Liesha? Come tell me

[RagingHormone]

What do we think of Liesha? Lacey? Libby? Lainey? Taree? Brooke Marie?

Planning to get pregnant in 3 months.

And then 3-5 months after I have that baby.

Sorry. Another one in the "no, no, no except for Libby as an abbreveiation for Elizabeth" camp.

But each to their own and you don't need to pay any heed to what mad old biddies on the internet think.

If you like Leisha, what about Alicia or Elisha? They sound more like "finished" names to me, and are easier to spell.
Libby is okay, but the rest are awful - sorry. Although Marie is part of my DD's name, and it does incorporate with lots of other nice names.

I'd put Elizabeth on the bc. I like Beth, Libby, Eliza, Elsa.

I know it's considered nasty by some to say the word chav, but it's just meant as shorthand for "this name gives the impression that the child hails from an under privileged uneducated sort of background."

ps, maybe it's crazy or sad that people pick up clues from names, butthat's the way it IS.

There's no point getting angry about it.

Use the information available to your advantage BEFORE you name your child.

My daughter is Aoife and it is not pronounced Ef-eee it is pronounced E-fa (the o is silent and you pronounce it from the back ) one thing I will say about it is no one can spell it and if they do not have Irish connections they do not know how to ssay it..

Other lovely Irish names are

Niamh
Maeve (what our dd nearly was named)
Ciar
Fenella (dd goes to school w a Fenella first time I got to hear of it I think it is lovely)
Grania
Keena
Keelin
Orla
Saoirse
Tierney
Una

If you like Irish names perhaps you will like Welsh ones too here are some suggestions

Angharad
Anwen
Bethan
Bronwen
Cerys
Elin
Iola
Megan
Nia
Rhian
Sian

I haven't heard the names Liesha, Lainey or Taree before and I think if names are unfamiliar you can really only go on whether you like the sound. I'm not perticularly taken by Liesha or Lainey soundwise. Taree could grow on me though. Sounds like a fantasy heroine's name.

Lacey I quite like. Have a nice family member with connections to this name.

Libby's fine. Contrary to you, I like the name Elizabeth, but I completely agree that there's absolutely no point in putting it on the birth certificate if you don't like it! Libby's a perfectly good name in its own right.

Brooke - no, not keen.

Btw I really like the name Brooke I think it is pretty
