Yes I know I have this and the poll...I didnt know how to make the poll at first...newbie. I do like it spelled that way and I love that is means pretty in french :) but the only reason Im doing it is because it is a perfect mix of all my sisters names and my partners middle name...Jo and Leigh. So if I do it I have to keep it spelled that way I think.

I already commented on Greyson in your poll.

I like Claire Jolie and prefer this spelling. Jolie (spelled like this) is the french word for pretty :)

I already commented on Greyson on your poll (love it), and I adore Claire. I believe someone else on the forum was using Claire Annaliese and those were two of my favorite names! I think this it sounds like a beautiful, classic name and not too extremely popular. I'm big on not doing the trendy names as well, but my daughter's middle name is Elizabeth It's after DH grandmother though who passed away before our DD was born. (Popular is okay with me if it has meaning).

I would definitely go with Jolee or Jolie for the spelling of the middle name. I'm not too fond of Joleigh.

Ya see that is my same concern with Greyson. I dont know...Im sure we would end up calling him Grey so I guess that is better. Everyone LOVES it in my family especially my partner so I don't know. And Claire was originally Claire Elizabeth but Everyone uses Elizabeth as a middle name now. I like Jolee for the spelling or Jolie but that is very much like Angelina Jolie and is the exact pronunciation. I dont know ...just confused. Plus my partner loves Greyson and this is her first pregnancy with me and my brother Adam is gay and said he wouldn't have any kids so was wondering if he could give his input and he picked Greyson too! So I might be stuck :(

Have any other modernish boy names that would go with Kolton and Spencer???

I liked Greyson for a while too, until everyone kept telling me it was a girls name. I was confused until i saw the name Gracyn in writing to see what everyone is talking about. People are looking for "full" names for Grace and using Gracyn and Graclyn, so i now say its too girly.

Claire Joleigh is cute. Love Claire and the meaning behind it..... But not a fan or the spelling of Joleigh.

We won't find out what we are having until the end of September but of course I already started thinking of names. I think we are having a boy but I am not getting very many opinions on my u/s pic I posted in the other forum so not sure...just my opinion from the u/s pic. Anyway if it is a boy we like Greyson...i think it matches my other two boys; Kolton and Spencer. What do you think? I am worried though that since Greyson is a very unisex name what if he grows up and is filled in a school with a bunch of girl Graysons? ugh...dont know what to do. Does it sound masculine to you guys or not?

If it is a girl we chose Claire Joleigh. We picked Claire years ago...my gram died on St Clairs day and since everyone else has used my gram's name a number of ways I thought Claire would be a nice change but still sentimental. The middle name is because my partners middle name is Jo, my twin's nn is Jo, my youngest sisters name is Ash LEIGH and my other sisters name is Jaimee LEIGH. Is it too out there?? Or does it flow okay?

Sorry Im asking for a lot of advice but Ive just been thinking about this and thought I would get some opinions! thanks!
