My children’s names are [name]Corinne[/name] “[name]Cori[/name]” [name]Jane[/name], [name]Weston[/name] “[name]Wes[/name]” [name]David[/name], and [name]Keely[/name] “Keels” [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]. They go by [name]Cori[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Wes[/name] [name]David[/name], and [name]Keely[/name] [name]Jo[/name] a lot! We are thinking about TTC #4 this summer. What do you think of our name lists and which ones are you favorite with our kiddos? MN’s for a girl will be [name]Mae[/name]/[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] (family names) and for a boy will be [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] (honor both great grandfathers)

Sorry in advance for being kind of blunt, with my comments. There are some good options on here, though. My favorites are [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Juliette[/name] for girls and [name]Levi[/name], [name]Nash[/name], and [name]Graham[/name] for boys. Great names. I love the names of your other kids too!

Good luck!

Girls:

[name]Elin[/name] [name]Mae[/name]/[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - right now it reminds me too much of [name]Tiger[/name] Woods’ ex-wife and that bad connotation, especially since i’ve not heard it elsewhere

[name]Danica[/name] “[name]Dani[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - reminds me of [name]Danica[/name] [name]Patrick[/name], which is not a good thing

[name]Josette[/name] “[name]Josie[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - would prefer [name]Josephine[/name]

Boys:

[name]Cade[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - too close to the [name]Caden[/name]/[name]Aiden[/name]/[name]Braden[/name] fad for me, which is definitely a con
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - love!
[name]Grady[/name] “[name]Gray[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - Too close to “gravy” for me

[name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I’m not a big [name]Joel[/name] fan style-wise, but it’s a nice, solid name
[name]Bradley[/name] “[name]Brad[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - not a fan of [name]Brad[/name]/ley b/c it’s a bit dated and to me sounds a bit snooty, though that may just be me
[name]Quintin[/name] “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I see [name]Quinn[/name] as more of a girls name, but I like [name]Quentin[/name]
[name]Pierson[/name] “[name]Pierce[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - this is nice
[name]Jansen[/name] “Janse” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - i like [name]Jansen[/name], it’s different but kinda neat

[name]Leighton[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - [name]Leighton[/name] strikes me as trendy. Alternatives: [name]Layla[/name], [name]Lane[/name], [name]Landry[/name], [name]Lark[/name], [name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Hadley[/name] “Haddy” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I don’t love [name]Hadley[/name], but I love [name]Hattie[/name]/Haddy as a nn! What do you think of [name]Harriet[/name] or [name]Henrietta[/name], nn [name]Hattie[/name]?
Jaina “[name]Janie[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I like [name]Jane[/name], [name]June[/name], or [name]Junia[/name]
[name]Annsley[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I prefer [name]Ainsley[/name]. You could still use [name]Anni[/name] as a nn
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Ann[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - lovely
[name]Danica[/name] “[name]Dani[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I don’t love [name]Danica[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Daria[/name], nn [name]Darcy[/name]?
Quinley “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I prefer [name]Quinn[/name] on its own.
[name]Josette[/name] “[name]Josie[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - [name]Josette[/name] and [name]Josephine[/name] are both great in this pairing!
[name]Avery[/name] “[name]Ava[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - very nice
[name]Anniston[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I don’t love [name]Anniston[/name]. Some other names that get [name]Anni[/name] as a nn: [name]Annika[/name], [name]Anissa[/name], [name]Anwen[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] “[name]Juli[/name]” [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - very pretty
[name]Elianne[/name] “[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]” [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I like [name]Elianne[/name] and [name]Elianna[/name] in this pairing!

[name]Cade[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I like [name]Cade[/name] on his own, but he will share his name with a lot of Cadens
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Graham[/name]!
[name]Grady[/name] “[name]Gray[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I really like [name]Grady[/name]
[name]Levi[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I like this pairing
[name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - ditto
[name]Bradley[/name] “[name]Brad[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - it would be really refreshing to see a little [name]Brad[/name] running around!
[name]Quintin[/name] “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I prefer [name]Quinn[/name] on its own
[name]Pierson[/name] “[name]Pierce[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I prefer [name]Pierce[/name] or [name]Piers[/name] on its own. Have you thought about [name]Rhys[/name]? It has a similar sound/feel to [name]Pierce[/name] to me.
[name]Jansen[/name] “Janse” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - not my favorite
[name]Greyson[/name] “[name]Grey[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I like [name]Grey[/name]/[name]Gray[/name] on its own, but not [name]Greyson[/name].

