For a girl, What do you think of:

Boys:
Campbell
Xander
Hudson
Cooper

Girls:
Paisley
Zaria
Payton
Harper - too Beckham?

Any other suggestions?

If you are coming on to tell me how awful a name Addison is, too late! She's 3 now and suits it perfectly so clearly we have different tastes Wink

What did you decide on in the end??

Hashtagwhatever · 25/07/2013 23:59

Kennedy
Perris
Preston

I know a very pretty 14 year old Paisley. It's a very unusual name, but does suit her well.

Harper I would not consider - people will definitely assume you have been 'inspired' by the Beckhams.

Payton I strongly dislike. I know someone with a little Peyton & I'm afraid I cringe whenever they say her name Blush. It's just yuck.

How about Riley for a girl? I prefer it as a girl's name than a boys TBH.

Addison and Sheffield was a sibling combination that made news in Chicago one time. It is the location of the Chicago Cubs baseball park. The parents were big fans.

Hashtagwhatever · 25/07/2013 22:02

I like Paisley and payton.

What about Riley for a girl?

CrayolaLola · 25/07/2013 22:01

If it's a boy, then probably best not to call it Lee Wink

CormoranStrike · 25/07/2013 21:58

Kendal

MrsPresley · 25/07/2013 21:41

I like Addison, it's my dads name, I've never come across anyone else with it Smile

mathanxiety · 25/07/2013 21:37

She already has an Addison. She is looking for a sibling name for her.

mewkins · 25/07/2013 20:46

Hmm should probably be Abel

mewkins · 25/07/2013 20:46

Eddison for a boy. Prefer it to addison.
Also like Avery or Able for boys

Not keen on surnames for girls names for some reason

I'm also loving most of manicinsomniac 's list - except Madison and Addison. Please don't :)

Another suggestion - Addison and Imogen is cute? Addy and Immy?

SelectAUserName · 25/07/2013 10:20

I like manicinsomniac's list of alternatives for a girl, especially Dakota, Morgan and Piper. I think they all work well with Addison.

karinmaria · 23/07/2013 13:41

A friend of mine is called Kacey, which is nice.

NowPlayingZone · 23/07/2013 13:30

Anderson
Clark
Asa
Deacon
Blaine
Boyd
Baxter

mathanxiety · 21/07/2013 07:12

Boy - Marshall?
Girl - Paige?

Eastpoint · 21/07/2013 06:11

Piper - girl

Boy
Lyon
Sloan
Walker
Mitchell

Hudson and Harper are the best of your list.
Paisley is absolutely awful. Why would you want to be named after an ugly pattern?

manicinsomniac · 21/07/2013 01:53

I like all your suggestions except for Paisley.

They've already been suggested but my immediate thoughts for another girl were Avery, Kennedy, Kendall, Aubrey, Bailey, Taylor and Emery and for a boy, Parker, Austin and Carter.

Otherwise:

Boys:
Ashton, Caleb, Cory, Jesse, Tyler, Phoenix, Maddox, Mason, Porter, Preston

Girls:
Adalyn, Aubrey, Brooklynn, Briley, Brynn, Cleo, Dakota, Farryn, Falon, Genesis, Gracelyn, Jordan, Jayla, Jada, Jazzlyn, Kayla, Kendra, Kenzie, Madison, Morgan, Piper, Payson, Rowan, Reagan, Riley, Reese, Sutton.

ChristineDaae - yes there is an Addison and a Cooper in Private Practice. (If you're a Grey's Anatomy fan, how is it you've never watched PP as well? It's a spin off - despite everyone sleeping with everyone else in it, I quite like it :) )

Jellyhandsandfingers · 21/07/2013 00:38

Aubrey/Aubree for a girl?

Math I like a lot of names on your lists! Quite a few on there that we scrubbed for particular reasons but a few we haven't thought of
