Thoughts on Kennedy?...

[mrsthibs]

My husband loves the name Kennedy, but I'm not sure... It's not that I don't like it, it's been growing on me, but I'm still stuck on Sloan, Charlotte, Scarlett, and Harlow.
What are you thoughts?
Any suggestions?

I'm loving Ivy, Emmanuelle, Rosabel, Audrey, and Cassandra for middle names... All are family names

[hayley88]

I think your suggestions are nicer! Particularly Charlotte. Kennedy doesn't appeal to me in sound or meaning.

Charlotte Emmanuelle
Charlotte Audrey

Maybe ?

I like Kennedy, but it's not a name I'd name my daughter. The meaning alone is enough to deter me.

I'd rather Charlotte or Scarlett anyday. Sloan and Harlow are not positive names to me.
Kennedy Cassandra would be nice, but I'd rather Kennedy in the middle if anything.

[raven1980]

I really like Kennedy, Scarlett, and Harlow.
What about:

Kennedy Rosabel
Kennedy Emmanuelle
Kennedy Scarlett
Scarlett Rosabel
Harlow Emmanuelle
Harlow Cassia -love!

I know it's becoming a filler, but I really like Kennedy Grace.

Too tied to the Kennedy family for me. And I really don't like them.

Other connection... the band the Dead Kennedys? Hmm. Well, it's certainly more euphonious than the Sex Pistols, I'll admit that.

I like Scarlett and Charlotte and most of your middle names much, much better, and I'd be promoting one of the middles to first before giving Kennedy a look in.

Suggestions: well continuing in the vein of Scarlett and Charlotte, there's Charlize, Violet, Juliet/Juliette. If the appealing side of Kennedy is the three syllable-end-in-eee-sound, I like Emily, Bryony, Coralie, Amity, Verity, Betony, Ione, Naomi...?

I like Kennedy, but I find it a bit dated where similar names like Kendall, Delaney, or Waverly sound fresher. I also prefer your choices over Kennedy.

[bigsweater]

Don't like Kennedy at all. Really prefer Charlotte.

I knew a little Kennedy once and she was the most precious little girl. While the name is mms, it has a positive association for me and I think it's cool. I like Kennedy Emmanuelle

[flick]

I really dislike Kennedy - too masculine and presidential for a little girl. I love Rosabel from your list.

Kennedy has a nice rhythm. It feels a little tired to me though - like Kenneth and Kendra and that VJ on MTV, Kennedy, in the 90s.
It could work OK though with the right surname. I think I like it more in the middle.
I've been thinking of some other Irish surnames I'd like maybe as names:

Sulloway
Galloway
Hathaway
Dunaway
Kerrigan
Nelligan
Madigan

Not sure they're that useable but I like the idea, especially Nelligan b/c I love Nell.

Some of the virtue names ending in -ity have a similar rhythm: Charity, Clarity, Verity, Amity
