name thoughts?

[peaceinourtime]

Hiya,

That time has come when its time to start thinking about baby names. We are unsure of the sex.

For a girl I have always liked the name Unity, thoughts? I am aware of the likeness to Unity Mitford as many people think it reminds them of it. I think that Unity Mitford was so long ago and children if this generation won't know of the connection.

For boys names we like Rigby, thoughts?

Thanks all.

I can only hear Rigsby in Frances de la Tour's voice.

I like Unity. It's very unusual but not 'what the hell did I just hear?'' so that's a good balance.
Rigbeeeeee! is just too rising damp though!

What about Jacoby?

Nope, nope & nope from me.

Not that it matters but you did ask.

What about Magaly?

I didn't know that Unity Mitford was a nazi.

Caelidh is ok, I think it looks a bit sloppy when it's spelled any other way.

Kay is nice though. Kay Magaly with Kay Ly for short!
If you like Kaeli what about Eilidh? Eye-Lee

Sorry, Ceilidh is the spelling common to both Irish and scottish gaelic so I'd use that spelling.

Kaeli I would think immediately is quite a chavvy name (soz)

Unity I think is less clear on background. It's very unusual but there is a solidity to it, I don't mind it.

Digby is better than Rigby as it's a proper name.

I've never seen it spelt Kaeli - only Kayleigh like the song (I wasn't aware of the original Gaelic version). It's a nice enough name - not a particular fave of mine (as I tend to prefer classical names), but has a pretty sound.

Slight change of wind, what do you think of the name Kaeli pronounced Cayley?

I like Kayleigh and haven't seen it spelt like either of yours, I wonder if people would wonder if it's pronounced Kelly or Keyley on a quick look? Ceilidh to me is the dance rather than a name. I do love a good ceilidh tho

If you like Unity how about Verity or Honor which have a similar vibe.

Unity Mitford was a Hitler groupie. She was obsessed by him, basically stalked him until she managed to befriend him. And her final years were rather sad, long ill health with brain damage after she shot herself. it's not a great association.

And Rigby? Well Rigby & Peller - bra makers. Do you really want to saddle a boy with that?

Oh and Kaeli - she will be spelling it out her entire life. Keep looking.

I love different names, but have to say that I don't like these choices. The first two have horrible associations and don't sound very nice. The third one isn't a name, it's a misspelling, and like most of the new misspelt versions of names, sounds really rough.

Keep looking, I would suggest