[name]Maguire[/name] “[name]Guy[/name]” [name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] - not my favorite, but I like the idea of a “[name]Mac[/name]” with your kiddos: how about [name]Malcolm[/name], [name]Cormac[/name]?

[name]Elin[/name] - I like [name]Elin[/name] a lot.
[name]Elleigh[/name] - Too trendy for my taste.
[name]Leighton[/name] - I adore this name.
[name]Hadley[/name] - Becoming very popular, but I like it.
Jaina - [name]Don[/name]'t like.
[name]Annsley[/name] - I prefer the spelling [name]Ansley[/name]. [name]Annsley[/name] is too trendy. Again, this name has become very popular but I lie it.
[name]Maeve[/name] - I prefer it as a MN.
[name]Danica[/name] “[name]Dani[/name]” - Hate [name]Danica[/name]. It’s very harsh and reminds me of [name]Danica[/name] [name]Patrick[/name], who I don’t like. I adore [name]Dani[/name] though!
Quinley - Quinley is cute but I prefer [name]Quincy[/name] or [name]Quinby[/name].
[name]Josette[/name] “[name]Josie[/name]” - I don’t care for [name]Josette[/name] and I hate the nn [name]Josie[/name].
[name]Avery[/name] “[name]Ava[/name]” - I adore [name]Avery[/name] but hate [name]Ava[/name]. I don’t think [name]Avery[/name] needs a nn.
[name]Anniston[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]” - Automatically think of [name]Jennifer[/name]!
[name]Juliette[/name] “[name]Juli[/name]” - I prefer [name]Juliet[/name].
[name]Elianne[/name] “[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]” - Too made-up. I don’t like either nn.

I prefer [name]Maeve[/name] over [name]Mae[/name].

[name]Cade[/name] - Cute, but trendy and popular.
[name]Graham[/name] - Handsome, ages well.
[name]Grady[/name] “[name]Gray[/name]” - I like [name]Grady[/name].
[name]Levi[/name] - I like it, but don’t love it.
[name]Joel[/name] - It’s okay.
[name]Bradley[/name] “[name]Brad[/name]” - Classic and handsome. I don’t like the nn [name]Brad[/name] though.
[name]Quintin[/name] “[name]Quinn[/name]” - I like it okay.
[name]Pierson[/name] “[name]Pierce[/name]” - Not a favorite. There are better boy names.
[name]Jansen[/name] “Janse” - I love [name]Jensen[/name] for a boy. [name]Jansen[/name] sounds a bit girly.
[name]Greyson[/name] “[name]Grey[/name]” - Trendy and popular, but cute.
[name]Nash[/name] - I like.
[name]Maguire[/name] - I like it. It’s unique and strong.

[name]Hi[/name]! Best wishes as you approach the summer : D. [name]Hope[/name] the feedback and suggestions are helpful. I tried not to repeat too much, but know I may have. My top pick for a girl for you is [name]Maeve[/name], and I also like [name]Danica[/name], [name]Juliette[/name], and Jaina pretty well. My top pick for a boy for you is [name]Graham[/name] or [name]Grady[/name], and I also like [name]Quentin[/name], [name]Greyson[/name], [name]Levi[/name], and [name]Cade[/name]. All best!

