I’m opposite. I usually like & stick to the spelling I saw on a name originally, which was Everleigh.To me, Everleigh looks like a name & Everly looks like a words with an added suffix.Everleigh is obvious- Everly could be ever-LYE. I really like Everleigh.To be honest, Everly looks rather pretentious to me

I do not like Adele at all & everytime I see Addie I think of algebra- which I hate.
I do like Roman & his middle – so exotic!

I like the fact that Mina’s kids aren’t all an obvious theme or style – it means that she chooses what she likes.She truly loves the names & to me, it makes her seem more open minded than a person whose names all have to be of the same style

I have been in Texas where I was born and raised., though I am in Wisconsin currently. It is my stepmother’s middle name. I was not aware that it was popular for anyone under the age of 50 these days.

No, this would definitely be for baby/toddler.

Where have you been? Rae/Ray has been big in the South for many, many years. I know three people in my generation with the mn Rae. My step-cousin (Northerner) just had a baby Finley Ray (girl) and I know two toddlers from below the Mason-Dixon line with Rae and Raye as their middle names!

Well, Kat – it isn’t YET as common as Rose. It just seems to be popping up more and more in celeb circles. I wouldn’t consider Ray unusable at all – just not rare. But I feel your pain!

My (Venezuelan) sister-in-law has a sister named Ledi – pronounced like Lady. I think it is the kind of nn that could be sweet on a little girl, but not wear very well on an older child or adult.

Ray/Raye/Rae is the new Rose????

*despairs*

I give up. I thought I had really found something there (we had chosen that for our middle, after 7 months of waffling), especially because it’s a family name. I was all excited that we finally found a middle name we liked as much as Rose, but not as crazy popular.

Why not Lady as a nn for Adelaide? Is that cute or awful?

Marilyn, Adelaide nn Daisy is a stretch perhaps, but I’m also a fan. So too am I a fan of Marguerite nn Daisy. Enough that it was also on my list of considerations this time. Somehow Marguerite is still too clunky or something though, even for me.

Abby, if I were you I would consider Barbara nn Basia quite seriously. Basia sounds so great with Alexei/Aly & Clio, but then again so do Romy and Daisy. Please have another, just so you can name him or her? Please? ;-D

-leigh names need to be added to the Deadly series methinks.
