I know they are werid... but honest opinions please!?

Question

I love these names and my mother doesnt want her grandchildren to be named really werid names. (She has 2 grand-daughters already; not by me, LaRissa-Ann and Hailey-Jade Elizabeth) P.S. I'm really hoping for a boy

Girls:
1. Makenadi Grace (She'd be called Kena Grace)
2. Madalynn Abagail (She'd be called Maddie)
3. Iyona Dawn (It's pronounce... I- yown-a)

Boys:
1. Declan Michael (I really like this name)
2. Noah Matthew (Biblical and I'm really into religion)
3. Aiden Rex (Rex is from the grand-dad)
4. Zake Allann (I like Jake and Zack so I just combined them)

Please be honest and tell me... I just dont want to name my first kid something that I'll be ashamed of later; I'm only 17

I'm not pregnant... just wondering

Answer 1

I only like the first three boys names, and none of the girls names.

Answer 2

1. Makenadi Grace: I'm not to sure of this name, if she's going to be called Kena then why not name her Kena? Just a thought
2. Madalynn Abagail: I honestly love this name!
3. Iyona Dawn: A little diffrent, the name reminds me of the name ivory though even though their no where near the same thing. I like the sound but not the spelling though

Boys:
1. Declan Michael: Would it sound like de-clan or de-clawn, because i like the one that sounds like de-clawn but not too sure about de-clan
2. Noah Matthew: I love this name soooo much!
3. Aiden Rex: This name is adorible!
4. Zake Allann: Hmm all i can think of when i first read this name is a hilbilly with no teeth, and cake. I'm sorry.

Answer 3

Seeing as you are not pregnant at this time you will probably change your names a thousand times before the actual baby comes. That said I like Kena Grace not Makenadi, Madalynn Abigail and for boys Noah Matthew And Aiden Rex is my absolute fav on the list.

Answer 4

I am no baby name expert but...You need to think about how bad kids will twist the name you give your child...Other children can be very mean when it comes to teasing about names. So lets start with the girl names
Girls:
1. Makenadi Grace (She'd be called Kena Grace) If you are just going to call her Kena why not make that her name? But then kena is going to get turned into Can-ya
2. Madalynn Abagail (She'd be called Maddie) Maddie rhymes with fatty if you want kids to call her Fatty Maddie then go ahead and name her madalyn
3. Iyona Dawn (It's pronounce... I- yown-a) I- own- ya That is what it is going to be

Now for the boys names.
1. Declan Michael (I really like this name) The klan? do you really want to do that to a child?
2. Noah Matthew (Biblical and I'm really into religion) That is okay not too much to tease him about except what he did with all those animals
3. Aiden Rex (Rex is from the grand-dad) Tyranasaurus Rex that is just too easy
4. Zake Allann (I like Jake and Zack so I just combined them) Zake? rake, fake,lake,steak too many ways to rhyme that one. He would end up being Zake the Flake
This is from someone who as a kid called other kids terrible names ....not that I am proud of that:(

Answer 5

The names all look so strange! And trying to figure out how to say them, is even worse! Stick to as close to the pronunciation as you can, with your spelling! Makenadi? Is it Make-ah-naddy? Or is it Mack-an-noddy? I like Kena Grace better, just as it is! But Kena with Grace, is still pairing non-traditional with traditional. They don't truly suit one another! If you want Kena, then do Kena Loa, or Kenya Loa or something! If you want Grace, then pair it with, Kendra Grace, as they match each other in type. Spelling Madeline as Madalynn looks awful! It brings out the "mad" somehow! Madeline could also be spelled as Madaleine or Madalaine, but I don't think they're better than the original, Madeline. Iyona? Makes me think of "I owe ya'"! Dawn is lovely, but find a more matching name to go with it, like Elaina Dawn! Declan Michael is O.K. but Declan should have as different a name to go with it. Here again, pairing of two opposite types. It's odd! Declan Michel would be better! Noah Matthew fits! They match one another! Aiden is good on its' own, and so is Rex, but not so great together! Zachary Aiden would sound better! Or Rex Allan! (No sense spelling it as Allann as it should be pronounced as Al-Ann?) Rex Allen or Rex Allan, good enough! And Jake is a great name! Zake? improves nothing! Jake Allen would be awesome! Zack Allan is good too! I hope this gives you a little more perspective on spellings and pairings of names! Too many are going over the top with these different-for-the-sake-of being different interpretations! Not so grand for the kid, who's left having to explain their name to everyone they meet!

Answer 6

I like your names. I like any names that aren't typical (as in my own name, Jessica) or ridiculous (as in a celeb baby name, like Apple or Gidget).

I can't pick a favorite with with girl's names! I don't like Abagail...I guess the name has always sounded like something on a farm to me, but I don't think she'd get teased for it. Hmmm...I guess I'd pick Makenadi Grace!

As for the boys, I love Declan...one of my best friends is having a baby and naming him Declan. Zake is cool too, and so is Aiden Rex...I love carrying on family names (my middle name is Gray and I'm named after my great-grandmother who died at 38...I plan on giving my little girl this name too)! It's a tie between Aiden Rex and Zake Allann for me, but I personally wouldn't put 2 n's on Allann...people would misspell it al his life.

Great names. And ignore the people who are whining that you're 17 and pregnant...obviously they didn't read your question to see you're NOT pregnant, just thinking about names.

Answer 7

I like Kenna Grace better than that Makenadi Grace. I don't care for the other 2 girl names. Sorry.
I don't know how to pronounce Declan (Dee-Clan? Day-Clan?)
Noah Matthew, and Aiden Rex sound good. But I don't really like Zake Allan.

Answer 8

I like Madalyn Abagail (but spelled Madilyn Abigail - Madi for short)
I would just name her Kena Grace
For the boys, I like Noah Matthew.
Aiden Rex is okay, and don't care for Declan or Zake

Answer 9

I love the boys names 1, 2, and 3.

I don't care for Zake Allann at all...I don't like the spelling of Allann and Zake isn't my style...maybe Xan (pronounced Zan).

The girls names are okay. I like Madalynn (Madalyn) but not crazy about the combo or spelling of Abigail. How about Madalyn Grace?

Take Care. SD

Answer 10

I do like "Madalynn Abagail" but if you would call her "Maddie" then why not simply call her that?

"Noah Matthew" is a lovely name for a boy.

All other names are a little to far fetched for my liking. Also I would like to remind you that these names have to sound good with your last name.

Oh yes .... and also remember that the names will be part of initals that may spell something which you wouldn't want your child called. For example:

Madalynn Abagail becomes M.A.? (hopefully "?" does not = C, D, N, M, P, T,) Do you see where I'm going with this???

Good luck and whatever the sex or name of your baby, I hope it's born a happy and healthy one!!

Answer 11

I love Madalynn and love Noah & Aiden for a boys name dont tell your mum what name youve picked until youve made firm decissions and bubs is born then there is nothing she can say and she'll see the little one and fall madly in love and the name wont matter. I had the same problem with my parents when I even mentioned names so I just didnt mention it till it was too late. All the best
