Hi, we're due in early december. We already have a name picked out if it's a boy, but it's killing us trying to find a "perfect" middle name if it's a girl. We like the name Leila for the first name and we're trying to find something that is two syllable, with the emphasis on the second syllable for a middle name (like Michelle, Marie, Nicole, Renee, etc etc etc). We just don't want anything too common though, and nothing that sounds like a stripper. lol lol

oh, and I forgot.. daddy isn't going for "sporty" names like Casey and Jordan, and he prefers something starting with a vowel, and preferably of Irish origin! haa haa haa I know, he's being really picky on this one, that's what's killing me.

Gee, a lot of people didn't read the details. Starting with a vowel, two syllables with emphasis on the second, not too common. How about...

Ashlyn, Riley, Kayleigh, or a playful name of the sort. Those are the kind a kid--depending on their personality, but most of the time--is proud to won because they're fairly unique but not strange, and nice-sounding. I'm not sure how you like their sounds with Leila, but I personally think Ashlyn sounds great with Leila. Good luck and congrats. ;)
Check out babynamesworld.com--I'm not associated with it, but it's definitely a good place to look, it's got a lot of good tools (yes, there are online 'tools' for baby naming! :) basically, you can have a list of favorites and rate names) and it's fun to look at. It's got origins, meanings, and more... there are some sttrraaangggee names on there, but they have just about everything. ;)
Again, good luck and congrats!

Rose or Rosie, Cathy (Kathy), Therese, Diane, Olivia (sorry 4 syllables) Debra, Jade, Jamie, Jane, Patrice. What kind of background is your family? That might also help for a start. Also, consider some greek names or biblical names. I.e. Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War (lol)

Leila Shantelle......
pronounced Shan (like fan)....and Tell ( tell me about it)
That's really pretty.
I am Treva...and have had to spend my whole life answering to
Teresa, Trevor, Trev va, Tressa....etc...
It's simple phonics: Tree'-vuh
Pronounced to rhyme with Reba like in McIntyre the country singer.
Except, I was born waaay before Reba...lol
At any rate, I like Leila Shantelle

How about Leila Topaz...I thinks its December's birthstone or how about Leila Diamond ...since you probably found out the good news about your pregnacy sometime in April and Aprils birthstone is diamond.
