My own name question

I like Katrina best, myself. Haley and Riley both strike me as too trendy and, while Brianna is a nice enough name, I'm just not overly fond of it. So, if *I* were picking from that list, it would be Katrina. Agreed all the way. I don't dislike any of those names, but Katrina is my fave. --Helen |

All the sudden I'm terrified I won't be able to fill out the birth certificate paperwork because we haven't agreed on a name yet. Here's our short list. I've won the middle name battle, it doesn't look like I'm going to win the first name battle, so while none of these names are my favorite, they're what we agree on so far. Haley Riley Brianna (yay, no U, Sophie!) Katrina Any opinions? Denise Sorry, I've been out of town so I'm getting in on this thread a bit late. Of the ones you mentioned, I prefer Katrina for the reasons everyone else mentioned - Haley and Riley are too common, Brianna doesn't go with Anderson (actually, Brianna Anderson reminds me too much of Roseanna Roseannadana from Saturday Night Live LOL). If your DH likes Brianna so much but you're not sure, what about Briony (I've also seen it spelled Bryony)? I've heard it pronounced a couple of ways - "BRIAN-ee" or "BREE-oh-nee".

"Katie" Sorry, I've been out of town so I'm getting in on this thread a bit late. Of the ones you mentioned, I prefer Katrina for the reasons everyone else mentioned - Haley and Riley are too common, Brianna doesn't go with Anderson (actually, Brianna Anderson reminds me too much of Roseanna Roseannadana from Saturday Night Live LOL). If your DH likes Brianna so much but you're not sure, what about Briony (I've also seen it spelled Bryony)? I've heard it pronounced a couple of ways - "BRIAN-ee" or "BREE-oh-nee". Katie DS - almost 7 months old! Well it would be Bri-ahnna, not a long A sound, so I wouldn't worry too much about the Anderson. Plus our last name is hyphenated. We actually have close family friends with A Briohni, nicknamed Noni, so that's not an option. I don't know what we're going to choose. Katrina's been taken off the list because its too close to the Katie we already have plus my husband's indecisive Last night I had a dream Shari Lewis was chasing me singing, "this is the baby without a name.." It was horrible. Denise |

Bryony is the more typical spelling and it's actually a botanical name (bryony is a type of flowering vine, rather like holly, I think). I have always heard it pronounced with a long "i" in the first syllable and short "o" in the second with the accent on the first syllable: BRI-o-nee. I actually think it's a lovely name, but I could never use it since it ends in an -ee sound and would therefore rhyme with our last name (ick). -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy."
