We live in the south and really love our southern roots and the naming style here.
We have 2-3 weeks left to decide, it’s been an endless circle!!!
We want something feminine, but not frilly, a little spunky, and southern.
Our first daughter is [name]Allison[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (nn [name]Ally[/name] or [name]Ally[/name] [name]Jane[/name])
Anything but [name]Sutton[/name] - I do not get why people find this attractive. It’s literally one letter away from the word button and since when it “sut” an attractive sound? [name]Don[/name]'t get it.
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is actually quite sweet and unexpected, I really like it and I adore [name]Caroline[/name].
[name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is wonderful, though! [name]Laura[/name] is underused these days and it would be a delight to meet one.
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] or [name]Sutton[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] sound the most Southern to me. I live in south [name]Louisiana[/name], so you can trust me on this one. lol But it seems that most southerners where I live really like plainer, trendier names. I went to school with like 3 Jasons. Sutton is a place name meaning “south settlement.” So, it’s quite literally a southern name, but I also think it’s a surname.
[name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] sounds very 80s, as [name]Laura[/name] is a bit dated, and [name]Kate[/name] as the second half of a double is very 80s (think [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Kate[/name] [name]Olsen[/name]).
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is very sweet, fresh, and unexpected, I like it.
I also like [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name].
[name]Sutton[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] feels very Southern. [name]Elizabeth[/name] is so common in that middle spot, though, that this combo doesn’t feel very fresh.
My vote would be [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name].
I don’t like [name]Sutton[/name] at all, especially with a sister called [name]Allison[/name].
I love [name]Laura[/name] and don’t think such a timeless, classic name could ever be called dated. I like [name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] much re than any other option as it feels not only southern but rather upperclass southern. Though if you actually name her [name]Kate[/name] versus [name]Katherine[/name] that diminishes somewhat-- I like [name]Laura[/name] [name]Katherine[/name], nn [name]Laura[/name]-[name]Kate[/name].
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is my favorite. It is classy and lovely. [name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is second for me. [name]Laura[/name] seems to go well with [name]Allison[/name]. [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is not my cup of tea. I prefer variations of [name]Mary[/name], like [name]Miriam[/name], [name]May[/name] and [name]Marilyn[/name]. I really don’t like [name]Sutton[/name]. I don’t mind surnames used as first names, but [name]Sutton[/name], in particular, seems masculine and doesn’t appeal to me at all.
I think [name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is perfection! So classically sweet and pretty. I love [name]Mary[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name] but detest [name]Paige[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t get why people like this one. Also, [name]Sutton[/name] is really bad for a girl.
I’m not a fan of [name]Sutton[/name], and I don’t think [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] has the best flow (although the nicknames [name]Calla[/name] and [name]Callie[/name] for [name]Caroline[/name] are adorable!).
[name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is cute, but I think I prefer [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name] (but that’s only because I love the name [name]Mary[/name] - by herself, she doesn’t even need a double name!).
I’d pick [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] to go with big sister [name]Allison[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. You can call her [name]Carly[/name] or [name]Carrie[/name] and/or [name]Carrie[/name]/ [name]Carly[/name] [name]Paige[/name]. My second pick would be [name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] but I’m not crazy about double-barrel names. I’d name her [name]Laura[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] and call her [name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] as a pet name.
My favorite is [name]Sutton[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] (or maybe [name]Sutton[/name] [name]Kate[/name]?). I’m a native of South [name]Carolina[/name] (28 years and counting!), and I have known so many (usually gorgeous and smart) girls with surnames as first names around there. The girls who have names like that are usually preppy and are often in sororities (which I guess can be a good or a bad thing depending on your Greek life views). I’ve also taught at the college level for the last four years, and I like when there are girls in my class with cute names like this–they really stand out from the Sarahs and [name]Kathryn[/name]/Katherines that are always in my classes.
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is my favorite… I also like [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name], but it seems too rhymey with [name]Ally[/name] [name]Jane[/name]…
[name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name] are my choices, either is great. I am not fond of surnames as first names for girls unless it is a family name. [name]Caroline[/name] is not a favorite of mine, I prefer [name]Carolina[/name].
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] gets my vote. [name]Caroline[/name] has always felt distinctly Southern to me, and it’s undeniably classy and beautiful.
[name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] for defo. Although-I think [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Kate[/name] sounds lovely. I like the two ‘c’ sounds at the start of each name.
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] Best flow and I agree that from your option this fits best with big sister’s name [name]Allison[/name] [name]Jane[/name].
I adore [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name]! I agree with the pp that [name]Laura[/name] [name]Kate[/name] sounds very 80’s. I think [name]Mary[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is very classy and sophisticated with some southern twang! [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Paige[/name] is nice, but I love the double name. [name]Sutton[/name] sounds too masculine.
