| Do you like these names?
Feedback?...
Amelie Rose Kessel Beattie aka Amelie Rose K. Beattie
or
Griffin Knowlton Kessel Beattie aka Griffin Knowlton K. Beattie
Knowlton is pronounced nole-tun and is a family name we are using. Kessel is my maiden name and my father died this year and has no male grandkids to carry on his name so I want to ensure it is passed on and to honor him.
My husband and I agree on some names in addition to those above, but not a lot. We agree on Willow and Lydia also for a girl. He also likes Beckett for a boy. I like that but also like Pierce, Arlo and Silas. I don't think he is too keen.
Thanks in advance! | | | | Status: Offline

| Amelie Rose is absolutely lovely (I was considering it myself). Also, I can very much understand honoring your dad - mine passed away too. If I didn't have a brother to pass on the family name, I'd also would have put it in my child's.
Griffin Knowlton Kessel Beattie sounds a bit mouthful to me, but not too bad. | | | | Status: Offline

| I keep seeing the name Amelie on here... but i have never actually heard this name before? Is it pronounced like Emily, only with a creative spelling??
Of your name choices i really LOVE Willow... i think that name is so unique, so pretty, and so feminine!
Of your boy names, i like Pierce the best! | | | | Status: Offline

| Amelie can either be pronounced sort of like Emily "Am-al-ee" or "Uh-may-lee" | | | | Status: Offline

| I also like Nolan but refuse to do Nolan Knowlton so it might be Nolan Benjamin if it must. | | | | Status: Offline
