Name Advice
1

[b]This is my first time posting on nameberry, as the title says, i’m stumped looking for a name that sounds good with our first born ‘[name_f]Mia[/name_f]’.
I’ve browsed several name websites, and other forums in search of ideas, and we’ve found a few we like, but my husband and I can’t agree on anything! Please help. :slight_smile:

Our first born is named after me, and has my initials.
My name: [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] [name_u]Kay[/name_u].
Firsts name: [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Kaelyn[/name_f].
Husbands name: [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u].
And our last name starts with a G.

Names we like and have considered.

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - but kind of thinking the whole [name_f]Mia[/name_f] & [name_f]Ava[/name_f] combo is waaay over used, and maybe to matchy??
[name_f]Michaela[/name_f] - pronounced my-kay-la, and sort of a variation of my husbands middle name [name_u]Michael[/name_u].
[name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] or Brynley
Anbrielle
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] - kinda the girly version of [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]?? but may not fit very well when shes older?
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marin[/name_f] or [name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] - saw this on a forum a few weeks ago and thought it was really cute.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Ana[/name_f] - husband loves this name, but I personally don’t like it at all.
[name_u]Halle[/name_u] or [name_u]Halley[/name_u] - pronounced hal-ee not hail-ee. [/b]

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is very, very over done. Since [name_f]Mia[/name_f] has your initials, why not give [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m]'s initials? Or use your middle initial as hers. So AM or AK. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Marin[/name_f]? I don’t think [name_f]Mia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] are too matchy, but they are similar and are both quite popular.

[name_f]Michaela[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] is beautiful, but I would pronounce it the traditional way of (Muh-kay-la) - or maybe not Muh but whatever the tradition sound is, not sure how to spell it. I dislike my-kay-la. I think it’s a great way to honour your husband’s mn [name_u]Michael[/name_u].

[name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] or Brynley - [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Bryn[/name_u], [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] or [name_f]Brynna[/name_f]? I don’t love [name_f]Brynlee[/name_f], and like Brynley even less. The “lee” just sounds so trendy to me. [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] would be beautiful!

[name_f]Andie[/name_f] - I think it’s cute, and I know 2 [name_f]Andie[/name_f]'s (both about 16 years old). Both of their names are [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] nn [name_f]Andie[/name_f] though. Have you considered [name_u]Andrea[/name_u]? I think it’s pretty and honours [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] nicely.

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - this is so pretty! Some more ideas" [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Aliya[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

[name_f]Marin[/name_f] or [name_u]Marian[/name_u] - don’t love either of these, but they would be good middles.

[name_u]Story[/name_u] - You’re right! This is super cute! I just don’t know how well it will age… I mean, can you picture a 45 year old [name_u]Story[/name_u]? Also, not sure how well it goes with [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. It’s quite different from the rest of the names on the list. Maybe it could be a pet name, but not the legal name. ex. [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Story[/name_u]. Or, it would be great for a MN.

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Ana[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. I think if you don’t like it at all, then it’s not worth considering. You need to find a name you both love. I do think [name_f]Mia[/name_f] & [name_f]Anna[/name_f] are great for sisters though. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] would be pretty.

[name_u]Halle[/name_u] or [name_u]Halley[/name_u] - I like the [name_m]Hal[/name_m]-ee pronounciation. Would [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] not work too? I can never tell which way is right. I think [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] is Hay-lee, and [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is [name_m]Hal[/name_m]-ee. [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is super cute and pretty! [name_f]Mia[/name_f] & [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is cute.

Some more ideas:
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Eva[/name_f] or [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] or [name_f]Zara[/name_f]

[name_f]Mia[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Alyssa[/name_f] - I know sisters [name_f]Mia[/name_f] and [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f] and I think its cute, plus uses your husbands initials!

[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] - nn [name_f]Andie[/name_f], cute with [name_f]Mia[/name_f].

[name_f]Aria[/name_f] - has a nice sound with [name_f]Mia[/name_f] and has the same modern feel.

[name_f]Alexa[/name_f] - sounds nice as a sister to [name_f]Mia[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] works nice as a mn.

Before I start, I really don’t want to offend anyone! :slight_smile:
I love the name [name_f]Mia[/name_f] btw.
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - It’s very generic nowadays. Nice variations imo: [name_f]Iva[/name_f], [Eye-va] [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_u]Alva[/name_u] (I love, love, love [name_u]Alva[/name_u]! In [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], where I live, it’s spelled [name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u] with the same sound, but [name_u]Alva[/name_u] is a lot less confusing.)
[name_f]Michaela[/name_f] - I really don’t like the idea of going around with, say, a name tag on and people pronouncing it wrong. [name_m]Even[/name_m] the pronunciation [name_m]Mick[/name_m]-ayla I don’t like, because I have had a bad experience with a [name_f]Michaela[/name_f]. A name that’s quite like it is [name_u]Nichola[/name_u], which you might like :slight_smile:
[name_f]Brynlee[/name_f] or Brynley: I think these are both trashy, but a name close to them, [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], is super nice.
Anbrielle: Trashy. [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] is quite nice though!
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] - This is gorgeous! Perhaps you could call her [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] for short!
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - Gorgeous!
[name_f]Marin[/name_f] or [name_u]Marian[/name_u]: I think these are very boyish. [name_f]Marissa[/name_f] is a more feminine style.
[name_u]Story[/name_u] - I’m sorry to be blunt, but that’s a horrible name.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Ana[/name_f] - Very nice, but a little too common. Nice MN.
[name_u]Halle[/name_u] or [name_u]Halley[/name_u] - I adore this!
MNs:
[name_f]Kayla[/name_f]
[name_u]Kimberly[/name_u]
[name_f]Karen[/name_f]
[name_u]Kelly[/name_u]
[name_f]Keira[/name_f] (Beautiful first name too!)
[name_f]Kia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Kirsty[/name_f]
[name_f]Kristen[/name_f]
[name_f]Kristena[/name_f]
[name_f]Kendra[/name_f]
[name_f]Katie[/name_f]

I hope I helped and wasn’t too rude!

I think we’ve decided on a baby name now, sorry i forgot to update lol. Now we’re just debating on if we’re choosing the right MIDDLE name!
Anyway, her name will be [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] :slight_smile:
Thanks for the replies everyone.

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful. And no not too matchy. [name_f]Andie[/name_f] could work as a nn for [name_u]Andrea[/name_u]? That way she could use [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] if she wants when she’s older. You could also go with your husbands initials.
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f]? (No a good m name but you get the idea)
Or if you plan on more kids maybe keep going with your initials
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f] [name_f]Kaitlyn[/name_f]? (Ma-rye-ah)

Why not go with [name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] so she’s named after dad, since your firstborn is named after you?

8

I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f].

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Micah[/name_u]
or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]

[name_f]Mia[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]. [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is nice. Some won’t like two floral names together, but I don’t mind it. If it bothers you, maybe one of these would work:

[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Yvette[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

Other first name options:
Mikaili (Micaylee)
MiKiley / Makiley
