Baby #4 is a girl. Our other kids are:
Elisabeth (Ellie)
Benjamin
Connor
We are considering either Isabelle (but it's a bit popular) or Annabelle (is it too frilly compared to the others?) I want it to fit in with the other names-what do you think?? any advice appreciated!Need name advice for baby #4 (girl)?
Hmm, Love Isabella or Isabelle, you could call her Bella. I don't like Annabelle, sounds too old fashioned. How about Alyssa, or Alyska?Need name advice for baby #4 (girl)?

For some reason I don't like Ananbelle and I prefer Isabella but I get you on the last name ending in a.
How about:
Danielle (Dani) then you have B/C/D/E
But apart from that I like Paige or Gabrielle (Gabby)
I love Isabelle its very cute and when she is older its sofisticated
How bout Michelle or Jennifer

I have a baby name book that on top of the name, meaning, origin, etc... it also gives ';sibling names'; and one name that showed up as a sibling name with all three of your childrens names was Leah. Sarah showed up as a sibling name for Benjamin and Ellie. One of my favorite names showed up as a sibling name for Ellie, but not the others and that name is Brynn.
Okay so I hear ya on the name ending with an A and last name beginning with an A (one of the reasons none of our kids have a name that ends with a ';k'; sound) so here are some other nice choices (although I do like Isabelle... but, it is getting very common) the popularity #'s are from 2003 so may have fluxuated since then...
Addison or Addyson (nickname Addie) popularity is #192
Caydence-- pop. #478
Karlie--pop. #187
Lauren--pop. #15
Sophie--pop #20
Erin--pop.#81
Jillian--pop#137
Kennedy--pop. #123
Mallory---popl #234
Rylee--pop. #72 (my daughters name)
Simone--pop#548
Congrats on Baby #4

