chipmonkey, funny you should suggest Maia...I know a sibling combo of Maia ans Leah!

And agree it is not necessary to comment on op's existing children's name....she put them up there in order for people to get an idea of names she likes/wants to match 3'rd dd's name with the other two....not have the fun poked out of them

chipmonkey · 23/03/2009 21:03

I do think it is uncalled for to comment on her other childrens' names, after all, she can hardly change them now, even if she wanted to!

Agree with LittleMissBliss, btw, I never told anyone the names until they were chosen and a fait accompli. I learnt my lesson on that when pg with ds1 and MIL slated all my girls name choices and put dh off all of them! Luckily ds1 was a boy or I would have been livid!

How about Maia?

There is a little girl in ds class called 'Rylee', aged 6, and i've always thought it was nice. And I know a lady called 'Bayley', and thats okay too! Just unusual.

singyswife · 23/03/2009 20:50

FWIW I actually know a little girl called Bailey. She really suits it and no one bats an eye lid when they hear it. She is lovely.

traceybath · 23/03/2009 20:44

Honestly baby names threads are getting worse than aibu ones.

People are just so mean and i agree with mrs woolf that its bad form to criticise existing children's names. I also understand why the OP mentioned them - she wants a name that works with them.

But back to the point - Georgia is lovely.

I have to say, I do love the way some people are trying to carry on on this thread as if there is no arguing or catcalling going on whatsoever...

LittleMissBliss · 23/03/2009 19:49

I know it's horrible when someone insults a name choice. It is a very personal thing. I won't be telling anyone in RL untill this LO is born, its harder for people to be rude when the baby is born. (although that is not always the case as you have seen on this thread)

Please don't take it to heart. These people don't know you and it is completley your choice. Even if it isn't a great hit on mumsnet

At least Apple wasn't in your list of choices

Please don't get upset you did ask!
You also stated be honest.
We are not bullying just suggesting that maybe using more conventional spellings may be the way forward.

This is a bit like an AIBU thread where the OP is convinced they aren't. Its all a matter of opinion. You will name your little girl what ever you and you dp think is best and i'm sure it will suit her. Please don't get cross.

Can i once again say, i am not making up the spellings of these names, it is how i have seen them spelt on websites or in baby name books.

It wasnt aimed at you LittleMissBliss, didnt mean any offence.

I'm just being honest.

I wanted a name that would sound ok with the other two, that is the only reason i put their names on here.
I didnt think that so many people would go out of their way to be awful about them.
You must have a really boring life to go out of your way to be a bitch to someone you dont even know. I dont worry how my children will grow up because of their name or how it is spelt. I can imagine how yours will be if they take after you, theyl be the bullys at school that obviously never learnt that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing!

LittleMissBliss · 23/03/2009 19:36

really Bayli is a legit way of spelling Bailey?

Bali... that would def always be pronounced like the place.

What about just Bay?

Kaitelyn with an 'e'.

Well i tjink they will look miss-spelt to many people.

rubyslippers · 23/03/2009 19:33

Georgia - lovely name

LittleMissBliss · 23/03/2009 19:33

I think maybe Brooke or Gracie/Grace would work best out of the names you have chosen.

morningpaper · 23/03/2009 19:32

Georgia and Grace are nice

I have not made up any spellings of names, i have looked at names on web sites and that is how they are spelt. I wasnt trying to raise and issue with spelling!

OP posts:
CoteDAzur · 23/03/2009 19:28

If you are so sensitive about people commenting on your DDs' names, you shouldn't have mentioned them.

They have no bearing on your question re name for your next baby, anyway.

Where does it say comment on the names of the childen i already have?

OP posts:
LittleMissBliss · 23/03/2009 19:25

I agree with spelling names correctly. i always when i see made up different spellings. You can have an unusual name and spell it correctly.

Supercherry · 23/03/2009 19:19

A polite honest opinion is 'I like it' or 'I don't like it' or words to that effect. The op didn't ask for opinions on her children's names- just on possible names for her unborn. I think it is pretty obvious when you are going to offend someone on here and to do so intentionally is rather mean.

CoteDAzur · 23/03/2009 19:19

Alexis is a boy's name. It means "defender".

Sasha is also a boy's name. Nickname, rather. It is the short form of Alexander in Russia. (like the guy poisoned in London)

If you like Bailey, you might also like Chardonnay.

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 23/03/2009 19:11

You didn't ask for ideas, you asked for 'honest opinions'.

I don't think you wanted honest opinions really
