Ok! I need help. 8 months pregnant with our 3rd kid. My other 2 are Shelby M'Lynn and John Austin. This last one is going to be a girl and I'm just stumped on names! We've talked about 3 but nothing just seems to be 'it'. Here is what we have so far:
-Lorali Grace (pronounced Laura Lie)
-Tessa Elizabeth
-Payton Elizabeth
We like the name Elizabeth but aren't sure on using it for a first name. Our last name begins with a 'T' so I do like names with the same first letter on first and last name. I so want to give my baby a name!! The other two were named before they were even concieved so this one is really hard to be almost to the end and not have a name for her!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Big fan of Lorali Grace! Someone suggested that you look at how you spell the first name so that it is not mispronounced and I would agree- but it's a pretty combination!
I like both Lorali (think I would spell it Loralai if you want it pronounced like lie) and Tessa.
My daughter's name is Elizabeth Aiden. Just had to throw that in. :) Her daddy named her... I love it!
Have you looked into meanings at all? That has a big impact on my choice of names.
Peyton Elizabeth is my vote!
Or Parker Elizabeth.
Congrats!
Lorelei is the common spelling for that name, without the lei it foes look like it would be pronounced "lee".Shelby is known but not common and John is common so I personally wouldn't pick something completely uncommon. And I grew up spelling and pronouncing my name so I never wanted my kids to have to do that. I love Payton/Peyton and only have met one little girl with that name. Tessa is cute. My daughter is Amelia Elizabeth, I love that middle name too! Paige is cute and similar to Payton and good with the long middle name, and I also like ava, lane, zoe. The last name sounding good means a lot too, and will be said much more often than the middle name so be aware of that. Good luck!
I love the name Lorali. I sounds soo pretty.
I love Tessa! So cute and original!!
Lorali is pretty, but honestly I mispronounced it when I first read your post; I pronounced it as Lor'ah-lee (Ali, as in Mohammed Ali). I tend to shy away from names that could be a lifelong mispronounciation for the child.
Payton/Peyton is super popular right now. Lots of girls named that at my daughter's preschool these days.
Of your 3, I like Tessa the best. (By the way, one of my favorite names is Jessa).
Ooooooh, I love Lorali!!!
Well, since John has one syllable & Shelby has two, how about a name with three syllables for your third child:) I like Sheridan & it would go nicely with sister Shelby's name. Of course Elizabeth also has three syllables :)
Good luck & many blessings to you all ~
Sheridan meaning:
Long lived treasure
Pronunciation:
(SHARE ih dun)
i vote against tessa elizabeth, just because having two vowels run up against each other is awkward. i like payton and love lorali.

I ♥ Lorali and Payton. Those are cute.
Lorali was going to be our first born's name, but he came out a boy:)
I have always loved that name, you do not hear it very often. I also like how in "Gilmore girls" they used Rory as a nickname:)
Lorali Grace
Congrats!
I love Elizabeth Grace or Grace Elisabeth but I'm sure anything you name your precious daughter would be wonderful.. I suggest to go to Babycenter like another mom mentioned.
Good Luck and Congrats to your new addition.

i feel your pain..lmao My husband and i our expecting our fourth! We have a Juan Manuel, Mya Rhodel, Diego Manuel and a baby girl on the way. We decided to have the boys keep my husbands middle name and the girls are to have mine. So my husband wanted Allison.. how the hell are you suppose to throw in an Allison when we have 3 kids named like this.. (my husband is mexican..lol) So i was trying to convince him of Ellasyn it kinda sounded like allison but it was different and kinda spanishy..lol So we went to Macaroni Grill and colored all over the table and came up with Leyla..lol So our fourth baby will by Leyla Rhodel. So my suggestion go out to eat and color, bring a baby book and have fun..lol Enjoy it's hard when you get to have so many.. :)
** by the way.. you may want to sign up at BabyCenter.com because you can type a name in and it will give you suggestions like in a spider web formation of other names you may like. It kinda helped us as well. Good Luck :)
I know so many people that have struggled with this worrying that they don't have a name settled on. Often, when they see the baby, it helps make up their minds.
(My daughter was 4 days old before Dad and I could agree on anything). He didn't like ANYTHING and his only suggestion, well, I won't mention it in case someone else is named that. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But it absolutely definitely would not have fit our daughter at all. Whatever even made him think of it, I will never know. His own mom was like, "What the.....?"
All the names you are considering are beautiful. They really are.
I've always loved Lorali and I've only ever known one person with that name.
Anything you choose will be wonderful.
My dad actually came up with my babies name and the minute he said it, it was a done deal. Four days after she was born!
Best wishes and let us know when your baby arrives!
I like the name Mya that someone else had in her posting. It sounds nice when you say all three names together - Shelby, John and Mya. :)