Jessica is nice but may be too popular
Congrats on #4! Your other children have such lovely, solid names that will suit them well into adulthood.
You're right to fret that Isabelle is madly popular. But what's more, Isabelle and Elisabeth are closely related names. Isabelle is generally considered the Spanish variant of Elizabeth. So while the names sound distinct, I always find it curious when two siblings share nearly the same name - like having a Joseph and a Joel, an Allen and an Alyssa, or a Sally and a Sadie.
Annabelle is a touch on the frilly side. You might stick with the more tailored spelling Annabel, which I quite like.
Or have you considered Mariel? It's a lovely Danish variant of Mary, made famous by the actress Mariel Hemingway, but still quite underused. It has the same vibe as Elisabeth with an ';s'; - classic, but with an elegant twist.
Best wishes!
Hannah, or Madison, or Lauren
Isabelle
i don't think isabelle is good. a lil to old-fashioned for me. annabelle is okay, she could go by anna if she wanted to.
i think Melody is a really pretty name. if she doesnt like that name, she can always go by Mel or Dee. maybe Melody Anne or something
Mindy Rose,
Madison Elle,
Megan Ava and
Makenzie Louise
There on my list!
Isabelle is like a dog's name, IsabellA is pretty though! Annabelle is sweet!
What about a name that started with the letter ';D';? You already have names that start with, B,C, and E. Your missing the ';D';.
What about...
DAISY: Latin for ';day's eye.';
DALIA: Hebrew for ';branch.';
DANIELLE: Feminine form of Daniel.
DAPHNE: Greek for ';laurel.'; +
DARA: Semitic for ';pearl of wisdom.';
DARCY: Irish for ';dark.';
DARLA: Dear, loved one.
DAWN: From the Scandinavian for ';dawn.';
DEBORAH: Hebrew for ';bee.';
DELIA: From the Greek place name ';Delos'; and a pet form of Bedelia. .
DELILAH: From the Hebrew for ';amorous.';
DELLA: Pet form of Adella.
DESIREE: From the Latin for ';crave'; and French for ';desire.';
DINAH: From the Hebrew for ';judgment.';
DIXIE: A variation of ';Dixon';
DONNA: Latin for ';lady.';
DORA: Greek for ';gift.';
DORIS: Greek for ';of the sea.';
DOROTHY: Greek for ';gift of God.';
DULCIE: Latin for ';sweet.';
Annabelle, Ellie, Benjamin and Connor
Isabelle, Ellie, Genjamin and Connor
I like Annabelle better
Here are a few names
Rosabelle, Ellie, Benjamin and Connor
Arabella, Ellie, Benjamin and Connor
Arianna, Ellie Benjamin and Connor
Isadora, Ellie Benjamin and Connor
I like Rosabelle with Ellie Benjamin and Connor better then isabelle and Annabelle
I absolutely love all the names of your kids! Great choices lol - traditional and timeless but still nice and modern-sounding. I especially love that spelling of Elisabeth over Elizabeth, and with the nickname Ellie (my favorite girl's nickname of all time). I definitely wouldn't go with Isabelle, though it's a pretty name, it's just way too popular. Not that Elisabeth, Benjamin, or Connor are too uncommon, but none of them are popular in the trendy way that Isabelle is. Annabelle would be a really good fit with the others, in my opinion, and if you wanted it to be a little less frilly, what about the spelling Annabel instead? The -belle is what really seems to make it a bit poofy lol. Elisabeth, Benjamin, Connor, and Annabel would sound beautiful together. Or you could go with Isadora, instead of Isabelle.
The only thing with Annabel though would be the fact that then you'd have a kind of ABC theme going on, so if that doesn't bother you guys, definitely go with Annabel. If it does, these are some names that are kind of similar in style (in my head, anyway lol): Georgia (or Georgina), Madeline (though this is nearly as popular as Isabelle), Isadora, Juliette, Laura/Laurel, Violet, Nicolette, Matilda/Mathilde, Sara, Susannah, Hannah (though the double -n is a little close to Connor), Rebecca, Gretchen, Katharine (Kit), Victoria, Josephine (Josie), etc. Try www.nymbler.com for more names - all you do is type in names you already like (Elisabeth, Benjamin, Connor) and up will come tons more that match.
Good luck and congrats!!
I love Annabelle. Isabelle is cute too, but your right, it is a bit popular.
Amelie?
Laura?
Lorna?
belle
I prefer Isabelle on Annabelle and I think it works fab with the other kids names.
I would not be worried if its popular or not - the other kids names are not that rare either right? and they are still very beautiful!
good luck
emily or
kelli or
carolina ( my favorite)
kristen
katie ) my 2nd favorite
allison
bethany
I think it should start with a ';D'; so it would be Benjamin, Connor, DAYLIN, Elisabeth...like the alphabet.
Carrie Anne ..
I love that name
Well since my daughters name is Isabel I would have to go with your pick of Isabelle!! I love that name!! Congratulations
Prefer Elizabeth and Ben

I need advice on asking this girl out!?
Ok, so there is this girl at my highschool.
I'm 14, she's 15.
We talk a good amount, when i talk to her in person, i try to look at her in the eyes and lips most of the time.(Of course looking away casually.)
She looks me right back in the eyes, and looks away casually.
I've caught her looking at me a few times, as she has caught me also.
When she catches me, she just smiles at me.
Same goes for when I catch her looking at me.
When we are talking over an IM, or facebook, when she has to go she will be like. ';I have to go, im sorry!';
Both of us have started conversations, aswell ended them.
Now here comes the party I am most afraid of. I'm scared that if I ask her out, and she says no, it may make out friendship awkward.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
So, do you think she likes me?I need advice on asking this girl out!?
I made the first move with my best friend also, and i was nervous abouth the same thing that you are. But i realized that i really like him so i went thru with it anyway, and now were going out. I know that she likes you , its jus plain obvious!I need advice on asking this girl out!?
I would continue with the friendship for a little while and see how it goes and then if you are really sure that she likes you then go ahead and ask her out.

