Baby Name Frustration?

Question

I know there are thousands of questions like this but I would really appreciate a few opinions, what do you prefer:

Girl
Gracie- Mae
Kamora
Tia

Boys
Fraiser
Henry
Spencer
Benson

Thank you

Answer 1

no for all, sorry

Answer 2

Let's see ...

Gracie-Mae sounds like a nickname. If you named her Grace Mae, Grace Margaret, Grace Marie or Grace Madeleine, maybe, it would be a cute short form. But that name doesn't really work once she's traded her sparkly pink pencil case for a laptop.

Not sure about Kamora - it sounds a little awkward.

Tia, however, is very pretty. So if you don't want to choose a longer version of Gracie, I'd stick with Tia.

As for the boys' names, are Frasier, Benson or Spencer family names? If so, they're great. If not. stick with Henry. They sound a mite pretentious, even if there *is* a family connection. Without one, they're just a little much.

Answer 3

The girl names are not my style, to be honest, although simply Grace, with the second name Mae (if you like), would be a fine classic choice. I simply don't care for using the childish nickname form as a given namd and adding the unnecessary hyphenation on top of that.

You can just as easily make her formal name Grace Mae -- or even Marie, Meredith, Maeve, Margaret, etc. -- either as a first and middle name or true double name (placing both on the first name line of the birth certificate, and likely giving her a seperate middle name as well), and still call her Gracie Mae. But by giving her the mature form, you give her the option of NOT always having to use "Gracie-Mae" as she ages. Perhaps she'd prefer to be simply Grace through college, or put "Grace Meredith" on her resume or office door. You never know what your child will want to accomplish in life, and giving them a versatile name that will work with them, rather than against them, is always a well-thought-out choice.

The boy names are another story entirely, as I actually love them all. All classic, even interesting options that will carry well from childhood to maturity. ;)

Henry and Fraser/Frazier would be my favorites, though I'd stick with these traditional spellings unless "Fraiser" is a family name for you. Benson and Spencer come in close behind, although the nickname Ben (if you'd use it) and occupational names like Spencer in general are quite common at the moment. Still great options, however. ;) Good luck choosing!

Answer 4

Gracie-Mae-sounds a lil babyish and they won't stay a baby forever.
Kamora-sounds Japanese-sounds quite nice a lil unusual but it's an okay name
Tia-Sounds okay, but again, nice for a very lil child.

All 4 of the boys names will use both a lil baby and an adult. They are all okay. Benson sounds a lil bit like a name for an old man. Spencer also a little bit. Henry is nice but a very traditional name.
Out of the names you have given I'd say Kamora and Fraiser.
However, be aware that Fraiser cannot really be shortened whereas the other two you can have T/Ti, Kam, Kam Kam (obv for a lil baby) or Kamie.
Good luck in choosing a name and good luck with the birth.

Answer 5

Hi,

I am having similar things with my partner but it more to do with the middle names!

Anyhow, I like Gracie - Mae for a girl - we will be having Emilie Grace so I love Grace and Gracie - so cute!

I not overly keen on your boy's names BUT if I had to chose it would have to be Spencer.

I like Ben but not Benson, Harry instead on Henry and Fraiser I just don't like! Sorry!

Good luck!

Lx

Answer 6

Tia for a girl (kamora sounds funny imo and Gracie is way too popular and outdated for my taste)

I quite like Fraiser for a boy and Benson second but not henry (too old man sounding) or Spencer (because of the singlet called a spencer)

Tia and Fraser are cute and trendy without being pretencious or weird.

best of luck

Answer 7

First, I want to say that all of the names listed sound really nice. In my opinion for a girl I would go with "Gracie-Mae". Not a lot of people have a two word name and it has that old time uniqueness to the sound of it so that would be my choice. As for the boy name, I would go with "Benson". I have never heard a name like this and I think it's sounds great and it's unique as well. It's not the same old thing you hear every day. Those are my two picks. I don't have any kids myself, and I hope to very soon. If I have a girl I want to name her "Reagan". And, If I have a boy I want to name him "Amir".
Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!

Answer 8

I think Gianna is a lovely name. But you need to find a name you love. What about Bianca? Or Beatrice? Juliette? I think you're on the right track looking for an Italian name.

Answer 9

Girl
Gracie-Mae
Very unique but a little too sweet sounding. Grace is a nicer substitute

Kamora
Another Unique name, sounds almost japanese actually. This girl will be a fighter. It's a gentle yet strong in character type of name. I like it ;]

Tia
Means "aunt" spanish origin. Personally i think it sounds very princess like. It's a pretty name but not overly so. Tia would be a name for a sweet girl

Boys
Frasier
sounds like that TV show lol. But it also sounds solemn like Francis. Sounds like a name for a protector or a comedian ;]
It is of Scottish and Norman French origin, and its meaning is "of the forest men". Also possibly Old English for "curly hair", or an old French place name.

Henry
A little too serious sounding if you ask me. It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "estate ruler". The boy could come across as domineering. But it's a nice name too. Depends on what type of name you're looking for.

Spencer
An interesting name.. more common as a surname. It is of Middle English origin, and its meaning is "dispenser of provisions". From the meaning it sound like someone who is very giving but the impression i got was a red-haired cheeky sort of boy

Benson
No Never. Please. I'm sorry i'm usually quite impartial to names but the Benson i know is just too annoying. Ben is good though. Short for Benjamin.

;] seems you like more unique sounding names but yet nothing too extravagant

Answer 10

For the girl, Tia is adorable.
For a boy I like Spencer

Answer 11

Gracie for a girl and Henry or Benson for a boy
