My fiance and I are planning names for our kids, we both like the name Malachi but can't figure out a middle name for it.

The kids would be mixed race, African American, Brazilian, White.

Siblings would be:

Dante Jeiel (fiance's favorite name and his first name as the middle name)

Dahlia Jordyn ( my choices, two of my favorite names)

Almeida Ruth (names from a grandmother on his side and a grandmother on my side)

I am thinking Dahlia Jordyn.

Any other flower names to go with Jordyn that aren't too common (Rose, Lily, Daisy)?

Dahlia Jordyn or Jordyn Dahlia?

Other flower names to go with Jordyn?

Preferably starting with C or D.

Preferably not starting with J.

The child will be African American, but we don't want stereotypical "Black" names.

ie. No De'Shawn

Please pick one from each pairing. I'm not pregnant, just wondering what people will choose.

Daphne or Daphna

Penelope vs Phoebe

Josephine vs Josephina

Jordyn vs Jillian

Abigail vs Aaliyah

Tyra vs Tara

Serena vs Sienna

Ruth vs Esther

Nannette vs Natalia

Charlotte vs Chloe

Isabella vs Gabriella

My SO is Brazilian/African American and I am Caucasian.

Other names we have picked out (and we will be using them) are:

Boy:

Dante Jeiel (my SO's pick of first name, and my SO's first name as the middle name)

Girls:

Jordyn Grace (my choice, I love this name, sorry, not sorry if you don't)

Almeida Ruth (family names from both of us)

We're stuck on a middle name for Malachi though. We know we want Malachi as the first name but can't agree on any middle names.

I would not mind him having a Brazilian name for his middle name. Neither of us want a stereotypical 'Black' middle name though.

If you have any other suggestions of names we might like feel free to add those as well.

Danté Jeiel (zhay-yell)

Andre James

If you could give reasons why, that would be nice as well.

Danté Jeiel is a set name, it will be used.

Jeiel is the name of my SO.

My SO is Afro-Brazilian American and I am white so the children will look black/white biracial.

For brothers.

What do you think of the name Devin Adele for a girl?

How about Andre James for a boy?

My boyfriend, soon to be fiance, and I have been thinking of names for when we finally have children.

We are planning on at least 4 children.

So far we have these names picked out.

Girls:

Jordyn Grace

Almeida (Al-may-da) Ruth

Boys:

Dante Jeiel (jay-yell)

-------- Pieter

We need a first name to go with the middle name Pieter.

As a side note to explain some of our name choices my bf is Afro-Brazilian American (Brazilian & African American) I am Caucasian.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Also the names listed are not changing and neither are spellings.

Wayne or Dwayne

Pieter or Paul

Tyler or Taylor

Seth or Samuel

Titus or Thomas

David or Damian

Aaron or Adam

Gideon or Garrett

Miriam

Esther

Ruth

Middle names are not picked out, if you would like you can suggest some.

Emajean

Also would you pronounce it like the two names: Emma Jean or put stress on the "E": EE-ma Jean?

What do you think of using Rachel as boys name?

BQ: Whether you like it or not would you use a different spelling or keep it as is?

*Not expecting nor would I use it I just want people's thoughts.

Almeida

Pronounced AL-may-da

It is a Portuguese name that my boyfriend (soon to be fiance) are considering. We don't plan on having children for quite a few years but are trying to come up with ones that we both like and both families will be able to pronounce reasonably well.

My boyfriend is Brazilian & African American and the name has history in his family. I am Caucasian.

Her nickname would probably be Mae. Though I am also trying to figure out what spelling we should use May, Mae or Mei.

BQ: Middle name ideas?

(Neither of us like the super trendy or overly misspelled names)

My boyfriend - soon to be fiance - and I have started looking at names even though we don't plan on having kids any time soon.

We have come up with a few names that we both like reasonably well.

So here are the names being 'debated' right now.

Which do you like better?

Darius Jeiel

(Dare-ee-us. Jay-el)

or

Dimitri Jeiel

(D-mee-tree. Jay-el)

or

Damian Jeiel

(Day-me-en. Jay-el)

Jeiel is my boyfriend's first name and I would like to use it as the middle name, he is unsure about that.

Other first/middle name suggestions are welcome. (They don't have to start with D or J)
