That darn MN

My DH and I just started TTC but we've been throwing around baby names for a few years now. We know we want to name our first girl Adalae Elizabeth, and second girl Naomi Katherine (assuming of course we have 2 girls).
For a boy we love the name Jackson but have been having a tricky time deciding on a MN. Currently we're thinking Jackson Levi but I'm not sure I'm in love with it.

Thoughts?

I think Jackson Levi is fine.

Fair warning, though: one of the Duggar kids is named Jackson Levi. Not a dealbreaker, just a data point.

Out of all your names, the only ones I like are Naomi (love), Katherine, and Elizabeth.

Adalae looks odd to me.

I am really sick of Jackson (though I adore Jack) and Levi is one of my all-time least favorite names...I know a lot of people on the board like it, though.

 My DH loves the name Adalae. It's actually from a song by The Pink Spiders called Adalae. Not the greatest song but the name is cute and unique.

I never really liked the name Jack until recently because I only knew old men with the name, but one of the little guys I nanny is named Jack. I like it now but couldn't name my own son just Jack. My DH and I only know one other Jackson.

Naomi Katherine is really pretty.  I haven't heard the name Adalae before, but I LOVE Elizabeth.

Jackson Levi is fine, though it's personally not my style.  I think you may change your mind as you begin to do more research on baby names, and you see how popular Jackson has become.  The popularity might bother you.

I promise you in 5 years you will know 100 of them.

I have only heard the name Adalae in the song. But it's just so pretty! 

 I think looking into the popularity of names in the US would be a good idea for me. I'm originally from Canada and have only been here for two years now. It's been interesting to see the different baby name trends in the two countries. I didn't know anyone with the name Jackson before, and the one I do know is American. The popularity of Jackson might bother me... bummer. Sad

I'm not sure any of these names are good choices if you are concerned about popularity, with the exception of Naomi and Levi.  Adalae may seem cute and unique, but it sounds just like Adeline, Adelaide, and Addison along with all the other "Addies" that are VERY, VERY popular. I see a little Addy/ Addie every time I go out in public. I've loved the name Addie since I was a kid but won't use any of these variations (except possibly Adele, my great-grandmother's name - still stuck on it!) due to the popularity. Adelae is very similar.

 Agree that Jackson is insanely popular in the US. Check out the SSA name lists, and you can also see which names are rising fastest in popularity.

I really dislike Jackson. It is one of those names that is SO popular and I'm not sure why. FWIW, Jackson Levi flows just fine. Your girl names are NMS but nothing wrong with them either.
