Baby Girl Names

We have three girl names we like but I wanted to hear some feedback...

 1. Kendall Elizabeth

2. Abigail (Abbey)

3. Allison (Allie) 

We liked the middle name Mae but not sure if if sounds great with Abbey or Allie.

I've always loved Kendall.  Kendall Elizabeth is great.

Abigail is ok, its one of those names I'm wishy washy about, like Sydney.

I really like Allison a lot, however Allie Mae sounds very Beverly Hillbillies (even though she was Ellie May)

I will say that Abbey is a fine stand alone name.  Abbey Elizabeth is a nice name, too.

Abigail and Allison are both too popular for my taste, but if that doesn't bother you, theyr'e great names. I think I slightly prefer Abigail. Mae is NMS, either, but it sounds fine with both names. 

I *really* dislike Kendall.

I like all three. Allison is one of my top names. I would prefer the middle name Elizabeth over Mae just because the names flow a little better I think.

Kendall is NMS. I really dislike Abigail. Allison is NMS, either. Can I suggest Alice with the nn Allie? Allison always sounds snobby to me for some reason.

I love Mae as a mn.

In order:

1. Abigail

2. Allison

 

3. Kendall (not a fan)

I would use Elizabeth for middle names with either Abigail or Allison.

They are all great names.  I actually really like Kendall; it's refreshing.  Abigail is overused, IMO.  Allison is sort of plain to me, but still a decent name.

 My vote is for Kendall Elizabeth.

Mae is NMS.

I like Abigail the best, then Allison then Kendall.  I like Elizabeth as a middle name for Abigail and Allison more than Mae.  They are all very pretty names. I also second a PPs suggestion of Alice.

Though not my style, I really like the sound of Kendall Elizabeth.

I love the name Kendall Elizabeth! I think it's so pretty and it's such a strong name for a girl. Our original girl name was Kennedy and Kendall was a favorite of mine too. However, keep an eye on her initials since there are vowels in the name (i.e. if you choose that name, I hope your last name does not start with a G lol!). I'm a stickler about initials - mine were almost HAG (thank you, Dad, for changing it!!!)

I think the other two names are very pretty (Allison/Allie is my second favorite it). 

Abigail is pretty, although I think it's ranked fairly high on the S.S. list, if that is a consideration.

My thoughts exactly.  Mae sounds fine with both Abigail and Allison, but I don't like it.  Elizabeth sounds much better.

I vote for Allison.  Abigail is just okay, and I don't like Kendall.
