Ellison or Sloane? Baby coming this week!

[vera rene]

My c-section just got bumped up a week and baby girl #2 will be here this week! My husband and I can't agree on a name.

Our daughter's name is Campbell and our last name is two syllables and starts with C. My fave is Ellison Lena (Lena is my Nana's middle name and my sister's name). Hubby likes Sloane; possibly with the middle name Emilia (another family name). Other names on the short list are Carrigan and Keaton. Since our first born's name is a unisex-surname name, I want to follow the same pattern with #2. The other issue is we are both teachers and that's eliminated many names. Help!

I like Sloane best with Campbell.

I like the combo Ellison Lena a lot, but the way the the "ell" sound is featured in both Campbell and Ellison makes them a little clashy, not concordant, to my ears. Campbell and Sloane are fab together; Sloane Emilia is lovely! Sloane Elena might honor Lena, too...

I think Cambell and Carrigan are a great match. Especially because your last name starts with a 'C', and well, both names are just fantastic!

I like Sloane. Even though you are going for unisex, I don't like names on girls that end in "son."

I like Sloane best, and Sloane Emilia is really pretty.

Ellison is so similar to Allison, I think they would be easily confused. There are also so many El- names out there--Elizabeth, Ella, Eliana, Eleanor, and so on--Ellison just sort of blends in with the crowd. Sloane is more of a standout choice.

I like Sloane Emilia a lot. I find that both Ellison Emilia and Ellison Lena sound too much alike. I don't really like Carrigan or Keaton. If you're open to some other options for the last name-inspired names, I really love Delaney- I think it goes nicely with Emilia. I also like Reese. However, these names lean more toward girly, and you seem to like more unisex-type names.

Reese was my top pick! Unfortunately, my husband had a Reese in class that caused him to never, never name a child that. We have friends whose last name is Delaney too.

Ellison Lena.

I think Campbell and Ellison are the best match.
