Trying to Lock in on a Name
This has truly been a struggle for me. Currently, I have two boys and both have unisex names that can have gender specific alternate spellings Aaron K and Kameron A. I wanted to stick to this trend because both my husband and I have unisex names as well, Kelly and Aaron. And, if you haven't noticed, I also like sticking with K and A names (for first and middle initials), lol....plus I like somewhat rhymy-sibling names. SoOo... just before Christmas I felt like I had a epiphany on a name for my baby girl. I really like Adrienne Kelsey-Rae. For me, Adrienne has its boy name counterpart, Adrian, but still has a feminine ring to it and sounds similar in ending sound to Aaron and Kameron plus it starts with an A. Kelsey, as a reference to my name because I've always been nicknamed Kels and Rae as a namesake to my father.
When sharing with family and friends I've gotten mixed reviews for this name. I've been on numerous baby name websites and have looked at blogs that reviewed all the names I've selected. I also swore I'd never give any of my children two middle names because I have two middle names myself and it was brutal when filling out scantrons in school and I become winded just from saying my whole name. And, my mom had this outrageous idea that I would hyphenate my maiden last name with my married one...giving me a grand total of five names, needless to say that didn't happen. But, I still like Kelsey-Rae because it doesn't feel like a long drawn out middle name even though it's two names.
Sorry, this has been a journey to read, but a lot of thought has gone into it and now I'm second guessing it all. I'm open to any comments or even name suggestions if you completely hate this name. Also, let me know if the name sounds feminine enough, as I shared earlier I've been a boy mom for years now and this is the first time I'm attempting to name a little girl.
