Although I dont think [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is too boyish, [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] and [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] sound like brothers. [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] sound great together. I also like [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] :slight_smile: I think it’d be best to move [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] to the middle spot, since your husband loves [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and it would still be part of her name.

I personally do not like [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] as much as [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is adorable, and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is cutest imo

I do personally find [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] to be a tad dated. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is very pretty, though. I’m conflicted because I don’t like [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] but I don’t like popular name either (long story short, my name is super common and I hate it). I think I’d still go with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], especially if you love it over [name_u]Taylor[/name_u].

I don’t think that [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] sounds too boyish however with a brother named [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] it makes it sound like brothers. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] is an adorable sibset! I think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] or [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] is fine. Because her current name is [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] you could name her [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] to keep that connection to her original name. However with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] she keeps the same middle name.

I basically second what sparkleninja18 said- I prefer [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], even though I tend to be hesitant towards super popular names. I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] a lot more than [name_u]Taylor[/name_u].

Personally, I wouldn’t rename a child, even if I had doubts. I know she won’t know the difference, but haven’t you started to think of her as [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]? I do prefer [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], and it is a personal choice, whether or not to change a child’s name, but, I’d still stay with her original name.

[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] is very beautiful name for a daughter.

I love the name [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], but am also cautious about popular names, just personal opinion, of course. One tid bit that might not be relevant at all, but [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] Johansson has a twin brother named [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]. I don’t think it’s well known or a big issue at all. In fact, it’s proof that the names [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] go really well together! Both [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] are really nice :slight_smile: Also, they do both seem like they fit different personality types, so while you’re daughter is still super young, does she feel more like one than the other?

I think [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] is a very nice combo. I also like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], but both names are so feminine, i kinda like the way [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] balance each other out. You could use a nickname from [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] like [name_f]Mira[/name_f]? Or come up with a nickname for [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] combined, like [name_f]Tandy[/name_f] or [name_f]Tami[/name_f]? I dunno, I think you should keep it. I think it’s very well balanced, not too frilly, and professional sounding.

Thanks so much everyone for your comments. I hadn’t considered [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] would sound boyish next to a brother with a name like [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]. And Bluelavendar, thanks for the trivia. I did not know [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] Johansson had a brother called [name_u]Hunter[/name_u]. Perhaps I am on the right track with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] then. Thanks again to all! Such a hard time trying to get it right.

I love the name [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. And I have never really liked the name [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]. But, I however feel as if you should stick to the name [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]. All the [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]'s I have ever met or have ever herd of have been girls. [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] and hunter, to me sound like brother and sister, but I see the worry about it sounding like brothers. I see the appeal of [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], and you must have as well at one point. It’s a common name but you won’t hear it everywhere, and it is a sweet name. However, if you are at a loss, keep it as a middle name just to make the ease of transitioning to a new first name easier for your son. (Who I assume is used to calling her [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]).

[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]!