Some relationship advice? Guys, help a girl out?
Hey, so I'll keep this as short as I can-- sorry!
I have a friend that I've known for around four years, and I'm just head over heels for him. I care so much about him (as a friend, and even more)
Anyways, there's been something there, and a friend of ours has figured it out. The other night, he and a friend were practicing a routine, and I offered to be the music re-starter, to which his friend's GF says ';aww, aren't you the good girl friend.';
Then the other day I was playing a song on speakers that I/ he liked (it's a pretty particular song) and I was watching him, and he didn't know, and when he looked at my ipod I saw this really warm smile come across his face.
No specific moves have been made. But the issue [not for me, but possibly him] is that I'm 18, he's 25. By comparison to other individuals my age, I'm definitely an old soul, and just based on the independence I was required to have growing up, I feel that I'm more than you're ';average teenager'
Aside from that, guys, what should I do? I'm quite shy, and he is too. I don't know if just asking him ';do you think there could ever be anything between us?'; or just talking to a mutual friend. I really like him, more than I've liked anyone else before.
p.s. mom has met him on multiple occasions and approves. hahaSome relationship advice? Guys, help a girl out?
If your mom approves of him, that's a good sign. Perhaps she could talk to him one day when you're not there and get a feel for how he feels about you. Possibly even give him a nudge by letting him know how you feel, in case he's worried that if he makes a move on you, you'd respond negatively based on his age. If he only sees you as a friend, then obviously it would be wise to somehow let him know so that he can try to be sensitive to your feelings, instead of unintentionally doing something that breaks your heart.
He sounds like a lucky guy as well as a great guy to be with, so I'd recommend having SOMEONE feel him out and if he does like you as more than a friend, then if he won't make a move, you need to.Some relationship advice? Guys, help a girl out?
hmm well u can confront em and tell him how u feel don't apply to chick rules where the dude has to ask u out first if your an ';old soul'; you can be very artistic about it. I can elaberate on that but eh I fats go.
Why not ask him if he wants to go for a drink with you and see what he says by his answer you will know if he is interested or not good luck
You have to talk to him seriously and alone. Make sure no one else is around and just talk to him from your heart. He will respect that.
best just to talk to him if you are comfortable with him. I hope this helps. it will sort things out and clear any uncertainities.
I had a uncle and a aunt, both very shy. It is said that my uncle
cleared his throat and my aunt said ';aha';. There's not that much difference in your ages. Find a way to spend some time together
alone. Invite him over for supper that - you cook. One of you has to speak up. OK? Tell him about my uncle and aunt. He just might
clear his throat. Be ready with your own aha. Good luck.
I'll tell you one thing first, and that's that I'm by far no expert. I'll try my best to help you out, however :)
What I keep seeing is that girls tend to think that guys are a lot more complex than we really are. We're really too easy, ask us out, and we'll approve (and reading through your little story there, I'm doubly sure that your friend wouldn't disappoint you)
It's just to make a move, really. What's the point of living if you can't feel alive? ;)
Well He has a Girlfriend...so He is not just going to leave her, Uhh that is pretty tough. Well yeah why don't you ask/Text him ';do you think there could ever be anything between us?';
Why don't you see first how tight is their relationship, if doesn't look serious, you can Just wait for him, and give him signs here and there you like him [Not infront of his Girlfriend or her friends, you don't want trouble]
But if it was tight just back off a little bit, and still give him signs, so you can show that you like him.
Maybe in MSN why don't you chat with him longer, Or in Facebook, comment in some of his Pictures...Don't comment alot so his GF won't know.
To show him your not his Average Teenage friend, show him your mature....Well he probally think you are a kid, I mean I liked a guy SO MUCH, but he thought I was kid but I was 4 years younger....But maybe you will get Lucky.
Okay become really friendly with him.
look GORGEOUS in some events he will entend. Because looks help, that doesn't mean go have sex with him in the first date....You will regret if you did...you may get pregnant.
Don't Play Hard to get, Please don't, he will think you don't like him anymore, and your with another guy, and he will forget you.
But first when time comes, ask/text him if there is chance, if there is a yes well CONGRATZ, if it is a Maybe you have to tell/Text him ';Hmmm?'; let see what he replies, if it is a No sorry Girl.
Good luck =]
I wouldn't worry about the age ';problem';. I recently started talking to a guy who was 25 while I'm 18 %26amp; in my opinion, if the guy doesn't see a problem w/ it, why should we?
I think you should start off by asking a mutual friend if the guy in question has said anything about you regarding his feelings for you. If they've got nothing, then I would ask him if he thinks anything will ever happen between the two of you. I know how it is to be shy (I'm shy too), but shyness can hold you back from experiencing a lot of good things in life. Don't let it hold you back.
Ok well you sound really mature for your age and so I don't think that age really matters in the situation and neither should he if he's really interested which by the sounds of things he is. You should hang out sometime and then when the time is right just ask him straight up ';do you think there could ever be an us?'; and then see what he says.. it should be pretty easy to figure out if he likes you by his answer :)
hope i helped !

