I am so nervous but excited and we have decided on a select few. Which of these are your favorites?
Boy names were the hardest. Opinions please on the name as what kind of guy can you imagine
[name]Layton[/name] [name]Timothy[/name]( my husbands name for middle)
[name]Shea[/name] daniel( middle name after my father)
[name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]
Girls
[name]Carys[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] ( my grandma)
[name]Carys[/name] christiana(my mom)
[name]Cecilia[/name] christiana
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Evonne[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Christiana[/name]
[name]Callaway[/name] [name]Christie[/name]( nickname [name]Callie[/name] or calla )
[name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] is my favorite!! I think of a smart boy who gets along well with other kids when I think of that name.
Of the girls I like [name]Cecilia[/name] the best, but I like it with [name]Evonne[/name]. I think [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] is beautiful! I also think [name]Carys[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] are pretty too!
[name]Love[/name] the [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] suggestion.
I dislike [name]Shea[/name] due to a negative association with that name. I would go with [name]Layton[/name]. Either middle name works and it is lovely they both have family associations! Good luck!
I’d go with [name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] or [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Christiana[/name]… or [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] (love that suggestion!)
Dear, have you thought about [name]John[/name] and [name]Mary[/name]? I kid. Whatever you do, it would probably mean the most to you and your kin if your little babes are named after them. My people are just like that. It serves as a continuity and besides those names age pretty well. Your first names are unique choices. Congrats.
Interesting comment,though I am not into typical names like [name]Mary[/name] or [name]John[/name] and all of my kids share family names as their middles. Thank you for the congrats

If I picture a grown up [name]Layton[/name], I imagine a rather serious, meticulous, straight-as-an-arrow type man. He wears button up shirts, has manicured nails, and works as a business professional. If I picture a grown up [name]Shea[/name], I think of a guy who’s a bit laid back, possibly athletic, not afraid of a bit of dirt under his nails, and a bit of a man’s man.
It’s a strange exercise to try to picture individuals with certain names, though, because once the name is actually attached to an individual, the meaning and imagery shifts in an instant. [name]Layton[/name] could easily be a rock climber, surfer dude, and [name]Shea[/name] could be a bio-chemist, so any initial images are rather inconsequential.
Regarding your girls’ list, have you considered [name]Calloway[/name] as a boy name, too? [name]Just[/name] wondering because I actually really like it on a boy.
From your list I really like [name]Shea[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] (or [name]Calloway[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]!), and [name]Carys[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] or [name]Isla[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] are both gorgeous.
[name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]Layton[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] are at the same level to me, I can’t decide!
As a [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Christiana[/name] is an awesome name! I also like the suggestion of [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Evonne[/name], though they do flow into each other.
I like [name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name], and can I suggest [name]Callaway[/name] [name]Evonne[/name]. I really like it, and think it flows beautifully. Congratulations on the child!
[name]Layton[/name] [name]Timothy[/name] and [name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]: Between using your dad’s name and your husband’s name; how are you suppose to choose between those?
[name]Shea[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]: This is a lovely combo. I really like it.
[name]Carys[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] and [name]Carys[/name] [name]Christiana[/name]: Again, how are you suppose to choose between two important people?
I think all of these are lovely combos.
[name]Cecilia[/name] christiana
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Evonne[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Christiana[/name]
[name]Callaway[/name] [name]Christie[/name]( nickname [name]Callie[/name] or calla ): I don’t like the double C in there, but that’s only my opinion.
[name]Layton[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] - solid, unique, and pleasing
[name]Carys[/name] [name]Christiana[/name] - I enjoy the alliteration
[name]Cecelia[/name] [name]Evonne[/name] - love this suggestion; it flows better
[name]Calloway[/name] ([name]Cal[/name]) [name]Daniel[/name] - also a great suggestion bc [name]Cal[/name] is one of my fave names (and [name]Cecelia[/name] is too)
I also think [name]Carys[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] are pretty too!
