cant stay on one girls name

The only girls name my husband will agree on with me is Reagan. It would be Reagan Louise ( louise is an important family name,so it stays)

I really like Carliegh Grace,Alana Jade and Aubree Grace

but i do want louise for the MN and i dont think it sounds good with the other names.Also, what are some thoughts about Monroe (louise,grace??)

I'm not a huge Monroe fan.  I always assume someone is a huge Marilyn fan.  Mainly because the two little girls I know, that applies.

I like Carly Louise! I don't care for Carliegh.

If you and your husband both like Reagan Louise I would stick with that as it does flow nicely.

I think Reagan Louise is a pretty name!

I do not like Carliegh (especially the spelling). Aubrey is pretty. I'm impartial to Alana.

I kind of like Monroe for a girl, but it reads very trendy. However I always seem to lean towards trendy taste anyways.

I think Reagan Louise is a cute name. 

I also like Carly but only spelled this way.Carly Louise is also very cute and I actually like that a little more than Reagan. 

I greatly dislike Monroe, sorry.

Monroe seems like you're trying too hard IMO. I would assume you're obsessed with Marilyn.

Carleigh- Misspelled and juvenile.. Caroline with the nn Carly would be 100x better. Caroline Grace would be gorgeous and classy.

Alana Jade- No offense, but I get a huge WT vibe from this. Maybe because Honey Boo Boo's name is Alana?

Aubree Grace- The spelling looks too cutesy. Audrey IMO is much better.

Reagan isn't bad. I would go with that since your husband likes it.

i agree,Caroline Grace is a very pretty/classy name!

My thought with Carly Louise is there is too many "L's" being said together...is this an uneccesary thought? also...our last name ends in "y", "Carly *****ny" so idk if it would sound odd..thoughts?

So...you like presidents' names?

The popularity of Reagan as a name (especially for girls) baffles me.  I was pretty tuned into current events during his second term for a kid my age, and I remember him as a very polarizing figure.  I feel like the name, if you choose to use it, should be a statement, but no, apparently it's just popular because people think it sounds cute and they attach no meaning to it.  Be aware that to anyone over the age of 35 or so, it means a lot.

I don't mind Carly as a full name, but please don't spell it Carleigh; that's just unnecessary and will be a PITA for your poor child.  I have no strong feelings either way about Alana.  Aubrey is fine, but again, please spell it in a way that she can carry with pride as an adult.

Monroe: not a girl name.  Ugh.

I love Margo Louise, but I could just be partial because it's my best friend's name.

I prefer Regan to Reagan.  It has more historical/literary context.   And I prefer Regan to Carliegh, Alana, Aubree and Monroe.

But I prefer Louise to all of the above.

Love Carly spelled this way or Carlie. Grace is cute & Monroe is a fabulous middle name. GL!

Reagan will forever make me think of a little demon (Exorcist), so it gets a big No from me. I love Louise, though. I`m not a fan of Carleigh (especially spelled like that), Alana or Aubree (especially spelled like that). Monroe is alright, but a little too Mariah Carey for my taste.

I think you should just go with Louise Grace.

I think you meant to write Carleigh, not Carliegh..because that is totally made up.

 Anyway, I'm not a fan of any of the names..just NMS I guess., not pretty enough..I love your mn choices and would choose them over FN.

i love grace as a mn,i love Carleigh grace (i realize the spelling may be too much,but theres something about it we both like)..but a part of me feels obligated to use louise as a mn,as it is my sisters middle name. I like Reagan Louise,i just dont know if i want to HAVE to use it...anyone else ever felt pressured? I suppose it wouldnt be AS MUCH of an issue if one our boys names wasnt aiden andrew (andrew is his brothers name)

I like Reagan a lot.

Like others have said, the Carleigh spelling is weird. I would go with the traditional Carly spelling. I really, strongly dislike Aubree, especially spelled that way. It looks cute for a little girl, but I try to imagine it on a grown woman and the double ee looks so young to me.
