Hubby and I are having trouble picking names. Would appreciate any helpful advice or criticism. Last name starts with a hard K and has a hard J sound partway thru.
(We both like Skye(Scottish) somehow incorporated or as nickname.)
Savannah Skye
Skyla something-could use advice on m.n.
Autumn Skye
Brooklyn
Mallory
Aisling (pronounced like Azlynn)
Tehara
Nadia
Kezia
Lily or Lilia
Malaya
Middle name maybe Breeze-we differ on our feelings of that name and how it would be viewed later on in her adult life.
Thank you for the help!

I can appreciate the Scottish significance of Skye, but given its current random trendiness, I'd reserve it for the middle name slot. Just a personal preference.
My favorite on your list is easily Aisling -- and the Celtic link is wonderfully fitting, it would seem -- but it's properly said ASH-ling or ASH-lin (some pronounce the G, some don't), not "Azlynn." That would be Aslan, the lion from "Chronicles of Narnia" (and incidentally, "lion" in Turkish LOL).
Mallory, Nadia and Lily or Lilia are also fine, though Nadia might be odd (if your surname is also Celtic) and "Lily Skye" is just overly description (some would say cheesy).
Along those same lines, I'd avoid descriptive "phrase" names such as Savannah Skye (the sky in Georgia?), Autumn Skye (the heavens in the fall?), Brooklyn Skye (rarely seen through buildings and pollution), etc. If you really want Skye in there, it might be wise to avoid first names that are also common words. ;)
You might also like Lillias/Lilias/Lileas (all spellings are used), the Scottish forms of Liliana.
Hope that helps.
Ps. Somehow I overlooked Keziah, which I also quite like (but wouldn't use with Skye ... too repetitive). Cassia Skye would work, however, if you really want that middle name (Cassia is the actual meaning of Keziah, and a name in its own rite). ;)

I like Malaya Aisling. But i might suggest on spelled Aisling, Azlynn. I Think it adds a girlier touch. I think Breeze might be a weird middle name for say a 23 year old, but thats just me. I also like Lily Skye. Pretty Names!!!

Well here is my thoughts:
Savannah Skye is lovely
Skyla is not the best
Autumn Skye, Love autumn but skye just not working
Brooklyn is cute
Mallory is eww
Aisling would get called ***
From Tehara to Kezia is no
Lily should be named Lilianna
Malaya is cute
Breeze, people would make fun at that because of fart

Autumn Skye- Don't like two words as a name.
Brooklyn- This is a city in NY, not a name.
Mallory- dont like
Aisling- weird spelling, why not just spell it, azlynn?
Tehara- no
Nadia- no
Kezia- prefer as a nickname to makenzie
Lily or Lilia- prefer as a nickname to liliann
Malaya- prefer makayla

Savannah Skye is cute and so is Autumn Skye.
I dont like the name Breeze. It sounds like a stripper name.

Lily Skye would be my favorite. Skye is a beautiful name. While I don't think it would be an appropriate first name as she grows, it is a lovely middle name. Congratulations to you and good luck. Sometimes the first name you pick is the one you end up with!
