So I think we finally have this name thing at least half way figured out.

If Squishy turns out a boy he will be:

Donovan Bjørn Williams Lastname

For a girl we have two options:

Jordan Eleida Raine Lastname 

or 

Kayelyn Eleida Raine Lastname 

I'm honestly not totally overjoyed with either of the girls first names but they are currently top of the list.

Opinions or any awesome girl name suggestions?

I like Eleida. Any reason not to switch it around and do Eleida Jordan Reine? That way you get the more unique name for her first, but it still flows nicely...

I like prettylisa's suggestion!

[pookahjade]

Lol I didn't think of that. I do like the way Eleida Jordan Raine flows. I'll have to run that one past DH

[daylicious]

I also like Eleida as a first name. I think Jordan as a first name is nice, but a litte plain. Eleida Jordan Raine sounds great!

Kayelyn is a very popular name where I live. Perhaps not with that same spelling, I see a lot of Kailyn, Kayla, Kaylin, and other variations. I substitute taught all last year and it is very widely used. I love Prettyisa's suggestion, and Jordan is a great name for a girl.

Have to add myself as another one that loves prettyisa's suggestion!

Continuing the chorus of "Eleida". How would Kayelyn be pronounced? Kay-lin or Kay-ell-en? If it's the 3 syllable version I prefer that to Jordan, but I think the spelling should be clearer.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Sunflwr: I hadn't even noticed that it 'could' be pronounced any other way than kay-lin.  My aunt's name is Kaye and my mother's middle name is Lyn so I just stuck them together.

I thought that might be what's going on. My mom did that for my middle name, Reann. Pronounced ray-ann but half the time people reading it (likeSUBMIT at graduation) say reen. Ashley Reen? I don't think so.
