I voted for [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] - such a stunning, beautiful combination!

I voted for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u]. :slight_smile: (([name_u]Noel[/name_u] is my mn too…nice choice! ;D)

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]. classic and not too popular…

[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] would be my pick. Most of these names are just not my style. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] would be my second pick. I would encourage making the middle name [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. It looks more feminine. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] would be beautiful!

I like:
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] Amerlin.
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_u]Arie[/name_u] Amerlin is OK.

The rest are not to my taste at all.

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] literally took my breath away! So pretty! I also voted for [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u], too, but [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] is definitely my favourite!

[name_f]Aria[/name_f] was my vote…

My favorites from your list are: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] (totally underused name in my opinion), [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u], and [name_u]Arie[/name_u] [name_u]Noel[/name_u]. I like [name_f]Aria[/name_f] and [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] okay (I’m assuming [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] is a family surname). Amyrlin seems really complicated without much payoff, and the Amyr reminds me of the common Arabic boys name [name_m]Amir[/name_m], but I could be convinced. However it doesn’t go well with [name_u]Camden[/name_u], in my opinion, which is uncommon but easily pronounced due to its historical usage. Amyrlin sounds more like a planet or Kingdom in a sci-fi or fantasy novel.

The only one that I don’t like at all is [name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m], mostly just for personal reasons. The BR sound is really harsh to me (I really hate all BR names on girls: [name_f]Brynn[/name_f], [name_f]Bree[/name_f], [name_f]Brianna[/name_f], [name_f]Briony[/name_f], etc), and reminds me of the word Brine (not really a pleasant image) or Brindle (the mottled stripe coloring on animals). If forced, I’d go with [name_u]Brinley[/name_u], as the leigh ending makes it look more trendy than it already is. This is going to sound terrible, but I could see [name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m] as one of the babies on Teen Mom or 16 and Pregnant.

[name_u]Noel[/name_u] is nice, but I think the spelling [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is much more feminine and much nicer. [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] would be stunning. I love [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], but if you have a son named [name_u]Camden[/name_u], you might want to be careful about falling into the C as the first letter pattern. I think [name_f]Arrie[/name_f]/[name_u]Arie[/name_u] is really pretty, but it reminds me of the store [name_u]Arie[/name_u]. So my vote goes to [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. I think I prefer [name_f]Aria[/name_f], but [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is beautiful too.

Please use [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], it’s a perfection. :slight_smile:

My tastes are more traditional so I like [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f], both pretty names. I like how [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] shares the C with [name_u]Camden[/name_u] but not the hard C sound. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] might be a little too [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]-y though: [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] star. I agree with pp that [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] seems a prettier spelling to me.

Amyrlin - I don’t know how to say this and the alternate spellings don’t help. My brain is just confused by the letter combinations. I take your point about just having to explain your unusual name once and people get it, and I don’t have a problem with that. It’s just that one of my criteria would be that the name is appealing visually and Amyrlin doesn’t meet that criteria for me.
[name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m] - Not my favorite but vastly prefer [name_u]Brinley[/name_u] spelling. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]?
[name_f]Atlee[/name_f]- doesn’t seem complete somehow, or like the name of a person (I could see an [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] Road for example). Atleigh is worse.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Arie[/name_u]/[name_f]Arrie[/name_f] - I could take or leave

Amyrlin - any spelling, sounds made up, another lin/lyn connocotion
[name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m] - as above, another ley, lee, ly connocotion
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] - nice, but been there done that
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - overused, dated
[name_f]Atlee[/name_f] - actually nice! doesnt have the same ‘ugh another ley’ feel like the first two, probably because the first syllable isnt also a trendy [name_u]Brin[/name_u],[name_u]Jay[/name_u],[name_f]Amy[/name_f],[name_u]Bray[/name_u]
[name_u]Arie[/name_u] - a boy name and sounds like a nickname
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - trendy, game of thrones

[name_f]Atlee[/name_f] - think i like this spelling better than Atleigh, it just looks wrong. maybe Atley or even Attley. but [name_f]Atlee[/name_f] is my fav.

ps - spell [name_u]Noel[/name_u], [name_u]Noel[/name_u]. its more common and she wont have to correct people if she ever uses it. more complex isnt always better. plus since you seem to be using it for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] reasons as well as it being lovely, this is the traditional [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] spelling as well.

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is gorgeous so that would be my pick! [name_m]How[/name_m] could I resist a name that translates to “[name_f]Heavenly[/name_f] [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]”. :slight_smile: [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] would be a distant second. I would avoid [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] (a really red Christman?).

With [name_u]Camden[/name_u] I’d pick [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u]. Gorgeous!

I voted for [name_f]Aria[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] sounds nice. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] is nice too.

[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] strikes me much more than any of your first name choices, and goes much better with [name_u]Camden[/name_u]. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is gorgeous.

Okay my 3 favorites are [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m].

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]- I wouldn’t use this because [name_u]Camden[/name_u] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] both start with a C. If you plan on having other children (or even if you are surprised with an unexpected one) it may be hard to carry on the C naming scheme. If you plan on doing this I may start looking for girl and boy C names from now just incase. I understand you may want to name these 2 with a C and not the others, just keep in mind it may look weird as these are the first 2 kids, another one without a C may look unexpected to the outside eye.

[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] just looks and sounds to me as red christmas. So I didn’t vote for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f].

So by default I voted for [name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m] as it was the one left standing of the 3. I found it to be the most applicable taking into consideration meaning of the names and naming with [name_u]Camden[/name_u] as a brother.

[name_f]Aria[/name_f] is also nice though.

I agree with the [name_u]Noel[/name_u] spelling. It is the most common and least complicated.
[name_f]Noelia[/name_f] may also be an option

There’s a difference between a unique name and a name that consists of random syllables mashed-up in order to produce a trendy sound. Amyrlin (how would you even pronounce this?!), [name_m]Brinleigh[/name_m] (even typing this one makes me cringe), [name_f]Atlee[/name_f], and [name_u]Arie[/name_u] are not unique. They sound like a handful of extremely common names that have been butchered, mixed around, and pasted back together. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], on the other hand, are unique. They are legitimate names with a long history of use and a lovely, distinguished sound. [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is also quite nice, though it also falls square in the “trendy” category.
