Presley ____???

  We (well, I say 'we' because I am supposed to, but he has been kicked off the baby naming committee because he sucks at it...) anyways.. We are naming her Presley. I need help/opinions on the middle name though.  I have it narrowed down to 3, but can't make up my mind.

Presley Faith

Presley Ann

Presley Rae

Thoughts??

My guess is he probably thinks you suck at baby naming.

I wouldn't chose any of the names. But if I had to, I would use Faith as a middle name.

When I saw Presley in the heading, I thought for sure it was for a boy.  I don't like Presley for a girl.  Could you use it in the mn spot?  If not, Faith would be my choice since it is the most feminine.

Nova Lee? Nova is not bad at all, and much better than Presley especially for a girl.  

Just don't mash the name "Novalee?" unnecessary mashing.

It's different but not crazy different. I like when kids have names that standout a little.

Presley is nms, and like a PP, I also initially thought it was going to be for a boy. 

But that is besides the point. I don't think it's fair for you to decide that your DH doesn't get an opinion because you don't like the name he picked. If you can't agree on his choice or Presley, I think they should both be off the table and you should start from scratch. This child is just as much your DH's as it is yours. I'd be pissed if my DH kicked me off the "naming committee" and didn't allow me a say in naming OUR child. Just my two cents.

Since Presley has quite a masculine quality about it, I'd suggest using a very feminine middle. I wouldn't recommend Rae since various Ray names are also quite masculine (Raymond, etc), and two names that could be male or female is probably not the best ideo. Of these three, Faith or Ann would both be decent.

This.

Whether you like his names or not, it is his child too. You need to learn to compromise. Maybe he should kick you off the committee too...yeah. Take a step back for a while and talk to you husband.

It's not that different. It's just another example of the "random last name for a first name" trend. Also, Rae just sounds country to me - so whether or not that's something you are looking for.

Um, you're kicking your husband off the naming commitee? Grow up, you're a married couple that needs to work together.  You sound like a spoiled brat who's having a fit because you're not getting your way.  If you don't like Novalee, and he doesn't like Presley, start over and find something you both like.  Naming your child should be a joint decision.  Those are my thoughts on that. 

I personally don't like Presley. It's really not that different.  It's been climbing the charts in the last 10 years.  It used to be #809 in 2001, and in 2011 it was #227 nationally.  If I HAD to pick a fn/mn combo, I'd go with Presley Ann.

It may not be in the top ten but it's still going to be very dated since you are going with one of the most popular trends right now- random last names as first names.

If you BOTH decide you love it, I'd ditto PP's and do a very feminine middle name, like Faith. But for real, get on the same page with your husband. Mine came up with a few atrocities (and I'm sure he thought I did too) but in the end we decided on one we love together.

"Are your parents Elvis fans????"    Yeah, she's gonna hear that A LOT.  Can you deal with that?? 

Any feminine sounding mn will probably work well with Presley.   But I think some reconsideration on the FN is in order here.

On the contrary, if you named her Amanda or Jennifer she probably would be the only on in her class. Presley isn't really that different, I see it on here often unfortunately. It will be just as trendy and dated as Jennifer, Heather, or Amanda.

  We (well, I say 'we' because I am supposed to, but he has been kicked off the baby naming committee because he sucks at it...) anyways.. We are naming her Presley. I need help/opinions on the middle name though.  I have it narrowed down to 3, but can't make up my mind.

Presley Faith

Presley Ann

Presley Rae

Thoughts??

  wow.  wasn't expecting all that. 

first i would like to say that i think a lot of you read way too much into my opening sentence.  i meant that jokingly, but nice to know so many of you jumped the gun and assume i'm a crappy spouse.  For the record I did consult with him on the names. He is okay with Presley. I didn't and am not just going behind his back on naming the baby.  I'm not that big of a witch. 

Also, I realize that I did ask for thoughts... but I was aiming that towards the middle name decision. Hence the sentence, "I need help/opinions on the MIDDLE NAME".  I don't remember anywhere in my post asking for rude or negative comments about her first name.

I sincerely hope you are teaching your own children "if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all".  Maybe that way they won't grow up to be such bitties as some of you.   I thought I had hit the jackpot of finding a good website to join during my pregnancy but now am not so sure.  Thank you all for such a warm welcome.

There are so many wonderful girl names that can be considered different. I really dislike Presley. To me it just sounds like you're trying hard to be trendy.

If you're set on Presley, Presley Nova could be cute...and definitely more feminine.
