Hi, I'm having my fourth child and when I first posted about this I got such a great response I thought i'd try again with my narrowed down list and see if anyone could help me out :)

My daughter's names are Adelyn, Gianna & Vivienne (Ady, Gia, Viv)

The boys list we have is
Declan, Landon, Alexander, Roman, Leo, Liam, Jack & Kellan
(middle name will be Jonathan, Michael or both- if this baby is a boy I think i'll be done having kids lol)

The girls list we have is (much more complicated of course!)
Elena (LOVE this, but i'm not sure if it "flows")
Rosalie
Caroline
Mila
Maxine
Elizabeth
Cassandra
Charlotte
Delilah
Shailene
Gabriella

help please! when I had my first daughter I knew her name immediately, second I knew the moment I saw it, third was a bit of a search but this one seems nearly impossible!

I'd appreciate greatly any help!

I think the middle name for a girl will probably be Kristen

What can I do next?

The way it sounds with your last name is most important, they will be said together more often than the first and middle. My favorite girl names from your list are: Cassandra, Charlotte, mila, rosalie, and Elizabeth. I liked another posters idea of not repeating initials! My favorite boy names (in order, favorite first, and including m for Michael or j for Jonathan): Landon m, jack m, kellan m, Leo j, roman m, Liam j, and Alexander j. Thanks for updating us, I always wonder what people finally pick!

Added: I do like the suggestion of Elle and think it fits nicely with your other names, could also be short for eliza, elizabeth, Elise. And no Liam Michael, the mms together don't flow! And dexter Jonathan is awfully cute too! Brooklyn is cute for a girl, but I think the hard k in Kristen breaks the flow of most of your girl options.

Elena Kristen is a very pretty name and when "Elena" is an adult it is still a very strong name, not cutesy. Rosalie is my second vote (Rose for short) but I'm not sure if it has the easy flow with Kristen but I think it sounds nice.
For the boys, I think Kellan and Liam both sound nice with Michael.
Best Wishes!

Not on your list, but I thought I'd throw it in there since I think it sounds good with the names of your children...what about Dash for a boy? As in Dash from The Incredibles, lol. It flows nicely with Ady, Gia, & Viv. You could even do Dash Michael.

Leo and Elena (EL) :I love your current daughters names, they are adorable!

This narrowing of the list is a great idea, this is how my dil picked my granddaughters name. She used some website that we all had to vote on the names, it was pretty cool.

Elaina was always our girl name. I spell it 'Elianna', it sounds like there should be two n's. I thought we call her Ella, but my husband came up with Lainey (well we still haven't figured out how to spell that).
I love Gabriella!

My favorites on your boys list are: Liam and Landon.
My favorites on your girls list are: Charlotte and Gabriella.
Another name that I think would fit in with your other daughters names would be Sylvanna.
Congrats on your new little one!

Boys...well, I'm biased, my son is Alexander, but there are so many "Alex's" out there now...and most of them are girls, so often if I say "Alex" people ask how old "she" is. Grrr (ok, I like the name Alexandra for a girl, but come on folks...stop making all the boys names girls names already! They won't have any left!)
That said, Kellan sounds like a girl's name to me, I guess because I have a friend with a daughter named Kellyn.
Girls, I love Elena. Another name I loved, but my Dh wasn't so into was Alina. similar, but different. Our daughter ended up being a Brooke...which I love but for you is not "flowy" by any means! =0)

Good look with #4!

Out of the boys names I like Liam the best...
Liam Michael or
Liam Jonathan Michael (you can shorten it to LJ, which I think is cute)
Out of the girls....
Mila Maxine (not sure why I just like it, lol)
I like Eliana over Elena as far as "flowing" names but if you like Elena maybe Elena Charlotte...I think names ending in A should have a middle name that doesn't.
Do you have a set middle name for a girl like you did with the boys names?
Edited...since the girl middle name is Kristen, Elena Kristen sounds nice!

Of the girls' names, I like the sound of Elena Kristen the best. For a boy, I love the name Liam Michael. You have alot of great choices, though! I guess alot depends on how they sound with your last name...good luck!

I like Jack and Kellan for a boy (both flow well with Michael as a middle name)

I also LOVE Elena for a girl! It sounds good with the middle name and I think it flows beautifully with your other girls' names. And to someone else's point, I agree that it'll work well for her as an adult, too.

Good luck! Time to put together the tally sheet for all these responses :)
