The Final Decision

[alyssahayes]

Hi Berries! My husband and I have finally narrowed down our name list for our third baby. If it's a girl we have our top five names selected, which is good because I'm due in less than a week!

- Roslyn
- Natalia
- Lainey
- Blaire
- Brookley

What do you think of our top five? Which name is your favourite? What combination of a first and middle name would you choose? We also have a son named Colson Bennett and a daughter named Briar Avalon, so which name(s) do you feel go best with our children?

Thanks,
Alyssa

I like Natalia (though I prefer Natalie personally) and Blaire. With the other names, I'd definitely go with Natalia! Roslyn and Lainey are fine, just NMS. Don't really like Brookely, kinda trendy for me. I do like Brooke though!

I like Lainey with your sibset. Have you thought of it as a nn for Elena?

Natalia.

I prefer Rosalind / Rosaline.

Lainey & Natalia go best with your sibset. I really like Blaire but worry of it's similarity to Briar. I don't think either Roslyn or Brookley fits with your other children's names.

Rosalyn, Lainey (I'd go with Laine, and let Lainey be a nn. Lainey is a tough name for an adult.), and Blaire. Those sound really nice with your current kids' names.

Brookley is kinda strange - she'll be constantly correcting people who think it should be "Brooklyn". Maybe consider Brooklyn for the formal name, and use Brookley as a nn?

My recommendation is ...

Arden/Auden
Briar
Colson

... another two-syllable English unisex name with a similar attractively-formal-and-affluent feel.

I would go with Natalia, it's lovely

Roslyn - My runner-up out of your name; though I do prefer Rosalie/Rosalia
Natalia - My favorite out of your names; pretty, sophisticated, and uncommon.
Lainey -My little sister's name is Layne, and we call her Laynie. Strictly a cute nickname for me.
Blaire - I'm neutral on this one; not sure of what to think of it.
Brookley - Prefer it as a nickname for Brooklyn.

I think Roslyn and Natalia work the best with your sibset.

Roslyn-love
Natalia-very pretty though most people will mispronounce it I think
Lainey-LOVE, but my daughter's nn is Laney so I'm biased
Blaire-just not my style
Brookley-great alternative to Brooklyn

My suggestions:
Delaney Blair nn Lainey
Delaney Roslyn nn Lainey
Laine Brookley nn Lainey
Natalia Blair
Elaina Blair nn Lainey
