What do you think of these baby names? opinions/ suggestions welcome!!?

Question

i posted the same question already but not enough people answered it to get a solid opinion..and i am absolutely searching for the perfect names and i found 2 that stuck out but i want some peoples opinions before my child is stuck with it for the rest of their life!

so for a girl..

marisa christine

and for a boy..

paul santiago

suggestions are welcome also!!

and dont hold back any criticisms cuz i'd rather know all the bad opinions about these names before my child has one of them for the rest of their lives!! so be honest and give me other names that i can consider!

thanks so much!

Answer 1

Um, well Marisa is cool for a girl, because not that many people have the name, at least not that I know. Christine is more common but still a good name. Paul is a little, I don't know, common. Santiago is cool, but maybe a little too exotic. If you want ones that are not common but not completely unheard of I'd go with Alejandro or Zacharias, I've always loved those names. Let us know what you pick!

Answer 2

marisa christine - I really dont like the name Marisa. Its just something about the tone. It puts a bad taste in my mouth... almost like I knew someone that I despised with that name... although I haven’t. Christine is pretty, but what about Krystine or Kristine? Ch is pretty out dated.

paul santiago - Again, Paul, I just dont like it. I am so sorry to sound so negative towards your names! Paul sounds old school as well. Santiago.. that works.

Where are you from? Maybe these names fit in where you are from.

My cousin just told me that in her sons kindergarten class this year, there is not one Michael, Joseph, Robert, John etc. All of the children have unique names. Nothing that have been around for decades.

Answer 3

I accually like Santiago! I think that Paul Santiago flows well. I however don't think that Marisa Christine does...maybe you should try a single sylable middle name that would flow better like Marisa Ann or Marisa Louise. I like the names just doesn't sound right together. Just my opinion though! I wouldn't go by what names are "in" because just like any fad it will fade! Now I think changing thespelling of a name is neat so it is unique.I think great names are family names...for instance my son is Joseph Xavier after his father and if we have a girl she will be Vallie Jean after my husbands grandfather and myself. Another name we've chosen is Edward James for a boy after my grandfather. Look back into your family history...some of the neatest names are old!

Answer 4

I think all your names are good. Well, except Kitty. The least you could do is name the kid Kittara, which is pretty, and then she herself could pick to be Kitty, and she'd also have options for Tara or Kit. I don't agree at all that Jordan is only a girl's name; I know as many boy Jordans as girl Jordans. If you're stuck with middle ames you can always combine two of the names you already have on the list, example: Amara Lyla. Also, I personally don't like Avery, but hey, when it boils down to it, it's your kid and your choice. If you really think about it, I'm sure you can eliminate a bunch of these and figure out which names you really do love. Think about what you would do if I told you that i HATE the name Ava and think you should take it off the list. Would you be devastated? Or would you be fine? Thinking about that for most of your names can help you narrow it down. You're probably keeping some of these names in mind just for the sake of liking them, but when you think about it, I'm sure there's a bunch you don't LOVE. If you get reallly stuck, you can always look up what the names mean and take it from there. My name happens to mean "farm". Not really the best, when most names mean things like "beautiful" and "god's grace" and things like that. Looking up meanings is a good way to figure out what really speaks to you. On the same note, you could also see if there were any famous people worth being named after/worth being related to for your child....for example, Anastasia will very quickly be related to both the real and disney-fictionalized Duchess Anastasia. Are you okay with that? Do you like it? etc. But if it helps, I really do like all your names except Kitty and maybe Natalia. I think you've got a good variety of not too common, but not unheard of names. Also, I think if you decide to use it, you should keep Elizabeth (and Alexander and Jacob) as a middle name, not a first name since it's so common. In my opinion, I'd also eliminate Jackson and Drake. But anyway, I don't think you can go too wrong here.

Answer 5

For the girl you've got a couple things to consider... first the spelling of Marisa. Do you intend for it to be "mar-EE-sah" or "MAR-iss-ah" I know people both ways and the "mar-EE-sah" spells it the way you have. Also, her initials are M.C. which probably isn't a problem unless your last name is Lyte. :)

I assume you are intentional in naming the child Saint Paul, but think its a lot to live up to. The only other thing I would point out is that the initials are P.S.

Answer 6

I love Marisa Christine and Santiago but I'm not so fond of Paul

Answer 7

Marisa Christine isn't too bad. Santiago is a hispanic name. Good luck and congrats!

Answer 8

I hate the boy one as it is too stiff and dreadful sounding but I like Marisa as a first name but I hate christine. Maybe you could try Marisa georgette........I think that baby name needs a longer middle name!

Answer 9

pretty cute names but instead of christine why not have christina it seems to roll off the tounge. or another cute name is marisa angel. and for the little lads name keep it its original yet unique

Answer 10

Maybe the people who doesn´t like Santiago doesn´t realize it was one of Jesus´ apostles: Saint Thiago (Saint James in english). Nothing against none of them. Both are ok. The most important is that you raise them correctly. Good luck!
