[name]Hi[/name],
I’m new and not even close to having any kids, but I was just wondering what people thought about my favorite names. I also need some help on middle names and name suggestions would also be appreciated!
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - sounds pretty, but looks made up
Cagely [name]Sophia[/name] - I think cagely is awful. Makes me think of cagey IE: Reluctant to give information owing to caution or suspicion.
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] - [name]Samaya[/name] is not my style, but sounds pretty
[name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willow[/name]/Liviana - not sure how I feel about emrys
Boys:
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - looks made up
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Amedeo[/name] - dislike
[name]Azaiah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - just looks like it has YOUNEEK spelling, dislike.
I can appreciate that you are trying to find a more “different” name style, but I would refrain from made up (looking) or spelling changes. Good luck!
All of your names sound either made up or like they are for the opposite gender.
I really like your middle names!
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - pretty sound, but looks like a made up name, what about [name]Rosalyn[/name] or [name]Jocelyn[/name]? I like [name]Weston[/name] for a boy.
Cagely [name]Sophia[/name] - the ‘cage’ part really puts me off. Like naming your kid Jailor. What about [name]Everly[/name] or Eisley or [name]Cecily[/name]?
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] - again, seems made up but it is a pretty sound, [name]Samara[/name]? [name]Samantha[/name]?
[name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willow[/name]/Liviana - [name]Emrys[/name] is a boys name, it’s very pretty though, probably my favorite of your list. I like Liviana. Also, [name]Livinia[/name], [name]Carys[/name], [name]Cerys[/name].
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - looks like you plopped an X at the front of [name]Adrian[/name]. I like [name]Xavier[/name] and [name]Zander[/name] and [name]Hadrian[/name]. [name]Judah[/name] is lovely
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Amedeo[/name] - sounds made up. [name]Jasper[/name]? [name]Mathias[/name]? [name]Jeremiah[/name]?
[name]Azaiah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - What about [name]Isaiah[/name] or [name]Ezekiel[/name]? This one isn’t terrible, but it looks misspelled even if it’s not
Thank you all for taking the time to respond.
I have been rethinking Cagely, I kinda have a connection to it because I made it up and loved it a couple years ago, but I think I might be growing out of it now.
I know [name]Emrys[/name] is a boy name, and I love [name]Carys[/name], but I also really like the nn remmie and as [name]Emrys[/name] isn’t in the top 1000 for either gender, I thought it might work. I also really like [name]Isaiah[/name], but I have a name that has been in the top 20 since before I was born and while it wasn’t horrible, it’s not something I would chose for my future children
I guess I don’t really see what’s wrong with made up names. I’m assuming a lack of a meaning has something to do with it, but what’s better, telling Kennedy that her name means misshapen head, or telling Sosha that her mommy and daddy absolutely loved her name?
Anyway thank you for your time and insight.
I guess you’re right that since it’s so uncommon it could work for either gender. Like I said, it’s my favorite from your list and it is very pretty.
lol, good example! It’s really not the lack of meaning that bothers me, but the constantly correcting people about the spelling and pronunciation of your name. Also, “made up” names have a sort of low-brow feel in a lot of areas. If that doesn’t bother you then stick to your guns and love what you love
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - Sounds really nice actually but not keen, [name]Ivy[/name] is lovely
Cagely [name]Sophia[/name] - Cagely is… interesting. [name]Sophia[/name] is again, lovely!
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] - [name]Samaya[/name] is NMS but its my favourite of the list! [name]Jasmine[/name] is pretty too
[name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willow[/name]/Liviana - The only [name]Emrys[/name]’ that I’ve met have been boys, but I can see it working on a girl, [name]Willow[/name] and Liviana are cute
Boys:
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - Looks weird but actually sounds cool, and [name]Judah[/name] is so cool!
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Amedeo[/name] - NMS
[name]Azaiah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - The spelling looks weird and too much but it sounds good.
Ok, here is my updated list:
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - I’m going to stick with this one, as I really love it.
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] - Again, I love it, but should I use [name]June[/name] instead in the mn spot?
[name]Emrys[/name] Liviana - I think this combo works better than willow
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - I’m going to keep because I love the sound
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - does the more classic middle work better?
[name]Isaiah[/name] ??? - yeah, you guys convinced me. I don’t want him to go through life introducing himself as “[name]Azaiah[/name], like [name]Isaiah[/name], but with an a-z instead of I-s” Are there any more unusual middles that would flow well with this? I was considering [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Amedeo[/name], but I felt like that was too many vowels.
Yes, I dropped Cagely. Everyone I mentioned it to brought up the word cagey like some one said… Oh well, it was a childhood obsession.
