, so I'd go with Zoey, to stay in that track. Stellaaaaaa Stellllaaaa (Sorry, Marlon Brando from A Streetcar named Desire flashback) Mackenzie is really trendy and overdone, in my humble opinion. So, out of your choices, I'd pick Zoey. I also like Emma with those names. Edited October 30, 2012 by TranquilMind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Grace Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think I'd go with Zoey. Ever is too much like your other "E" name and I wouldn't know if it was "Ee-ver" or "Eh-ver." Plus, it just strikes me as a WORD, not a name. Stella = Bette Midler. (Hasn't everyone seen that movie?) Mackenzie IS trendy, IMO. BUT... it's not my baby. So I would just pick whichever one you think fits when you see her. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzimmer1 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think Mackenzie and Zoey are trendy, at least around here.;) :iagree: Both of these are super popular here. Stella is okay, Ever (well in my book names should at least be names and this doesn't qualify as a name it's an adverb - or maybe an adjective) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I like Zoey because it ends in a 'y' like Ellory and Ainsley. :) By the way, "Congratulations!" :iagree: I like Zoey for the same reason. MacKenzie would be my second choice, but it's too trendy for your other names. I can't stand Stella. Sorry. It just sounds frumpy to me.

jujsky Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Zoey or Stella. Mackenzie is too trendy if you're looking to stay away from that, and Ever is just....strange. It sounds incomplete. Everly is pretty and unusual though -- a friend named her little girl that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamolina Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just to help out the OP, she didn't make up the name Ever and it really is a name! I know a friend's daughter, a cute little girl with that name. Not my favorite of the choices, but it is indeed a real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaBirdX7 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I went to the social security website and searched popularity. Zoey was the 31st most popular name in 2011; Zoe was the 28th. I'm not sure where that ranks the name when you combine its popularity. Mackenzie is #68. Stella is #73. "Ever is not in the top 1000 names for any year of birth in the last 12 years." Sounds like there will be lots of Zoe(y)s running around. I have a kid we call Ever or sometimes Everly or Evey. If I really liked the name Ever for a girl I would name her Everleigh and call her Ever for short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Mackenzie and Zoey are kind of trendy. When I hear Stella I think of Streetcar Named Desire My first thought with Ever is Everclear. Not exactly what one wants to think of when talking about one's little girl. If I had to pick on of the names listed I'd go with Mackenzie. It seems to flow best with the two you already have. If I were to suggest a new option, I think Aubrey goes with the two you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I gotta admit - Stella had me think of Brando yelling "Stell-a!", too. But most younger folks won't get that reference, right? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5LittleMonkeys Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think Stella Vianne sounds very nice together. Stella Lindsey doesn't flow well. Zoey and Mackenzie are very trendy (at least around here). I like the name Ever, it reminds me of reading about colonial days when little girls were named Patience, Constance, Love...but, it doesn't "go" with your other girl's names imo. I'd go with Stella Vianne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug's Mom Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 My vote is for Stella. I believe that it's the very best girl name ever. :) (I should probably admit that my dd is named Stella...) I can't stand Stella. Sorry. It just sounds frumpy to me. Here's my frumpy Stella at a shop with a very fine name, indeed. ;) (I understand, though. Just before she was born I started freaking out that it was the worst possible name in the world. Thankfully, I got past that, because I can't picture her with any other name.)
