Okay
so Devan and I had a pretty difficult time picking out the name! I kind
of thought we were never going to agree on one! I love unique names! My
name is fairly unique and I loved never having to share a name with
someone else in my school or work. Devan, on the other hand, likes
unique but not too unique of a name.
At
first we both liked (Devan actually loved) the name Taylee.. Then I did
a little research and decided there are quite a few Taylee's out there
and that it was too common of a name. So it was a no for the name
Taylee.
Then I thought of the name McKarty.. Which I still absolutely LOVE this
name, but sadly Devan literally HATED it! I tired and tried to talk him
into it! Then I figured I couldn't name her something that he really
didn't like, so out went the name McKarty.
Then
we tried to combined both of our favorite names.. McKarty and Taylee
and came up with Maylee. We both liked it but wasn't in love with the
name.. So we kept thinking..
I
know of a little girl named Nayvie and love the name! Devan actually
liked it too! So for a minute we thought about naming her that but then
decided it just wasn't suppose to be her name!
Then
one day Devan came home from work and said he was drove past a sign
that said "LAKIN" and asked what I thought about it. I actually LOVED
the name! We both Loved it! YAY! I decided to change up the spelling a
little bit to make it more of a girly name and that is how we came up
with
LAKYNN!
The middle name just kind of seemed to go with it! There isn't any family meaning behind it, just a cute name we both liked! :)
Here are the top 5 names we picked between..
Here are all the names that made "the list"
Taylee
McKarty
Nayvie
Maylee
Kamree
Nykee
Taislee
Taigley
Tenley
McKamey
McKartnee
Tayvie
You look great & I love her name. I like unique names too
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's name is Tayleigh (like Taylee) and I haven't heard it anywhere! Where did you find it??
ReplyDeleteI found it on a baby name website! We almost named her that but I have a cousin with that name and a friend of ours has a little girl with it as well. Other than that it isn't too common! I love that name! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog! So cute! Weird question- where did you get your shirt?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I got it at Maurice's :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I seriously want that shirt. Did you get it a while ago? I want to find one! It's cute as a maternity shirt and I need more of those!
DeleteMy brother's name is Lakin (Lake-In). I have never heard of it (aside from a last name), as anyone's name except my bro's before! Very pretty for a girl, and I love the -'ynn' to feminize it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this name. I am a mom who loves unique and different names. My children all have uncommon names. Daughter- Waverly, Son- Caymyn (pronunced Kay-man), Daughter- Delylah (pronounced De-li-lah) and Daughter-Daphney. We are expecting number five in Jan and his names will be Leyton (pronounced Lay-ton. If you couldn't tell I also have a fovorite letter. Y. Good luck and contrats!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What lyrical, whimsical, not-at-all-pretentious names you've picked! The quirky spelling of each name is just so...Special. Just like I'm sure you are and I'm sure your daughter will be! Made-up names with "unique" spellings is such an endearing trend.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter’s name is Taylee. We love the name. We get really positive responses about the name and her siblings agree it is the best name ever. She is adorable and looks like an Taylee.
ReplyDeleteBig fan of unique names as well... we have a 6 year old little boy Guinness Bronx and a 2 Year old little girl named Guylee Dallas... they fit them so well I know they were made for them
