Hey girls-we found out this week our little bean is a girl and I am dying to figure out her name. I have had lists of favorites for years but it seems all the girls names went from being old fashioned to being very very popular. I am ok using them as a middle name but they don't necessarily sound "perfect".
Also, due to a strange family issue on my DH's side we can't use an A which I happen to love.
Our #1 name right now is Skylar______ Landau
I like a double name-think its super cute so I tend to like it when they flow together. Was leaning towards Anne but not with the family issue can't use that name, plus its my DH's step moms name and she'd have concerns with it.
Oh also, I prefer a girly middle name since Skylar is unisex
So far I kind of like:
Grace
Olivia (I wanted this is a first name, spelled with as A prior to its popularity)
Layne or Laine (not sure if it sounds like a street)
Marie (my mama's and sister middle name)
Lee (don't love the name but like the way it sounds)
Rae
Mae
Rayne- Like the way it sounds but a little corny since Skylar will be callled Skye
Our #2 name is London which is so cute with Landau but I love to have a shortened nickname and don't like any that would come along with London.
Would love your thoughts!! Thanks

I like Marie the best, especially since it will have meaning for you. Skylar Marie Laundau sounds very cute and it "girls" it up. Grace is also beautiful, but I read somewhere that it is one of the most popular middle names for girls right now, not sure if it matters since it will be the middle name. London is very cute as well but I agree it doesn't have any cute nicknames. Second pick would be Skylar Laine, I think it sound cute too, and I don't think of a street. What about Skylar Hope or Skylar Leigh(spelled like this instead of Lee) GL.

When I first read it I thought of Mae then read on and it's on your list I love that name and it is girly. My first thought of Laine was a street Sorry. Too many L sounds with Lee and it is a unisex name, not girly I think Jade, Eve go well also I love London, Lon can be cute and can grow on you just say it a few times out loud and you'll know whether you can rule it out or not. Good Luck Skylar is a beautiful name

I am funny and like the sound of Skylar Raine. the sky and rain go together like peanut butter and jelly
Marie is also very cute and family names are just special. I think London Landau sounds odd, a little to rhymy and may make it easy for kids to make fun of it.