[name]Elin[/name] [name]Mae[/name]/[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I like this pretty well. It does leave [name]Keely[/name] the only one without an -n ending sound. I like the suggestion of [name]Elinor[/name].
[name]Elleigh[/name] [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - If you want to name her this, I’d go with the spelling [name]Ellie[/name]. Sounds a lot like [name]Keely[/name] to me though. See [name]Elinor[/name]. Also [name]Elena[/name], and others. [name]Ellery[/name] might fit with your style, or [name]Ellis[/name], [name]Ellison[/name], or [name]Elise[/name]?
[name]Leighton[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - is too tied to the celebrity. I like another posters suggestions for alternates.
[name]Hadley[/name] “Haddy” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - this is OK although also tied to a celebrity. I think two -ly etc names is a lot.
Jaina “[name]Janie[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I like this a lot by sound at least. You know Jain is a religion, right? Be prepared for some people to think you have a connection to that. Jayna? Either name is kinda made up for me, but actually works pretty well with the set. [name]Johanna[/name] or [name]Joanna[/name] would be far more classic if you don’t want to just use [name]Jane[/name], and I think since you like a couple of [name]Jo[/name] names and the [name]Anna[/name] variants it might suit you? .
[name]Annsley[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - agree it’s better [name]Ainsley[/name], and kinda close to [name]Keely[/name]. I’d prefer [name]Ainsley[/name], or [name]Anna[/name], [name]Annabel[/name], etc.
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Ann[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. Irish like [name]Keely[/name], and [name]Weston[/name] and [name]Corinne[/name] are neutral enough. She’d fit in, and it’s a great name, distinct from the others but fitting with them and very sweet but strong.
[name]Danica[/name] “[name]Dani[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I like this fine. More Scandinavian than the sibs and girlier than the sisters to my ear, but that’s OK.
Quinley “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - Too odd, too much like [name]Keely[/name] for me.
[name]Josette[/name] “[name]Josie[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - it’s OK. More French than the sibs to my ear, but OK. I would agree with [name]Josephine[/name] being better, although again it’s a lot of -n names.
[name]Avery[/name] “[name]Ava[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - A nice balance - you’d have two ending with -n and two with -y etc. But different enough from [name]Keely[/name]. I like it. See also [name]Ellery[/name].
[name]Anniston[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - See [name]Annsley[/name] - I’d prefer [name]Annsley[/name], this is [name]Jennifer[/name]'s last name. Plus -n. [name]Emerson[/name], [name]Allison[/name], [name]Ellison[/name], etc would be better.
[name]Juliette[/name] “[name]Juli[/name]” [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. Although also very French, it’s a more familiar name than [name]Josette[/name]. I do think it’s much more feminine than the sisters.
[name]Elianne[/name] “[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]” [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] - I find [name]Eliana[/name] pretty, but think it sounds like Alien. This sounds even more like that, and you have another -n ending. So not my favorite.

Boys:

[name]Cade[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - A nice surname to go with [name]Weston[/name]. [name]Weston[/name] would be the only one without a c/k sound if you care.
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. A great fit. You can also nn him [name]Gray[/name].
[name]Grady[/name] “[name]Gray[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - A pretty good fit. I like the balance of [name]Corinne[/name] and [name]Weston[/name], [name]Keely[/name] and [name]Grady[/name].
[name]Levi[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this name, although more Biblical than the rest. Could work though.
[name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - this name feels dated to me, does it to you? Although I think it’s a family name, since you have it as a middle name once later? It’s OK with the others. I prefer [name]Joseph[/name], maybe [name]Jonas[/name], [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Josiah[/name].
[name]Bradley[/name] “[name]Brad[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - too much -ley for me.
[name]Quintin[/name] “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]…a lot of -n again, but OK. Think [name]Quentin[/name] is the more familiar sp?
[name]Pierson[/name] “[name]Pierce[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - This sounds kind of weak to me.
[name]Jansen[/name] “Janse” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - See above - nn [name]Jan[/name] might happen and that might be hard on him.
[name]Greyson[/name] “[name]Grey[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - I like this, but it’s pretty trendy. [name]Graham[/name] or [name]Grady[/name] feels more grounded.
[name]Nash[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] - This always makes me think of “gnashing of teeth”. What about [name]Nathan[/name] or [name]Nathaniel[/name] nn [name]Nat[/name] (or [name]Nash[/name], really)?
[name]Maguire[/name] “[name]Guy[/name]” [name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] - Mmm, too [name]Jerry[/name] [name]Maguire[/name] for me.

[name]Elin[/name] [name]Mae[/name]/[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – I like [name]Ellen[/name], but wonder if [name]Elin[/name] has too much [name]Tiger[/name] Woods baggage at the moment?

[name]Leighton[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – NMS, but nothing wrong with it.

Jaina “[name]Janie[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – NMS

[name]Danica[/name] “[name]Dani[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – [name]Danica[/name] is beautiful, but [name]Dani[/name] is dated.
Quinley “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – [name]Love[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]. Quinley seems a bit fussy.

