Okay so there are several names that I like the sound of, but I am not sure of the spelling or I have seen it spelled different ways and don’t know which is better. Which spelling do you like?
[name]Anniston[/name]/[name]Annistyn[/name]/Anistyn
[name]Annabelle[/name]/[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabella[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name]/Kenzington/Kinzington - im torn on this one because I like nickname [name]Kinzie[/name], which obviously fits best with the last spelling, but [name]Kensington[/name] is my favorite. Is [name]Kinzie[/name] to far of a stretch with [name]Kensington[/name]?
[name]McKenna[/name]/[name]Makenna[/name]/[name]Mackenna[/name] is [name]Kinzie[/name] too far of a stretch with this one? What about [name]Kenzie[/name]?
[name]McKenzie[/name]/[name]Makenzie[/name]/[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Calleigh[/name]/[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee/Maysillie for a middle name
[name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Aria[/name]
And lastly, do you like [name]Elaina[/name] nn [name]Lainie[/name] or [name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]?
Thanks in advance! Sorry that turned into a lot more questions than I planned!
[name]Anniston[/name] - most legitimate. There should not be a “y” in this name.
[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name]/[name]Annabella[/name] - English, French and Italian spellings. I like [name]Annabel[/name] the best.
[name]Kensington[/name] - only spelling. There is no “z” in this name.
[name]McKenna[/name]/[name]Mackenna[/name] - all are legitimate. Mc is usually Irish, [name]Mac[/name] is Scottish. Not my style but I prefer [name]Mackenna[/name].
[name]McKenzie[/name]/[name]Mackenzie[/name] - Scottish/Irish names should have Mc or [name]Mac[/name] in the beginning. [name]Mackenzie[/name] is my preference.
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] - [name]One[/name] is English and Shakespearean, the second is the French spelling. I like just [name]Juliet[/name].
[name]Callie[/name] - The only one I would consider.
Maysilee/Maysillie for a middle name - I have no idea what this name is. It looks like a bad modern invention. I think I would avoid the word “silly” in a girls name if possible.
[name]Arianna[/name] - I like [name]Ari[/name] better than the trendy [name]Aria[/name] (which is another name in itself).
[name]Elaina[/name] vs. [name]Elena[/name] - I prefer [name]Elena[/name].
[name]Anniston[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name] - I would do Kensy or [name]Kenzie[/name]
[name]McKenna[/name]
[name]Mackenzie[/name] - knew 2 that spelled it this way
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
[name]Arianna[/name]
[name]Elaina[/name]
And is Maysilee/Maysillie even a name? I’m not liking it, sorry, but as a middle, I guess you can do whatever you want
[name]Anniston[/name] (I suppose, I’d prefer something more name-like like [name]Anna[/name] or [name]Anastasia[/name] or [name]Agnes[/name], tbh)
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name] (is the only way to spell this, [name]IMO[/name]. [name]Kinzie[/name] is still fine although I do prefer [name]Kenzie[/name].)
[name]McKenna[/name]
[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee is from the Hunger Games, yes? I prefer this over Maysillie, but would prefer [name]May[/name] or [name]Maisie[/name] to either really.
[name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Aria[/name] - no preference
And lastly, do you like [name]Elaina[/name] nn [name]Lainie[/name] or [name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]? - no preference
[name]Anniston[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] (although I do like [name]Annabel[/name])
[name]Kensington[/name] (and I think [name]Kinzie[/name] is a great nickname for this! It’s spunky and cute next to the more regal [name]Kensington[/name]. I knew an [name]Elizabeth[/name] who went by [name]Lilly[/name] once, so I definitely think you can get [name]Kinzie[/name] from [name]Kensington[/name])
[name]McKenna[/name] (I also think you could get [name]Kinzie[/name] from this, but I think it’s less likely to happen. I would be more likely to nickname [name]Kensington[/name], which is a bit of a mouthful, than [name]McKenna[/name], which I already think is cute and fun)
[name]Mackenzie[/name] (to avoid her sounding like a McDonalds burger)
Either [name]Juliet[/name] or [name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee is how it is spelled in The Hunger Games. But I’d be wary of using this. Although the reference isn’t super obvious, the name has “silly” in it. I wouldn’t want that for my daughter
[name]Love[/name] either [name]Ari[/name] or [name]Aria[/name] for [name]Arianna[/name]
I prefer [name]Elena[/name] to [name]Elaina[/name], but I think you could get either [name]Lainie[/name] or [name]Lena[/name] (pron. [name]LAY[/name]-na) from this.
