Answer 2

I name my child Hayley, when I name her, there was not a lot of child names Hayley. In her school last year, from 2nd to 5th grade there were two Hayley's. That is about right for all the schools. It was not common
My daughter was in 1st grade, there were two Hayley's in her class. In 6th grade, when all town child come together, there will be beween 6 and 12.

You can not always get what you want. We want a name, that people knew, and not common. We go a very common name.

Alexis King is pretty, Alexis was 14 out of 1000, in 2006
Jasmine is fine, common, it was rank 26 out of the top 1000 girls name. That is the most common spelling of Jasmine
Alexa was 39 out of the top 1000 girls name in 2006
Arianna was 77, Ariana was 78
Celena last time it may the top 1000 was in 1995
Celena King is pretty
Sierra was rank 106 in 2006
Sierra King is pretty
Brielle was 459 in the top 1000 last year
Brielle King

I like Sierra King, Brielle King then Celena King
Good luck.
Try to find a name you love. You can pick a name, that is not common, and for some reason, the year you name your child, it everyone does.

Answer 3

Of your names, I like Brielle and Sierra. I know quite a few kids with most of the names you've chosen as well, but just because a name is popular doesn't mean it's still not a good name as you know. (I happen to love the name Emily for instance, and even though it's very popular, it's a classic)

Alexis is very 80's and personally I think it's over-used as well.
Same with Alexa.. very popular nickname for Alexandra
Jasmine- "America's next top model" chick
I can't stop picturing "Arianna Huffington" of "Huffington's Post" blog, sorry.

Answer 4

I really like Alexis(daughters name) and Alexa. Some of the other names are becoming common Sierra and Alexis...I don't care for Brielle, but Celena is fine too

Answer 5

Alexis, Alexa, Arianna, and Sierra are all over used, popular and everyday names. Celena looks wrong. I would spell it Selena. Brielle seems trashy to me. Maybe: Cecilia, Cecily, Sadie, Stella, Brenna, Brynn, or Bianca.

Answer 6

Brena King, Jadelyn King, Sienna King, Isobella King, Kiara king, Jenevive King, Christianna King, Evangeline King, Desdamona King, Alessa King, Sofia King

Answer 7

Hate to tell you, the names you have picked aren't exactly unique, or that far off from Hannah, Haley and Emily..... Look on the Social Security listing of names.... Someone else, I think, actually gave you the location of each name on that list.

Answer 8

I love Arianna- its not too common, and its very pretty. Arianna King flows well too.

Alexis, Alexa and Jasmine are actually pretty common- I teach kindergarten, and just last year I had a Jasmine and two Alexas.

Answer 9

I just adore

Alexa King
Celena King
Iris King

Answer 10

I like Alexis and Brielle the most, especially Brielle it's really cute and not very common. The other "a" names seem really boring to me.

Answer 11

What about Arianna Marie King sounds good together.
