…or …
[name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] O’[name_m]Brien[/name_m]

We have a 2 year old son [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] [name_u]Jay[/name_u] O’[name_m]Brien[/name_m]

I’m loving [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], that gets my vote by a mile!! [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] makes a very sweet sibset [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

I really like [name_f]Maren[/name_f]!

I think I love [name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] the most, but I also [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. Maren has lovely lilting flow with your surname.

I’d say if you don’t want the endings to feel matchy with Pierson and O’Brien, pick Paige. But personally, I prefer the other two options, especially Maren! Maren Gray O’Brien sounds beautiful, calm, and sophisticated.

Full disclosure: my last name is very similar to O’Brien, and my name and one of my brothers’ names also end with -N, so Maren O’Brien and Cailin O’Brien sound natural and pleasant to me. I know my parents crossed every single name ending in -A off their list because they wanted to avoid any “uh oh” sounds, so I might feel iffy about Alexandra, though less so since it’s in the middle.

I can’t decide between [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] (love the alliteration with [name_m]Pierson[/name_m]) and [name_f]Maren[/name_f]… I think [name_f]Maren[/name_f] by a hair! [name_f]Maren[/name_f] O’[name_m]Brien[/name_m] has a lovely rhythm, but [name_f]Maren[/name_f] is also so grounded. Great list!

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] gets my vote. It’s very sleek and pretty.

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is lovely!!

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] is stunning! [name_f]Paige[/name_f] is a close second. I think it’s so sweet, and I love [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] & [name_f]Paige[/name_f] together.

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] gets my vote too. I really like [name_f]Paige[/name_f] but something slightly too hard with last name in my ear (but only marginally so!). I like [name_u]Cailin[/name_u] too but not [name_u]Rae[/name_u] - [name_u]Rae[/name_u] doesn’t flow onto O’B very well and it repeats [name_u]Cailin[/name_u] too much imo.

I’m not normally a fan of [name_f]Maren[/name_f] but I really like it with your surname, so it gets my vote. I also like [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] very much, and like it with your surname.

I absolutely love the flow of [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] O’[name_m]Brien[/name_m]!

[name_f]Paige[/name_f] is my favourite. My least favourite is [name_u]Cailin[/name_u].

I really like [name_f]Maren[/name_f] and [name_f]Paige[/name_f]!

I think [name_f]Paige[/name_f] goes a bit better with [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] if you care about that.

I don’t really like [name_u]Cailin[/name_u].

I really like [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. I’m not a big fan of [name_u]Cailin[/name_u].

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] gets my vote - nice names that work well with the surname.

[name_f]Maren[/name_f]! [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] and [name_f]Paige[/name_f] seem dated to me like [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Paige[/name_f] best.

I like [name_f]Paige[/name_f]!

[name_f]Maren[/name_f] by a mile! I think [name_f]Paige[/name_f] sounds good with [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] but I’ve never met a nice [name_f]Paige[/name_f] tbh. [name_f]Maren[/name_f] also matches the stands-out-fits-in feel that [name_m]Pierson[/name_m] gives me.