Need advice on how to be stepfather to a 17 year old boy & a 7 year old girl?
Being a step parent comes with the challenge of ';replacing'; (in the mind of children) the other biological parent. However, it is your house, and you and your wife need to unit in the front of parenting as well as establishing boundaries/rules. With that in mind, first step is to work with your spouse on parenting the children, make sure you two are on the same page and that you are supporting each other in front of the children. This will help diffuse some of the issues that will arise, especially with the 17 year old.
Next, spend time getting to know each child asking about their school day, homework, friends. Work on letting the kids know that you respect their biological father but that you have an interest in being in their lives too and will continue to be a consistent and reliable person for them.
Most of all, ask questions, allow them to talk, and give it all time. Nothing happens in a day, as I am sure you know.Need advice on how to be stepfather to a 17 year old boy %26amp; a 7 year old girl?
The most important thing to remember is to let the mother do the disciplining. This has been shown time and time again in research, and as a child with a step-father, I was aware of this before I could read! Just be friends with them and provide support, understanding, and be open. They will eventually learn to appreciate this and will not resent you for trying to be 'dad' by being strict or disciplining.Need advice on how to be stepfather to a 17 year old boy %26amp; a 7 year old girl?
Find something you have in common with the 17 year old, and try to spend time with him, go places where you two can talk and bond. myself and my father go to flea markets and baseball games (try sundays when your not likely take time away from is friends) all the time, those 3ish hours are great we talk and laugh alot about everything. The 7 year old may be easier try just playing with her dolls dress up act as goofy as possible, also help with homework and things like that and make that fun shell love you
Good Luck
The 17 year old is nearly grown, so be supportive and treat his mom and sister right. That will be most important to him. With the 7 year old, listen to her, get to know her, be a great example. But Mom should be doing any disciplining until you have a strong and healthy relationship with her as her step-dad.
Hm, the 17 year old will be trickier than the 7 year old. First, try to connect with both of them,but don't smother. Give them space when they need it, but set up opportunities for you to get to know them 101.
Make sure the younger one realizes you're role as an authority, but focus more on getting to know the older child. Hope this helps.
The 17 year old is probably NEVER going to accept you as a father so I wouldn't get too involved there.
The 7 year old will probably have a lot of trust issues so just listen to her, support her but be firm. The more you have boundaries the more they will respect you.
Good luck! That's an awful place for you to be!!! I'm glad I'm not in your shoes.
be there for them let them know you are not trying to take their father's place love them and my boyfriend would always say my kid her kids when somebody asked him if they were his and he would treat his kid better and i would treat her like i do mine we only see each other when my kids are not home but i keep his little girl on weekends after 3 years i feel she is mine she loves me my kids hates him her mom passed way in 2002 and my kids dad is in prison since 2005 so it is hard on the kids but don't let them treat you bad either because the way he treated my kids we went from living together to him staying weekends and non school days to a couple hours a week together so good luck
Good luck, especially with the 17 year old. Be sure you don't try to act too much like his father, but rather a parental figure / friend. He may be jealous that you're with his mom. Be patient with him... As for the 7 year old, I think she'll get adjusted much easier. Children at that age are easier to win over...