I typically like names that don’t have many excess letters and are spelled as close to as how they are pronounced.
Anistyn (unless you plan on prnouncing it “stun” in stead of “stin”)
[name]Annabel[/name]
Kenzington/[name]Kinzie[/name] - keep Z in both but I think e->i is fine
[name]McKenna[/name]
[name]Makenzie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee
I can’t take this list seriously, I’m sorry. Maysilee? Seriously? Kezington / Kinzington? [name]Calleigh[/name]? You are naming a person who will grow up and need to be taken seriously and live her life as an adult.
[name]Annabel[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Arianna[/name] and [name]Elaina[/name] / [name]Elena[/name] are all just fine.
I like [name]Elena[/name] the best, but the alternate spelling [name]Elaina[/name] is alright. [name]Ariana[/name] (this spelling, prn ahr-ee-ah-na) and [name]Juliet[/name] are also lovely. I think [name]Anniston[/name] and [name]Kensington[/name] are kind of masculine, thus not my cup of tea. Maysillie is silly. [name]Makenna[/name] and [name]McKenzie[/name] are much too popular for my tastes and I hear them EVERYWHERE. I think just [name]Kenzie[/name] or [name]Kinzie[/name] would be so much better. Lastly, [name]Callie[/name] I see as just a nickname, so I think a longer version would be better.
[name]Anniston[/name]/[name]Annistyn[/name]/Anistyn - I actually prefer Aniston as a spelling. I think it’s also the most recognizable as that is how [name]Jennifer[/name] Aniston spells her last name. Second choice would be [name]Anniston[/name] the others look trendy and confusing.
[name]Annabelle[/name]/[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabella[/name] - All are great spellings. I really like [name]Annabelle[/name] - I love that it’s a name that has two full palindrome names separated by a b. (I know silly right?!)
[name]Kensington[/name]/Kenzington/Kinzington - im torn on this one because I like nickname [name]Kinzie[/name], which obviously fits best with the last spelling, but [name]Kensington[/name] is my favorite. Is [name]Kinzie[/name] to far of a stretch with [name]Kensington[/name]? I think [name]Kensington[/name] or even [name]Ksenia[/name] could work for [name]Kinzie[/name]. I do prefer Kensie as a nn for both.
[name]McKenna[/name]/[name]Makenna[/name]/[name]Mackenna[/name] is [name]Kinzie[/name] too far of a stretch with this one? What about [name]Kenzie[/name]? I prefer this name when it’s McK_. At least that way it looks like you choose a family as a fn. By only capitalizing the M it feels like you are trying to hide the LN as a FN choice. It’s odd to me.
[name]McKenzie[/name]/[name]Makenzie[/name]/[name]Mackenzie[/name] - [name]McKenzie[/name] is my favorite here as well. I think [name]Kinzie[/name] works best as a nn for this version.
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] - I love both. Could really depend on mn option.
Maysilee/Maysillie for a middle name - I’m not sure what you are trying to get. I’d prn the first as [name]Maize[/name]-lee and the second as [name]May[/name]-silly (rhyming with lazily). Are you trying to get [name]Mazie[/name]? (Which I think is fabulous, the other two are confusing).
[name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Aria[/name] - [name]Arianna[/name] is pretty. [name]Aria[/name] works as a full name as well though.
[name]Elaina[/name] nn [name]Lainie[/name] or [name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]? I prefer [name]Elena[/name]. Usually I go with the simpler the better.
[name]Anniston[/name], [name]Annistyn[/name], Anistyn- really doesn’t matter to me, there isn’t a spelling that makes the name appealing for me
[name]Annabel[/name] is my preference
[name]Kensington[/name]… anything else and you’re going to have a bad time
[name]Makenna[/name]…? I don’t have a preference really here either. And [name]Kinzie[/name] doesn’t make sense as a nickname for me (and I’m super lenient)
[name]Mackenzie[/name], if you absolutely must.
[name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Juliette[/name] are both fantastic. I tend to pronounce them JOO-lee-et and joo-lee-ET, respectively, though, if that makes a difference to you.
