Welcome to my stop on the Rain Rain Go Away Blog Hop hosted by The Kids Did It  and The Mommy Island!

I'll be giving away $20 Paypal cash to one luck winner!

However, I desperately need your help-
I'm expecting my third little boy at the end of May and I am completely stuck on finding the perfect name! My other son's names are Jayden and Leelan, and I want a unique and uncommon yet pretty sounding name for the new baby (is that too many requirements? lol)
If you have any suggestions for some unique names, please comment for extra entries! I'm desperate here!

First... Congratulations!, and best wishes to you and your family.

On to the baby-naming! ...I LOVE brainstorming, so I will try my best to not get started! :p

This is tough, because I don't know your [family's] last name. With that being said, here are a few points that come to mind for me right away:

-- "Jayden" and "Leelan" have a similar cadence, rhythm, and structure. Each has six letters; each ends with an "n"... Whether you want to continue that trend (e.g., with the name "Craven"... that is not a suggestion-- just popped into my head, a la Wes Craven :p ) or not might be something to consider.
-- How/where did you find the inspiration for the first two names? (E.g., did you throw a dart at a huge wall, covered in pages from the phone book? are they inspired or taken from favorite songs/books? family/ancestors?) If so... As with my above point, is this something you'd like to continue, or from which you'd like to deviate?
-- Do your children have any suggestions? (I'm being serious.)
-- My personal thing: Making it impossible to spell = AAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! "Hello, my name is MicKayylaghhgh. That's capital M; I, C; capital K; A Y Y, L..."
-- A personal preference: A name that can lend itself easily to one or more nicknames. A easy example of this would be Elizabeth (e.g., Liz, Beth...).

.....Uh, I think I'll go enter your giveaway now. :)

But I like to think that when you've got the right one (note that I didn't say "the perfect one"), you'll feel it.

Again, congrats!
--Ann
P.S. I don't have any children, so please feel free to take this with a grain of salt. Or not. ...I do have two cats, though! Sam and Henry, and they are AWESOME.
P.P.S. If all else fails, tape some pages from the phone book up to a wall. ;)

My grandson is named Kohl. All their children's names start with a K, so they wanted his name to start with a K so instead of spelling it normally they spelled it KOHL.
