Our oldest is a boy named Mason Anthony Ranney (rhymes with Fannie) and we have a daughter named Brooklyn Renae Ranney. Our third child is also a little girl due November 18. We are having a hard time finding just the right name. Currently our strongest contender is Reagan, but we&#8217;re not completely sold. We&#8217;ve also liked Kaitlyn and Madisyn. If the baby was a boy I loved the name Nolan.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate your suggestions! Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Meagan &amp; Dale Ranney<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I notice two things about the name Reagan. Neither is necessarily a big deal, and both may in fact be pluses rather than minuses. The first is that it is only one letter different from your name. The second is that it is very alliterative with the surname: Reagan Ranney. Particularly because the name Ronald Reagan was also alliterative, this catches my ear and eye.<\/p>\n<p>What I notice about the contender Kaitlyn is that it has the same -lyn ending as Brooklyn. What I notice about the contender Madisyn is that it shares the Ma- and the -son\/-syn with Mason.<\/p>\n<p>So for my list of suggestions, I&#8217;m going to do a mix: some will be suggestions that work with the assumption that you like alliteration, and similarities between sibling names; and some will be suggestions that offer alternatives in case those alliterations\/similarities are why none of the contenders feel quite right. I found I was inclined to avoid names that repeated the -ee\/-ey\/-ie ending of the surname.<\/p>\n<p>Addisyn<br \/>\nAdelyn<br \/>\nAshlyn<br \/>\nAvelyn<br \/>\nCadence<br \/>\nCampbell<br \/>\nEllisyn<br \/>\nEmersyn<br \/>\nHarper<br \/>\nHayden<br \/>\nJaidyn<br \/>\nJordyn<br \/>\nKeelyn<br \/>\nKyla<br \/>\nMakenna<br \/>\nPaige<br \/>\nPayton<br \/>\nRilyn<br \/>\nSavannah<br \/>\nSkylar<br \/>\nTeagan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I am 23 weeks pregnant with our third (and last) child.