[name]Avery[/name] “[name]Ava[/name]” [name]Mae[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – Cute though nms

[name]Elianne[/name] “[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]” [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Nicole[/name] – pretty

Boys:

[name]Cade[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – I love [name]Cade[/name]!!
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – I wish I knew a [name]Graham[/name] in real life. I can’t get my mind to wrap around how it would be on a real person, but I think I like it.
[name]Grady[/name] “[name]Gray[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – [name]Both[/name] [name]Grady[/name] and [name]Gray[/name] are cute. I think they are weird with [name]Guy[/name] though.
[name]Levi[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – Cute though a bit trendy
[name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – [name]LOVE[/name]! [name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] was my #2 choice if I’d had a boy.
[name]Bradley[/name] “[name]Brad[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – dated
[name]Quintin[/name] “[name]Quinn[/name]” [name]Robert[/name] [name]Guy[/name] – eh, just doesn’t oomph for me, but it’s not bad

[name]Maguire[/name] “[name]Guy[/name]” [name]Joel[/name] [name]Robert[/name] – I don’t care for this at all

[name]Elin[/name]: Think this would be an alright option. My suggestion would be [name]Elinor[/name] as a route to the nn [name]Elin[/name].

[name]Elleigh[/name]: Not a fan of this spelling. Would definitely suggest using the more traditional [name]Ellie[/name] or even [name]Elly[/name] and would use it as a nn only. My personal favorite would be [name]Elodie[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Elly[/name] but not sure how that sounds with [name]Keely[/name].

[name]Leighton[/name]: Feels too trendy for my tastes due to the popularity of [name]Leighton[/name] Meester

[name]Hadley[/name] “Haddy”: I personally like [name]Hadley[/name] and [name]Hattie[/name] as well (not sure about Haddy though) but in my opinion a nn fits better when it is different in length, style, or formality from the original name, otherwise it seems unnecessary. Maybe just go with [name]Hadley[/name] on it’s own? Agree it’s pretty close to [name]Keely[/name], though.

Jaina “[name]Janie[/name]”: I would suggest [name]Jane[/name] nn [name]Janie[/name], but since you’ve already used [name]Jane[/name], I’d scrap this one.

[name]Annsley[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]”: I would agree with this one if it were spelled [name]Ansley[/name] nn [name]Annie[/name]

[name]Maeve[/name]: Yes! [name]Love[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], even better that it’s a family name!

[name]Danica[/name] “[name]Dani[/name]”: I could go for this, but prefer a couple of others.

Quinley “[name]Quinn[/name]”: I like it, but would probably go for [name]Quinlan[/name] over Quinley.

[name]Josette[/name] “[name]Josie[/name]”: Like this one as well, but I think maybe since you’ve already used [name]Josephine[/name], there might be better choices.

[name]Avery[/name] “[name]Ava[/name]”: The extreme trendiness of both [name]Avery[/name] and [name]Ava[/name] make both names pretty unappealing in my opinion.

[name]Anniston[/name] “[name]Anni[/name]”: I don’t really understand the recent rise of [name]Anniston[/name]. Not a fan. I think there are a lot of better routes to [name]Annie[/name]. [name]Anabel[/name]? [name]Annelise[/name]? [name]Anastasia[/name]?

[name]Juliette[/name]: [name]Juliette[/name] is a good name, but I think the nn [name]Juli[/name] would ruin it! And would probably suggest the less tragic [name]Juliana[/name].

[name]Elianne[/name] “[name]Elle[/name]/[name]Ellie[/name]”: Eh, I’m neutral. As I mentioned above I prefer the formal name of [name]Elodie[/name] for the nn of [name]Elle[/name] or [name]Ellie[/name].

[name]Cade[/name]: I used to be a fan of [name]Cade[/name], but unfortunately the rise of [name]Caden[/name] has ruined it for me.

[name]Graham[/name]: Could work!

[name]Grady[/name] “[name]Gray[/name]”/[name]Greyson[/name] “[name]Grey[/name]”: Pretty trendy. I think I have a slight preference for [name]Greydon[/name].

[name]Levi[/name]: [name]Levi[/name] is a decent name, just personally have never really liked it for whatever reason.

[name]Joel[/name]: This could also work!

[name]Bradley[/name] “[name]Brad[/name]”: Eh, you have much better choices.

[name]Quintin[/name] “[name]Quinn[/name]”: I like it. As with the Girl list, I would also suggest [name]Quinlan[/name].

[name]Pierson[/name] “[name]Pierce[/name]”: I like it! This one probably gets my vote!

[name]Jansen[/name] “Janse”: Prefer [name]Jensen[/name] to [name]Jansen[/name] and more for a girl. Not a fan of Janse at all.

[name]Nash[/name]: I could warm up to this one, I think

[name]Maguire[/name] “[name]Guy[/name]”: Not a fan.
