Okay so sorry this is like my 5th question this week. But everything is failing , and I am sure that other parents know how hard the name search can be sometimes… We thought maybe [name]Hailey[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] but now i have noticed the weather indication in those two names I don’t like it anymore. Though for sentimental value, family links and the meanings I am thinking I would like to use [name]Rayne[/name] as a middle name. Does anyone have ideas for a first name to go with that please?
For more information I would appreciate names that are not overly popular unless you think they really really suit and flow well. I am strongly trying to avoid her being the 7th person in her class with the same name. I like old names and newer names, but nothing too wacky , no strange spellings and preferably with a nice meaning. I am so strung out searching and coming up with nothing, I have looked through so many lists and searched and please don’t be offended if I don’t pick your names, I have seen so many and know what i like or don’t like. I really need help and not many people are responding when i post so , it is really hard. I am really afraid of her not having a name. If it was a boy I would be okay. As it is a lovely princess I am a little stuck… I do like more girlier names and names that flow well off the tongue, rather than harder more chic popular names like eden or tiegan. I would preferably like one that had a cute nickname too.
So ideas please for middle name [name]Rayne[/name] last name [name]Taylor[/name] …
Sorry to hear you’re really struggling with a name. I’ve not gone with similar names rather with some of your other criteria - old names which are girly & flow well off the tongue:
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Nora[/name], other options too!
[name]Matilda[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] nn [name]Mattie[/name], [name]Tilly[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] (not sure if you want a nature/flower name with the middle name [name]Rayne[/name]?)
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] (not sure how you feel about first and middle having same first lettter?)
[name]Hope[/name] some of these help! Good luck in choosing a name!
I had the same problem’Jadeybug. I went into labour, and got the hospital, still not having a name picked out that both my husband and I agreed on for our 2nd. It took 12 hrs after she was born to decide. Good luck and try not to stress to much.
Some of my suggestions
[name]Annette[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Annalise[/name]
[name]Vada[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Lacey[/name]
[name]Odette[/name]
[name]Everly[/name]
[name]Madaline[/name]
I really like pp’s suggestions of [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Rayne[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] (though I prefer [name]Madelyn[/name]) and [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Rayne[/name].
The first name I thought of though was [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]. However, since that name is quite popular, what about [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] or [name]Elisa[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]?
I would stay away from any word names, even if it is a well established name, since that would make her name sound like an adjective (i.e. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] or [name]Sienna[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] -though I really like [name]Violet[/name]).
Other ideas:
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Rayne[/name]
[name]Elena[/name] [name]Rayne[/name] (or [name]Helena[/name])
I hope you will find a name you love soon!

Thanks so far guys And keep them coming!!! Still yet to find the one that zings but have jotted a few possibles down… [name]Just[/name] wish these posts wouldn’t get lost or just not replied to after the first five minutes lol. help meeeeeeeee lool!
I feel the same way as you, but about boys’ names.
So based on your criteria, I like
[name]Adriana[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Vienna[/name]
[name]Vanessa[/name] (would’ve been our girl name if we were having a girl!)
[name]Valentina[/name]
[name]Juliana[/name]
[name]Maya[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
You know it’s okay not to have the name finalised and this very moment! I know loads of people who have waited till the day of the birth looked at their child gone through their lists and decided yes she/he’s a [name]Wilhelmina[/name] or [name]William[/name] for example. [name]Don[/name]'t worry. I’m not keen on [name]Hailey[/name] as a name I’ve never liked her she seems bland. But I think [name]Rayne[/name] is a intriguing choice and the family associations are also great.
Well alot are popular and seen over and over i don’t like to point them out and seem ungrateful, i like cassidy but not overly keen to use cassie or cass as a nickname and agin although i love it i know it isn’t HER name if that makes sense. I am not keen on danica, i don’t like the way it sounds, josephine is a little too old fashioned even though i like others from it’s time, also it is becoming very popular of late, i like elodie, addison , adelaide, eliana, phoebe , ariana etc but again either other half doesn’t or i don’t find the nicknames right or girlie enough. I also like violet alot but feel sad the only nickname will be vi, plus i think it may be quite popular at the moment as lot of people are asking about it.But alot of these names in the posts are in the top popular names lists and i am trying to avoid them if possible, cos her school will be full of them sadly. I like cadence, cadey for short, but my name is jade - jadey. And i feel this would clash. I also have to be careful about clashing with her older sister’s name [name]Lacey[/name], or brother [name]Peter[/name]. They are my partners children but live with us. I don’t want something like hailey, rather that has the sound or flow that is feminine , girlie and pretty , opposed to something hard or sharp sounding. I would also prefer something with 2 or more syllables as [name]Rayne[/name] is 1 syllable and the middle name two on taylor for the last name. The awkward thing is i love and appreciate alot of names, but whether i would use them for my lil baby is another thing. so i love helping the other guys with their questions and can do so with genuine affection. It is more precious to be right for your own, especially if you don’t intend to have a bunch of kids. I know tori that i don’t have to have it right now, but it is something i would like to resolve and have sorted rather than have a nameless daughter. I had a nameless sister for days and felt horrified for her. xxx
Ooh, your last post just made me think you might like [name]Delaney[/name] nn [name]Della[/name]!
When you say you want the nns to be girly, can you give some examples of nicknames that you love? [name]Do[/name] you like vintage type nicknames such as [name]Millie[/name] or [name]Nellie[/name]?
I like delaney, maybe not della would probably have used laney, but oh doesn’t like it it is hard to agree with two of you, but i am sure it beats being a single parent lol. I like nn [name]Lele[/name], not keen on nellie ( nellie the elephant) liking some cute versions though not all think it depends on the long names , trying to think of examples for you … lola, libby, cadey, gracie though can’t use it as cousins middle name, and rhymes with her sister lacey, casey - again sadly rhymes with her sissy. It is hard to give you examples cos if there were lots of names i loved the nicknames for i would have a name by now lol x x
