I feel like time is running out and I still haven't decided on baby names. I have some picked out but can't decide. I wanted to be original, or at least not have names like Jenny and Michael. Nice but overused. I have Camryn Elizabeth for a girl and Hayden Alexander for a boy. I like the names but am aware that the middle names are pretty common. Any advice or suggestions for something different? Or if you like them, I'd feel better knowing that, too. Thank you!

I like the names. Something to keep in mind: Their middle names are 4 syllables so it works if your last is short but if its long I would try a shorter middle name. I love classic middle names: my daughter is Hayley Elizabeth and son Caden Michael (Elizabeth after a great grandmother and Michael after his father). If its original your going for Hayden is becoming quite popluar so your going be hearing it more often but I think its a cute name for him when he is young and a strong name for him when he is older. Keep in mind: A childs name should take them from childhood to adulthood. Both names you picked out do that. I remember when I picked out my sons name I was so nervous that everyone would hate it cuz I had never heard it before until he was born and everyone had a child or grandchild namded caden.. its always nice to be reassured that the name you picked isnt too far fetched and wierd so hope this helps reassure you.
Some people try to go for outrageous spellings which isnt a good idea. Even my daughter has a hard time with people spelling her name wrong and she gets frustrated. The spellings you have chosen are great!

I think it's a great idea to use names that are familiar but classic as middle names--both Elizabeth and Alexander fit that definition. It seems to me there's a reason those names get used a lot: they're great names! I like your choices for first names too, but I'll warn you that Hayden is pretty common these days. Go ahead and use it if you prefer it, though! You never know what's going to be the popular name of the year and you can't predict. My husband and I weren't sure if it was really a good idea to name our son Finn--it seemed a little "out there". Since our son was born, we've met SO many Finns! In your place, I'd wait for the baby's birth, then see which of your chosen names really fits the baby abd then trust your own judgement. All the best.

Some people wait to see the baby before they decide on a name. There is nothing wrong with calling the baby "baby" for the first few days. I don't know why people think this is sooo wrong..the kid's never going to know!
Have about 3 or 4 choices for both genders and then while you are bonding with your baby decide which one works.
Both names you have picked are lovely by the way, but only you will know if it fits when you see the child! Good luck.

I like them. Although they are more common now than they were 15 years ago. I know of a couple of kids that have those first names. Funny thing is if you really want to be more original go back about 50 years and find some of the most popular names then.

Those are nice names. If you like them and they flow well with your last name, then I see no reason not to use them. If you are still undecided, some people wait until they see the baby to make the final decision.
I had my baby's name picked before I even got pregnant, it was that way with the first one too. We all do it different.

I love the names you've chosen. I think having a more modern first name with a more traditional middle name is a good idea...because you want the child's full name to be easy to remember for grandparents, and great aunts and uncles who are used to more traditional names. I hope that you enjoy your baby, and I wish you only the best!

Some times children name themselves.
You cant decide on a name and then after the baby is born you look at it and the name comes right to you.
