Possible names

I don't usually post "what do you think of these names" posts, but for those of you that asked, here are the girl names that are on our list.

1.  Ainsley Brennan _____

2.  Rowan Brennan _____

3.  Riley (or another spelling) Brennan _____

And for the life of me right now, I know there were two more names and I can't remember them! 

But, we are really leaning toward the name Ainsley Brennan ____.  We heard the name Ainsley while we were on our honeymoon in Ireland and we both LOVED it.  Brennan was my grandmother's maiden name.

Re: Possible names

  • I really like Ainsley.  Beautiful name. 
  • I've never heard of the name Ainsley before. How is it pronounced? ANN-sley? It looks pretty in it's written form!

  • Ainsley is a very pretty name. It goes great with Aiden. It's unique but timeless.
  • I love the name Ainsley. Its unique but not crazy.

  • Ainsley's pretty.

    Finley is is also catching on as a girls name.  It has irish origins and has been used as a boy's name for quite some time. 

  • I like Ainsley ok - my cousin named her daughter Ainsley and it was the first time I'd heard it. It felt a little strange at first, but then became natural. I think it's cool.

    I like the other 2 names too - have fun figuring it out!

  • My neighbor has two girls, Ainsley and Riley!!  Like them both!  Like others have said Ainsley does go well with Aiden.
  • Actually, I think all three on your short list sound great, but if you love Ainsley, go for it.

    Brennan's a really cool middle name too. I love the idea of doing family names as middle names.

  • I finally remembered those 2 names that I couldn't think of this morning.... I don't know whether to call it preg. brain or just plain senility (I AM almost 39! haha)  Anyway they were

    Ryanne (Ry-Anne) or just plain Ryan (yes for a girl)

    or

    Ruari (celtic spelling for Rory)

    Both of which I really like, but DH was like "ummm, they're ok I guess"

  • As a graduate of Rowan University, I'm rooting for Rowan Smile Love the middle name, too!

  • Ooooh Ryan is my favorite by far. It's not weird for a girl's name!

  • I love your first three- Rowan is my favorite, and I'm normally not a big "guy name for girls" chick. But, I AM big on checking the meaning of names, so, Rowan would be perfect if there's a redhead in there. ;)

    Definitely no redheads in this genetic pool!  And if by some chance she comes out with red hair.... well then DH is going to have A LOT of questions for me!!!

    And Chris, if you are still working on your portfolio in April, then maybe we could get a chance to get together and you can add another newborn girl to your collection.  I absolutely love love love all your pics.  You have a natural talent for photography (not that you haven't studied and practiced, but you know what I mean!)  Smile

  • Aww, thank you! I love Rowan anyway. Red hair can be funny- there is definitely red hair in our family somewhere, but, it pops so rarely! I have a niece with FIRE red hair, but, she's only the second red head in our family line right now. Who knows. ;)

    Even if I'm not working on my portfolio in April, we can work something out. I'm taking Ari's pictures tomorrow, and I am SOOOO freaking excited about it! Newborns are just the sweetest little heart breakers!

  • Why did you put a long line for your last name when your screen name has it and your ticker has "McMahon #2!!!!!" in it?????
