DH and I are split between two names we love - our top 2 are Kendall and Sienna. I love Kendall he loves Sienna but we hate them together as a first and middle.
Thoughts on these names or suggestions for similar style names? I also love Avery lately, and Harper (but we're in Mass. and many people pronounce it Hahpah - terrible- so that's out of the running)
Last name is pronounced Lax-o. Spelled Laakso.

I really like Kendall! Sierra is NMS, always reminds me of Sierra Mist, idk why. I love Avery and Harper (they're on our short list) but I wouldn't want someone pronouncing it Hahpah.

I'm so glad you wrote this. The whole reason Sienna is not my choice is that about 50% of people I say it to repeat back to me Sierra, which i don't like at all. You did just that and now I have proof to show DH! Thanks :)
Of the two, I personally gravitate to Sienna, but I think Kendall might sound better with your LN.
What about Kendall Harper? In the MN spot you wont have to worry so much about pronunciation.
Not a fan of Kendall, it's not feminine enough for me.
What about Serena, Keira, Sabrina, Stella, Mallory, Melody, Paige, Piper, Hillary, Sadie, Molly, Eden, or Lindsay?
I like Avery best out of your list. Sienna isn't my style at all and Kendall is okay, but like PP said the FN ending in L when the LN starts with L bothers me.
My cousin has a Kendall and her little sister is Kayla. Still NMS but sounds better with your LN I think.
