What do you think of these names?

Question

Hubby and I are having our 3rd girl. We have a few names that we like.. or don't mind. What do you think of these??

Bethany
Aubrey
Bridget
Brittany
Kelsey

Our other childrens names are Rebecca, Nicolaas, and Breanna. Any suggestions will also be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

OK - my opinions...

First the Cons -

Bethany (some people will refer to her as Beth)
Aubrey (will be referred to as Audrey by those who don't pay attention or hear well)
Bridget (some people will call her Bridge for short)
Brittany (People will rarely spell it the way you wish)
Kelsey (Fairly common right now)

Pros -

Bethany - Very feminine sound, from the biblical.
Aubrey - Strong sounding, suggests noble.
Bridget - Strong sound, commonly associated with fun, suggests noble.
Brittany - Strong sound, suggests British
Kelsey - Strong and celtic

It's really a matter of your's and your hubby's taste and what you believe to be important about peoples names in general.

Good luck! (from a mother who's 13 year old refuses to share her middle name with ANYONE!!)

Answer 2

I would go with Bridget because the other names are so normal. I know like 20 Brittany's and Kelsey's. Give your child a name that people will exactly who she is by saying her name only once. Go with something unusual.

Answer 3

I think you should go with Aubrey or Kelsey seeing you have a daughter that's name already starts with a "B." My mom has a Jason and Jacob and she always mixes their names up because they both start the same. Just a thaught. I like Aubrey the best because it's different from all your other names and it's pretty to me.

Answer 4

I like Bridget Aubrey for the first and middle name. Tho other names are nice too except I don't care for Brittany.

Answer 5

Always look up the current top 10 names before you name your child so you can avoid those names. When I was in school, there were 4 Jennifers. My neighbors daughter has 3 other Kaitlyns (spelling?) in her class besides her. Congratulations.

Answer 6

Bethany and Kelsey sound pretty! They both sound like complete names when shortened too.(Beth or Kel)Keep in mind ,that people usually shorten names all of the time.Remember to listen to how her last name would sound when they are put together.I think you should choose the name that blends together better. Congrats!

Answer 7

I like Aubrey, besides u already have a child whose name starts with B and Kelsey is a common name. Aubrey will give her a sense of individuality.

Answer 8

Aubrey, Bridget, and Brittany are nice.
Maybe Kylie, Cassandra, Cassie, Michele??

Answer 9

I don't care for Aubrey. It always sounds like "Audry" but with a mouthfull of cotton. The rest of the names I like.

I also like Sheally (pronounced Shay-lee), Mandy, Amanda (which sounds good alongside the AH sounds in Rebecca, and Breanna), Elizabeth, Cassandra (Kassie), Shellanna. Just a few. Of course, it all depends on the last name and how they sound together.

Answer 10

I would go with Aubrey or Kelsey (or any other name that doesn't have the same first letter as any of the other names of your children). But, this is just me:-)
