I’m having another boy and can’t come up with a name. I have two other boys by the names of Elijah and Isaiah, I would like a name that matches these names. I thaught about Josiah but my husband doesn’t want that name because a friend of our’s(her newphew) has this name. He says the name is too close to home.
Can anyone help?

Thanks,

As someone who birthed a 10 pound, 3 ounce baby, my admiration for Sister Brown knows no bounds.

Congrats all!

Libby #110 appears to have won the prize, with her close spelling variant Anika.

Aaron, I think Annika is an excellent choice. It evokes thoughts of Annika Sorenstam, a very positive role model. The name is well enough known, but unusual enough that it balances out the ubiquity of Brown. Enjoy your new daughter with her newly-minted BCC-approved name!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner! The following was mass mailed from Aaron just a moment ago:

Annika Cannon Brown was born at 4:12 am on August 21, 2006. 22″ long and weighing in at 10 lb, 2 oz. Mother and baby are both doing well.

my boy is Xander Graham Kurt

my girl is Miette Lisbeth

if i have another girl – am unsure

if its a boy it will be thurston gailee… or maybe denree

i love choosing names

i got to name my best mates baby…. she just knew she wanted a Zed name – so I suggested Ziggy because he looked like a spaceman something like Ziggy Stardust….

mmm… If my surname were brown, I would maybe have Autumn Brown or Maeve Brown – just sounds right… Elizbeth is a good english name isnt it

However I choose my names on MEANINGS…. and popularity. in australia Xander hadn’t even had over 1000 births in 100 years (that was 2002) now it is really popular
and if another person asks me if we got it from buffy…………..

Has anyone said the name Keoke? My little neighbor girl was named Keoke. Keoke Kim. I actually love the name Mary.

Hey, good luck picking a name, i would suggest my own name Brydie Elise, which is not very common, and not too hard to spell, but i agree with the many people who suggest a longer name to go with brown, and i have a surname starting with B, and i am sure your daughter would dislike being named BB as much as i do.

A longer name, which is Japanese for princess, although it is a bit hard to spell is Takarah.

Takarah Rose Brown sounds good in my opinion.

If you want some unusual American names think about these. According to the Social Security office these were almost never popular:

Edna
Muriel
Lucy

I think Muriel would be best as it’s 3 syllables like you asked.
