UGH why do we keep having kids when we know it is s truggle to come up with a name?!?!? LOL

Anyways~ we decided to start early this time around in the whole name picking department hoping it wouldn't be a down to the wire type of decision like in the past. But we are really struggling,nothing is sounding like ' the one '  :(

For a boy I want a name that will tie in Zachary's name with the other boys,Ryan,Liam and Aiden. Zachary seems like the odd man out y/k?

So on our list (for now,it has changed and been scribbled on so much I need to start a fresh list soon!) are the name... Isaiah,Alexander,Zander    Ryan is really stuck on Blake right now but it doesn't seem to go with any of the boys' names.

We will use Joseph as the middle name :)

for girls we would still like to go with a name with a K in it like the other girls' names...don't have a middle name picked yet...

Makiya,Kendall,Nikole,Breckin,Kennedy,and Malakye

So thoughts..suggestions...any that you think are too weird with the other kids' names...HELP!!!

Ohhhhh, names!!!! :-)

Boys-
I really do like Alexander. I also like Isaiah. Zander- I'm sorta' on the fence about, but I see why it's in the running! Hmmm... others that may "go with" Zachary: Gabriel, Nicholas, Jackson (but wouldn't work with the middle name)

oh, I think you made a great choice on the middle name. I love the name Joseph :-)

Girls-
I like Kendall and Kennedy. I also like Brooke

Ooh I love talking about names!

For boys - I like Alexander and Blake.  I think they both go well with the other boys names because they have a shorter or a longer length than Ryan, Liam, Aiden and they have a modern feel like their names.  I think Isaiah is a great name but I think it is a bit too old fashioned to flow with the other names.  I like Zander but I think it is not as classic as the other names.

For girls - I like Kendall but I think having another name starting with a K might make Makenzie feel a little left out.  I think Makiya is a bit too close to Makenzie.  I like Nikole or Kat's suggestion of Brooke.  A few other names with Ks are:  Brooklyn, Erika, Skylar, Jessika, Annika, Danika.  Another way to make the names flow would be to choose a name that starts with M because then you would have two Ks and two Ms for the girls.  Ideas:  Madison, Marissa, Melody, Monika, Misha, Marina. 

Good luck!  Choosing names can be so difficult!