Next, spend time getting to know each child asking about their school day, homework, friends. Work on letting the kids know that you respect their biological father but that you have an interest in being in their lives too and will continue to be a consistent and reliable person for them.
Most of all, ask questions, allow them to talk, and give it all time. Nothing happens in a day, as I am sure you know.Need advice on how to be stepfather to a 17 year old boy %26amp; a 7 year old girl?
The most important thing to remember is to let the mother do the disciplining. This has been shown time and time again in research, and as a child with a step-father, I was aware of this before I could read! Just be friends with them and provide support, understanding, and be open. They will eventually learn to appreciate this and will not resent you for trying to be 'dad' by being strict or disciplining.Need advice on how to be stepfather to a 17 year old boy %26amp; a 7 year old girl?
Find something you have in common with the 17 year old, and try to spend time with him, go places where you two can talk and bond. myself and my father go to flea markets and baseball games (try sundays when your not likely take time away from is friends) all the time, those 3ish hours are great we talk and laugh alot about everything. The 7 year old may be easier try just playing with her dolls dress up act as goofy as possible, also help with homework and things like that and make that fun shell love you
Good Luck
The 17 year old is nearly grown, so be supportive and treat his mom and sister right. That will be most important to him. With the 7 year old, listen to her, get to know her, be a great example. But Mom should be doing any disciplining until you have a strong and healthy relationship with her as her step-dad.
Hm, the 17 year old will be trickier than the 7 year old. First, try to connect with both of them,but don't smother. Give them space when they need it, but set up opportunities for you to get to know them 101.
Make sure the younger one realizes you're role as an authority, but focus more on getting to know the older child. Hope this helps.
The 17 year old is probably NEVER going to accept you as a father so I wouldn't get too involved there.
The 7 year old will probably have a lot of trust issues so just listen to her, support her but be firm. The more you have boundaries the more they will respect you.

you have to tell her sometime and asking a girl out will help make it easier for you to ask other girls out and it gets easier
you could ask a friend to ask her out for you or you can write her a note but you should probably ask her yourselfI need advice on asking a girl out?
Just tell her.

Need some advice about dating a girl who has been in an abusive relationship?
How could the guy prove or show her that he will not beat her or be abusive towards her like her ex. I know it's hard for a girl like that to trust, but say that we both have feelings for each other, but it seems impossible at the moment, because she thinks it'll happen again. We have both had some long talks about the situation, and she keeps avoiding it and saying she doesn't know if she could trust another guy for a long time. The thing is we have both known each other for 3 years and she has seen me get angry and lose my cool, but i don't want her to think i would be like that with her, cos i wouldn't. I have never, and wouldn't ever hit a girl. So how do i go about things?Need some advice about dating a girl who has been in an abusive relationship?
i just got out of one like 3 months ago and i haven't dated since opportunities have come by for me but ive never given it a chance..talk to her and tell her to give this a try and see where it goes tell her u understand that's its not easy but promise her ur different and that u will treat her with up-most respect..just tell her to give it a try and tell her to give u a chance to prove yourself that u are a much better man and has the decency not a hit a woman..but remember u must be serious about her cause after what shes been through shes not ready for a short 2 month fling make sure that you are going to give it ur all and try not to get mad around her for a little bit so she can see that u are trustworthy..i hope i helped you and best of luck...Need some advice about dating a girl who has been in an abusive relationship?
I was in an abusive relationship. Really bad too. It took me a long time to get back into a relationship. I think what helped me was the guy, who I liked, and liked me a lot (such as your situation) took his time. He didn't pressure me to date, and just subtly started doing little things to make sure I knew he would never be awful to me like my last boyfriend. Be a man. Give her time. Be a gentlemen...
So, she has seen you ';lose your cool...'; and you want her to trust you...
She needs to run from you as fast as she can.
beat her till she gets the message
