[name]Hi[/name] all! We’re expecting our 1st child in less than a month! We’re team green and we’ve had a boy’s name picked out for quite a long time (Baylen) but we’re a little up-in-the-air on girl’s names.
Our favorites currently are:
Everleigh
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Annaleigh[/name]
We also kind of like (but probably wouldn’t pick for a first name…)
[name]Grayson[/name]
Ayelie
Any feelings out there on picking between those 3? Also, any middle name suggestions would be appreciated! Last name starts with an H and is fairly short with 2 syllables.
[name]Annabel[/name] is by far the best name on the list. I love it- it’s classic, strong, feminine, familiar, and uncommon all at the same time. There are tons of nickname possibilities. [name]Annaleigh[/name] is a distant second and Everleigh I really don’t care for. I think -leigh names will quickly become dated. But [name]Annabel[/name] is a really fantastic pick- go for it!
What type of middle name are you looking for? Any specific style? I think a one syllable middle would sound good with a two syllable last and three syllable first. Some suggestions to go with [name]Annabel[/name]:
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]June[/name]/[name]Jane[/name]/[name]Jade[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Wren[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Fay[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Cole[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] [name]Zoe[/name]
Thank you for your help! My thoughts on a middle name are fairly open. We obviously like names that are not too traditional. A lot of the middle names you gave are ones that I’ve been bouncing around - [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Claire[/name], and [name]Zoe[/name]
Thanks again!
Also - would you prefer the pronunciation for [name]Annaleigh[/name] as AHna-leigh or [name]ANA[/name]-leigh? DH and I are on opposite sides of the fence with that one haha!
I’ve got to put in another vote for [name]Annabel[/name]! It’s so pretty! I think [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Zoe[/name] sounds great, and I love agirlinred’s suggestion of [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Gray[/name] :o
Baylen is cute!
I actually like [name]Annaleigh[/name], but not that spelling. [name]Annalee[/name] looks less trendy. Annalyn is nice too.
[name]Annabel[/name] is sweet, but all the “bell” names are so popular. ([name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Isabella[/name], etc)
I agree with most everyone else. I really prefer [name]Annabel[/name] and love the suggestion of [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Gray[/name]. That is so sophisticated and beautiful.
I love [name]Annabel[/name], and I really like [name]Annaleigh[/name]. I would prn it [name]ANA[/name]-[name]Leigh[/name], not Ahna-[name]Leigh[/name]. Im in the southern US. I don’t like Everleigh at all. To me, it sounds trendy and made up. I like [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Claire[/name] best of the mns you listed.
This might sound stupid, but what is team green? I’m new to the site but I’ve seen mentions of colors to names on here before and it confuses me. Does it derive from something or am I completely off on this?
Team pink is people who are expecting girls. Team blue for boys. Team green is for people who are waiting until the birth to find out. I am team green!
I like [name]Annaleigh[/name] of your three. I would say [name]ANA[/name]-leigh not [name]AH[/name]-naleigh. The latter sounds stuck up. like [name]AH[/name]-ndrea…[name]Just[/name] my opinion.
[name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Everly[/name] is very cute though!