I’m really grateful to every one who commented. You have been very helpful.
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - Weslynn is interesting but combined with [name]Ivy[/name] it looks a bit Teen mom (which is totally cool since you’re in HS). It’s the repetition of y’s for me. [name]How[/name] about Weslin [name]Ivy[/name]?
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] - I think [name]Samaya[/name] [name]June[/name] has a stronger ring. However, [name]Jasmine[/name] is really nms so I might be biased.
[name]Emrys[/name] Liviana - Actually really liked [name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willow[/name] and would have suggested [name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willa[/name] as an alternative. (I prefer both over [name]Emrys[/name] Liviana)
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - I still think Xadrian looks made up and I find is a little awkward to say. [name]One[/name] of the best things about the nam [name]Adrian[/name] is it’s softer distinguished sound. The X just kills that. I’d [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Judah[/name] [name]Adrian[/name] as an alternative.
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - [name]Jamari[/name] is nms. I don’t think switching from [name]Amedeo[/name] (I’d have preferred [name]Amadeo[/name]) to [name]Samuel[/name] makes it better. Why not just stick to [name]Jamar[/name] or [name]Jamal[/name]?
[name]Isaiah[/name] ??? - is my favorite name off of your list. (Besides [name]Emrys[/name]) I think [name]Emrys[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name] would be very handsome on a guy. Otherwise [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] might be nice.
Girls list:
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - I don’t like Weslynn at all. [name]Ivy[/name] is gorgeous.
Cagely [name]Sophia[/name] - [name]How[/name] do you say Cagely? I have no idea at all. [name]Sophia[/name] is nice, but overused.
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] - [name]Samaya[/name] is rather nice, surprisingly. I don’t like [name]Jasmine[/name] but feel connected to it as it was meant to be my name.
[name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willow[/name]/Liviana - [name]Emrys[/name] is nice, but not on a girl. I like [name]Willow[/name] but not Liviana.
Boys:
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - Xadrian is…horrible, I’m sorry, there’s no other way for me to explain it. [name]Judah[/name] is okay.
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Amedeo[/name] - I don’t like [name]Jamari[/name]. [name]Amadeo[/name] is nice spelled this way.
[name]Azaiah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - Is this meant to be pronounced like [name]Isaiah[/name]? If so, I suggest using that spelling. [name]Samuel[/name] is okay, I suppose, just overused and boring.
Weslynn [name]Ivy[/name] - I like [name]Ivy[/name], I almost insisted on being called [name]Ivy[/name] as a nn when I was younger. Weslynn sounds pretty when spoken, looks terrible when written!
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name]/[name]June[/name] - I definitely prefer [name]Samaya[/name] [name]June[/name]. [name]Jasmine[/name] has never appealed to me.
[name]Emrys[/name] Liviana - I prefer [name]Emrys[/name] [name]Willow[/name], actually. Liviana is destined to be nicknamed [name]Liv[/name] which I’ve always been called and I can’t stand it. [name]Emrys[/name] is pretty and I think it works well on a girl.
Xadrian [name]Judah[/name] - I prefer [name]Adrian[/name] also. The “X” isn’t very nice sounding [name]IMO[/name]. [name]Judah[/name] is very handsome, I like it. [name]Judah[/name] Xadrian sounds better to me.
[name]Jamari[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] - Nms.
[name]Isaiah[/name] - My favorite name off of your list… [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] flows well.
Weslynn is horrendous, and I hope this is never used. [name]Wesley[/name] is completely masculine and ending ‘lynn’ is just so trendy and overdone.
Cagely is very, very bad. Why would you want the word ‘cage’ in your daughter’s name?
[name]Emrys[/name] is at least a name but a boy’s one.
[name]Samaya[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name] is by far the best girl’s name on your list.
[name]Jamari[/name] and [name]Azaiah[/name] aren’t too bad, sound pretty try hard though.
Xadrian isn’t a real name, so that makes it trendy. [name]Xander[/name] or [name]Xavier[/name] would be lovely.
I dislike most of the first names but what surprises me is that you have gorgeous names as middle names! [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Jasmine[/name], [name]Willow[/name], [name]Judah[/name] and [name]Samuel[/name] are all absolutely perfect.
[name]Judah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Sophia[/name] would be absolute perfection! Maybe you would like [name]Esme[/name] [name]Willow[/name], [name]Xander[/name] [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]?
I also need some help on middle names and name suggestions would also be appreciated!
Are there any more unusual middles that would flow well with this? I was considering [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Amedeo[/name], but I felt like that was too many vowels.
