Having a hard time picking..

[Amsan]

I know I only have 139 days to decide on a boys name! It was SO easy when I thought I was having a girl as I love love LOVED the name Alyvia (pronounced Olivia) Grace (grace being my great grandmother's name).

I've never been overly thrilled about boys names and don't have much that mean anything to me, other than my Grandma's maiden name being Mitchell and I love that side of the family (maybe a little more so than the rest? ), so I thought about using Mitchell as his middle name. But I'm so stuck on first names!

I'm not a fan of wacky-"unique" names. I really do like plain and simple names, kind of. I've always like Lucas and Elijah, but I'm not CRAZY about either one of them.

I like previous posters suggestion of Joseph Mitchell

wouldn't Alyvia be pronounced A-Livia not O-Livia

Lol, I was going to say the same thing!

Lol, pretty sure regardless of whether I spelled her name Alyvia or OLIVIA, its still a common name

 

[JJKCB]

but its not pronounced Olivia

A and O are very different sounds

Guess it all depends where you're from because I've always pronounced it "uh" and not "oh"

And I guess if I was planning to spell it the exact way its pronounced it would have been spelled "Uhliveeuh" then wouldn't it?
