Estelle is my wife's middle name. Aryana is just a unique name and I didn't give her the middle name which doesn't fit she has my sense of grace lol...

Lorenzo was my grandfathers first name and he died 3 months to the day prior to my son being born

June is both my mothers middle name and my wife's grandmothers first name

So far each kid besides Aryana has a name associated with the family somehow.

I keep going between Savanah and Brooklyn for a girl...but its 8 months away so got plenty of time lol...

One of my cousins has a Maine coon cat named "Bentley". Big, very sweet kitty-boy.

I think "Bentley" suits a cat much better than a child...unless it's an old family name.

I'd suggest doing a little family research and finding an ancestral surname (or given name) that you like and that hasn't been used for a while by either your extended family or the general public. It's nice that your older children have family names.

As I've posted elsewhere, watch out for awkward initials which unintentionally spell a word you may not want to have applied to your child.

Well, there you go!

Any particular reason you like Savanah (not Savannah?) and Brooklyn?

That's funny. We were going to name our daughter Luna, but then we found out that our daughter was actually going to be a boy; so we instead named our female puppy Luna LOL

The cutest *baby* I've seen (other than mine, obviously), was a 6 mos. old named, "Dustin."

There was a poor child at my kid's school named Bret Michaels. Sure, he was a rocker his MOM liked, but he can't stand [his own?] music. I give my children common names, but spell them uniquely. For instance -> Evin (pronounced Evan).

Be creative, select something with an *if* to it. I was feeling sorry for myself and complained to a friend that I probably wouldn't get any flowers (I was going to be in for a week), and he disagreed. So, I said, "I'll let the first person to send me flowers decide to how to spell her name. Sara (which I really liked), or Sarah. I had been referring to my [former] husband, or the grandparents.

While I was in bed, waiting for surgery 4 hours early, I received a small bouquet with a great big card: KISS SARA FOR ME!

You could always recycle some older names, Lola, Cora, Marion, Walter, Royce, etc.

I think "Aryana" is the only unique name here. The others are fairly common, at least well-known by most people, although I'm assuming "Emory" is a girl because you probably wouldn't give a boy the middle name of "June". That's still an ongoing trend, I guess--switching a boy's name to a girl's name.

Yesenia (girl, i always liked this name)
Dulce (girl, means sweet)
Problem with those names is that the bearer is doomed to a life of no one having the foggiest idea of how to say their names. I guess they could be "X" for short!

I'd stay away from Bentley myself. Isn't that the name of one of the kids on Teen Mom?
This trendy bit about giving kids car names may end up pegging their ages 20/30/40 years from now.

Just sounds good to me...I don't know this time it seems like it's easy picking a name,last time it took 6 months literally to figure a name out we liked. Savannah is good as well I love spelling names differently.
