Expecting in January

[rachel27]

1. Tesla*^ - I like this one a lot. Sounds lovely with your son's name, I think Tess is a cute nn, and is more grown-up than Tessa.
2. Nova*^ - prefer Tesla, but this one is fine. Unusual without sounding trashy.
3. Petra*^ - really cute. It's a bit masculine sounding to me, but that's just me.
4. Liora^ - prefer your other ones.
5. Zahara^ - meh, nms
6. Willow* - not a huge fan of this one, but I see the appeal- pretty and soft and graceful
7. Ellowyn^ - so pretty... I really like it. I have a friend named Arolyn, which sounds similar, but I love this.
8. Shoshana^ - I don't really like this
9. Doveva^ - I don't really know how to say this one
10. Ramona - love this name! It's my mil's name and I might use it as a middle.

12. Vivienne* - beautiful, energetic and elegant
13. Heidi* - really cute and sweet

16. Adelaide* - LOVE this...one of my favorite names
17. Lydia^ - I like this name quite a bit
18. Shelby^ - I don't like this one...feels dated for a girl (but would be cute on a boy)

These are the ones that I love; Matilda, Francesca, Florence, Evangeline, Edith, Ophelia, Autumn, Beatrix, Saffron, Heidi, Vivienne, Shoshana, Willow and Liora - these are all beautiful.

I remember one of your previous posts and I took up an issue with Onnaliese but this was because I have a friend named Anneliese and she suffers from so many horrible nicknames that have got worse as she got older so it was more to warn you.

My favorites are Vivienne, Beatrix, Edith and Natalia - out of those, I think Edith goes best with Laikon. When I say them together they have a very pleasing sound - plus, the others sort of seem like more "standard fare" next to the unusual Laikon.

2. Nova*^ - Pretty! and I think this goes well with Laikon

6. Willow* - love this name too.

8. Shoshana^ - this name is a new favorite of mind and Shoshana Elizabeth is gorgeous

10. Ramona - big fan of this name

12. Vivienne* - pretty name

13. Heidi* - I like this one a lot too and another name that I think sounds very good with Laikon

15. Anna-Margolette* - Gorgeous combination

17. Lydia^ - new favorite name of mine too.

20. Autumn-Claire* - another pretty combination name, love.

22. Ophelia^ - such a pretty name too

24. Coraline*^ - I like this one as well, though admittedly she'll probably have trouble with people constantly mispelling it, but that's not a big deal.

27. Temperance^ - I like this one a lot too, not sure if it sounds the best with Laikon though.

28. Edith^ - Edie and Laikon are cute together

30. Evangeline*^ - another pretty name

32. Felicity* - I like this name a lot too.

35. Francesca*^ - Love this name.

36. Matilda*^ - love this name too, haha. Though, that being said, it's another name that I'm not sure it goes that well with Laikon - something sounds a little off with the flow

41. Phoebe* - I like this name with Laikon a lot too.

44. Michaela*^ - another pretty name

48. Miranda*^ - I like this name a lot too

50. Louisa^ - sweet, pretty name and louisa and laikon work well together too.

Meh, the alternative spellings aren't a massive deal to me, unless they're totally out there and crazy. I will mention something about Onnaliese that is merely practical: in the UK, Onnaliese would not be pronounced like AAAH-nuh-leese, it would be more like UN-uh-leese because of the O. Well, not quite an un sound - it's really difficult to describe. Anyway if you stay in the US forever this won't be a problem but Brits will struggle to say it properly because our accent doesn't really allow "ON" to be "AAHHN". I'm not asking you to change your mind on the spelling (I actually kind of like it) but I just thought you should know.

At any rate, I like:
Tesla
Nova
Liora
Zahara
Willow
Ramona
Onnaliese
Vivienne
Heidi
Saffron
Adelaide
Celestine
Coraline
Evangeline
Olympia
Felicity
Natalia
Florence
Matilda
Zinnea
Roxanne
Nadine
Louisa

A note on Onnaliese VS Annaliese. It's not so much a spelling thing for me as a pn thing. I didn't notice before, but are you pronouncing it like Annaliese? Because if you are then I think you should go with the a for pn sake. I thought it was pronounced OH-na-lees, since it is spelled with an O and not an A. I'm sure a lot of people will do the same....

I like a lot of your names but I think Nova, Saffron, Willow and Liora fit the best with Laikon.

[kathrynsarah]

Out of the ones that you and your husband like, I like Matilda the best (it's one of my top names!) and after that I like Miranda. Good luck!

[flick]

I actually quite like a majority of your list. Felicity is my favorite - something like Felicity Odessa would be great.
