Baby girl Siefert

*Girl *Siefert (long 'e' sound as in "chief") *Dad is German American and Mom is African American with Swedish and Scotch-Irish roots *We want a name that is unique but classic, not hard to spell, and doesn't have a lot a syllables (We love Emma but that name is just too common now) *K, C *Middle name will be Elizabeth or Camille, depending what works best. Please no S names (too much alliteration going on there).

First of all congrats! There are lots of good names in your realm. We are wondering if you want to reflect one heritage more than another? Let us know and we can also find more name options.
The first name that popped to mind with German roots that is similar to Emma is Gretta, though it's not a K or C name, it is fantastic. Gretta Elizabeth Siefert is beautiful and a cool nickname could be Etta.
What about Camille Elizabeth and calling her Millie? or Camilla Elizabeth and calling her Mila (pronounced mee-la) as a nickname? Camilla is the Swedish version of Camille.

Other K and C girl names that may fit your bill:
Carina
Katarina
Caroline
Clara
Klara
Coraline
Keelin
Kaie
Callan
Callie

Let us know if you like any of these and we can go from there.

Nellesen names

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out boy and girl names that sound best with the surname Nellesen. I like Ingrid Elizabeth Nellesen for a girl but my husband does not. I also like Sean, Charlie and Justin for a boy, but my husband isn't sure... What do you recommend?

Maybe instead of Ingrid, go for a similar name in style but a little more girly, like Gretta. Would you and your husband be open to European names?
Alternatives to Sean, Charlie and Justin... you could go old-school, really old-school with a name like Seamus/Shaymus. A name like Maxwell is also an old American name and has much of the same feel as Charlie, but more unused.
Let us know some of your preferences so we can develop a list for you!

General names that we think go with Nellesen:

Girls:
Nanette
Gretta
Marlowe
Darby
Amelia
Amelie
Ella (depending on how you pronounce your name)

Boys:
Ellis (again, depending on pronunciation, this may not work)
Maxwell
Emmet
Ian
Charleston
Andrew


We'll think on this further and can make a better list once we know your preferences.

Here's a few for starters, we can take it from here and narrow it down:
Maxwell or Max Watson has a great ring to it! Sounds like a CEO name.
Gabriel... also liking Gabe Watson. Very manly but friendly.
Xavier... Xavier Watson sounds Princeton-esque

Featured product of the week: Blackberry Curve 8320

This is a super bargain, you actually end up getting a check back for almost $50 when it's all said and done. The Blackberry Curve 8320 gets great reviews. I just ordered one tonight. What sealed the deal for me: it works on WiFi networks to boost the signal for no extra cost. Or you can use it on WiFi with an added $10 a month charge and all calls made to anyone are free.
