What is in a Name?

Well we are having a hard time coming up with a name that we agree on! So we finally decided that we would poll anyone who would like to participate. Wyatt seems to think he can get names for his girls out of a map, so I don't really love them. I will just post our top ten and please feel free to comment on what you think, no harsh feelings will be felt. We will appreciate the help if this really works!

1. Morenci
2. Lani
3. Arcadia
4. Jori
5. Nikelle
6. Rayni
7. Alexi
8. Rya
9. Aspen
10. Jolee

Hey Dawn, this is fun! Your goofy brother Ray would like to add to the list: Shaniqua, Rosarita, Hikalena, Lingshai and after some studying he will be coming up with a Hebrew name too. As for me, I'm going to go with Rayni but Ray really likes George too! Good luck with that! :)

I think that I like Lani the best with Rya & Rayni coming in 2nd & 3rd. Good luck choosing. I think it might be a little easier when you see her. Who knows...there is always a chance she could be a he :)

Hey Dawn! I found you on Melindas page and your little girl is so cute! We are having the same problem with names as you are, except my husband doesn't have any and doesn't like the ones i come up with! But I like Jori on your list, that is too cute! Good Luck! When are you due?

I think I like Lani, Jolee, and Nikelle. You will have to pronounce that last one for me, but it seems like it would be so cute and different!
Good luck! Love ya girl!

well I think it's weird someone else likes Morenci. My 2 oldest boys are Hayden and Joseph both cities in AZ so when I had my first girl I wanted Morenci so bad, but my husband wouldn't budge.

So I like that and Lani best, I really dont only like one and that is Arcadia. So that is my opinion from someone you have never met :) lol

Devin and Melinda said...

We were there not too long ago! I think girls are harder to name than boys. Anyway, I like Lani and Jolee the best I think. Good luck!

Cute names! Man- I am really going to have to think about this one and get back to you! :) Lani was the first one that jumped out at me because it is so cute, yet not everyone has it. I'll have to look at the list again. Your slide show is so cute!

Evvie Turley said...

Hey Dawnie! Dan and I think the best names on the list are Lani and Jolee. How many more days til she comes out? We're thinking of you all...

Luv ya,

Dan and Ev

My favorites are Jori, Lani and Jolee. I think those 3 sound really cute with Jessi's name too:) Good luck! Names are hard to agree on in my house too!

Sorry, I just had to comment again on the name Aspen. Be sure and consider the possiblities of people trying to shorten names. It could be rough for a little girl;)

Well these are my two cents because I know Celeste will have a different opinion. We seem to be having the same problem as you and Wyatt. I was glad to see you didn't have our top three choices. But here are my top three for your baby girl. Rayni is a cool name. Aspen I threw by Celeste, it did not fly very well but I like it. And Alexi would be my other choice. I like Alexis but like the short version of Lexi the best. Good luck with the names.

I really like Lani and Alexi. Alexi is just so cute and girli! I would name one of my girls Alexia but thats my cousins name. But good luck finding the name! I love figuring out we are going to name our babies.

Dawn,

Hey! It's your cousin (kinda). I found your blog - actually a lot of my white mountain friend's blogs and was so excited! Your family is so cute and congratulations on another girl! My vote is for first Lani and second Nikelle. So happy to have found you.
