STUCK! Need girl name help/suggestions.

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 like all of your names, but I wouldn't pick Kendall simply because your last name starts with an "L" and I think it wouldn't flow as well. Could end up sounding like "Kenda," haha.

 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.

I love Sienna.  Don't hear it very often but I know someone with the name and almost every time her mom tells people her name they absolutely love it and say how great a name it is.  What about Sabrina or Scarlett?

I don't like the "dull" at the end of Kendall.

Sienna Harper is nice.

Never been a fan of Kendall though I'm not sure why. I wanted Sienna for my daughter but H nixed it. I still love it though.

I really like Kendall, and it goes well with your last name. Kendall Harper would be pretty. Good luck!

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.