[name]Callie[/name], no question
Maysilee/ Maysillie- I can’t help you, this one goes over my head. Is it supposed to be along the same lines of flow with [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Maisie[/name]-[name]Lee[/name], or [name]May[/name]-silly, or something else?
I prefer [name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]. [name]Elena[/name] is lovely!
[name]Anniston[/name]
[name]Annabella[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name] - [name]Kinzie[/name] would be the perfect nn, but I would use the [name]Kenzie[/name] spelling.
[name]McKenna[/name] - I don’t have a strong preference for the spelling of this name. [name]Kenzie[/name]/[name]Kinzie[/name] would be a great nn.
[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] - It’s really hard to choose. I like them both. I like the pretty but simple look of [name]Juliet[/name], and the girly/frilly look of [name]Juliette[/name].
[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee
[name]Arianna[/name] - Personally I prefer [name]Ariana[/name], but [name]Arianna[/name] is beautiful too! [name]Both[/name] [name]Ari[/name] and [name]Aria[/name] work as nicknames. I prefer [name]Ari[/name].
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Anniston[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name]: [name]Kinzie[/name] is still a usable nn!
[name]McKenna[/name]: [name]Kinzie[/name] is still a usable nn here, as well.
[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Callie[/name]
Maysile: The other way just looks silly to me. [name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Aria[/name] [name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]
[name]Anniston[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
Kenzington
[name]Makenna[/name]- I think [name]Kinzie[/name] would be a cute nn
[name]McKenzie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee/Maysillie Not a fan of either one
[name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Aria[/name]- I like [name]Arianna[/name] better than [name]Aria[/name]
And lastly, do you like [name]Elaina[/name] nn [name]Lainie[/name] or [name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]? I like [name]Elena[/name] better than [name]Elaina[/name], but [name]Lainie[/name] better than [name]Lena[/name]!! I’m torn
[name]Anniston[/name]/[name]Annistyn[/name]/Anistyn - None of the above. But if you absolutely have to use it, then [name]Anniston[/name].
[name]Annabelle[/name]/[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabella[/name] - [name]Annabel[/name] or [name]Annabelle[/name].
[name]Kensington[/name]/Kenzington/Kinzington - Once again, none of the above, but if you must use it, then [name]Kensington[/name].
[name]McKenna[/name]/[name]Makenna[/name]/[name]Mackenna[/name] - Not my style, but I’d go with [name]McKenna[/name]. [name]Kenzie[/name] works, [name]Kinzie[/name] doesn’t quite.
[name]McKenzie[/name]/[name]Makenzie[/name]/[name]Mackenzie[/name] - Also not my style, but the [name]Mackenzie[/name] and [name]McKenzie[/name] spellings are ok.
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] - Definitely [name]Juliet[/name], unless you’re French.
[name]Calleigh[/name]/[name]Callie[/name] - I like this one, but only when it’s spelled [name]Callie[/name].
Maysilee/Maysillie for a middle name - After the Hunger Games character? I guess the Maysilee spelling is ok in the middle. I prefer [name]Marilee[/name]. I also second the suggestion of [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Lee[/name]/[name]Maisy[/name] [name]Lee[/name].
[name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]/[name]Aria[/name] - Like this one. I’d use both [name]Ari[/name] and [name]Aria[/name].
Like [name]Elena[/name], love [name]Lena[/name].
[name]Makena[/name] is a legit east African name, I would go with that. [name]Mackenzie[/name] is the correct spelling, “[name]Mac[/name]”, however, literally means “son of” so I don’t get why you would use it on a girl, it’s extremely masculine.
[name]Anniston[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]
Kinzington
[name]Makenna[/name]
[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name]
Maysilee
[name]Callie[/name]
if I were choosing
[name]Anniston[/name] - [name]Jennifer[/name] [name]Anniston[/name] ruins this name in general for me, but this spelling looks most correct.
[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Kensington[/name] - You could always make the nickname Kensie instead?
[name]Makenna[/name] - Nah, [name]Kenzie[/name] wouldn’t make sense. [name]Kenna[/name].
[name]Mackenzie[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Callie[/name]
Maysilee
[name]Arianna[/name] nn [name]Ari[/name]
[name]Elena[/name] nn [name]Lena[/name]
