What about my prospective names?

Question

I usually don't venture to this side, but since I just gave my insight on some names I thought I would entertain you all with my names for my future girls.

They are:

KeiLana Keilee (Kay-La-Nuh, Kay-Lee)

RiKayla ReNee' (I am actually no longer using this but I like it.)

And I plan to adopt a Japanese girl:

Sayuri Kyoko (sI-U-rEE, kI-yO-kO)

OR

Sayuri Saika (sAy-Kuh)

And my boyfriend would want Ray Jr. I believe...of course he doesn't want to talk about kids now, but you can comment on Ray Jr. Too lol

Answer 1

I think your names are really pretty but might make things tricky for your daughters.

A friend of mine had a cultural name and legal name

We all called her Kalalainie (kah-a-Lane-i) but on paper her name was Caroline. That way she had the pretty name that everyone called her but she was forever spelling her name over the phone.  

Answer 2

Wow! You will be spelling them for everyone every time you need them to write the names down. I know that my brother always has to spell his daughter's, Kirralee, which isn't uncommon.

Good luck with any adoption that you may do.

Answer 3

Thinking of the children being in school, do consider the culture of the neighborhood where you will be living, and the ease or difficulty for English(/or other) speaking classmates to pronounce these names correctly.  

If you are living in an English speaking and spelling area, then do realize that the girls will forever need to spell and pronounce their names for everything they do and everywhere they go.

Ray Jr. would not experience these difficulties.

Answer 4

wow they are very different,not sure if I like them as the spellings look very jumbled and she would be forever correcting people on how to say and spell her name

I agree with the post above me that its virtualy impossible to adopt a japanese child so maybe you could adopt a chinese girl

please answer my question http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...

Answer 5

you may want to change the spelling for keilana keilee. the "kei" part tripped me up a bit. if you didnt have a pronuncaition guide i would have thought it was kell-la-nuh. but they are all nice names. i like rikayla too. i have no opinion on the japanese names cuz i'm not japanese.

Answer 6

Whoa!  A few too many random capitalizations.  The names look very made up and have a very low rent quality to them.

FYI, it's pretty much impossible to adopt a child from Japan.

Answer 7

I like the Japanese names.  

Answer 8

I prefer Sayuri Saika.
