Anyone want to weigh in??
I made a name clicky poll on the oct 2011 board. . .feel free to go vote. Or just comment here. These are probably my top 5 right now but I'm not really in love with any of them it. It's really odd b/c H and I keep going back to names that begin with K. H's favorite name is Kiersten but I'm not a fan at all.

Re: Anyone want to weigh in??
I'm kinda partial to K names, myself.
I like Kiera.
Call me Kat =^..^=
I like Kiera and Kendall. My SIL BF is named Kendall and I thought it was a cool name.
I'm not a fan of Kaleigh, My friend has a dog named that so all I can think of is her dog.
I like Kylie. Have you checked out nymbler.com? It's a pretty cool baby name website.
Edited to say that I think it also depends on your LN, which of course I don't know
ditto this!
i have a friend whose daughter's name is kalen, if you want another less common, but not too yoo-neek name

Since you asked...
Kylie Michelle - no, because while Kylie is a cute name, it's super duper trendy right now. Not to mention Kylie is a very cute name for a little girl, but it does not translate well to a professional career for an adult woman. My favorite way to "judge" a name is to use the Supreme Court Justice game - say the name and see how it sounds. "Kylie Michelle, Supreme Court Justice". It just doesn't work (IMO).
Kaleigh - same comments as Kylie, they sound very similar. Not to mention as someone who has a name that is spelled slightly differently than the norm, it is a GIANT pain in the arse, SO annoying to have to constantly correct people. There are so many derivatives, Kayley, Kayleigh, Kalee, etc. she will constantly have to spell her name for people, not to mention she will probably never be able to find her name on any junky souvenirs from Disney. Those things are important to a kid.
Kerrington - This is cute, but it's usually spelled Carrington, so she will be forever correcting people, not to mention she will probably be called Carrie/Kerrie. Not sure if this is annoying to you.
Kiera - pretty name, but everyone will think you named her after the actress. Also, same comments as Kylie. Too young sounding and she will have to spell it forever, even though it's spelled the traditional way, the name is "new" enough that a lot of people will not know how to spell it at all and she will have to spell it out for them.
Kendal - I think this is fine, as long as you spell it Kendall. Removing the one L will be annoying forever for spelling reasons, and it seems like you're trying to make it "youneek". It's gender neutral, so she will have to deal with mail and email being addressed to Mr. Kendall Last Name.
What about names with a C, same as the K sound? Cassandra, Caroline, Catherine, Cameron?
I actually love the name Carly, but not spelled Karley or Karleigh. It's just too "youneek". I may be a judgy mcjudgerson (actually I know that I am, LOL) but when I see a name spelled like that I assume the parents are trashy teenagers.
ETA - I'm with your H, I really like Kiersten. Is the K an absolute must? What about
Kaitlyn
Kara (LOVE this name)
Katerina
Kelsey
i wish nikki cox hadn't jacked up her face!

I KNOW! What the hell happened to her? Her lips, her forehead, everything is such a mess, she looks totally disgusting.
i think she went down the tara reid path of "more surgery to stay famous"...cuz her acting talent is not really there. some people don't know how to let the hollywood thing go.

Thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate them! I'm really not in love with any names and I think that's the hardest part.
As for all the spelling stuff my name is about as common as they come and I have forever had to tell people how to spell it. I think it's something that is hard to avoid.
Kerrington I actually got from a girl on so you think you can dance and she really spells it Kherington but I'm a fan of the H. I just prefer the K spelling over the C spelling.
Kaleigh was picked b/c Leigh is my middle name. H really likes Carly/Carleigh but one of the girls I grew up with is Carly and since we are still really close to the family I'd rather not use that name.
Kiera I got out of a baby name book and my first thought was that's the daughter on Reba!
And it doesn't have to be a K, that is just what we seem to be attracted to. Another K name we had on the list is Kenley but I'm not totally sold on it.
H really likes Audrey also but again one of my friends named her daughter that. I had thought Aubrey instead but I don't know.
