Congrats on the pregnancy! I love the name Fallen Raye, it sounds so feminine and majestic!!!!!! Colin Raye or Carter Raye for a boy sound sweet as well. A trick many parents I have babysat for have given me- pretend you are yelling at the child ( <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) Say the name out loud, if it flows nicely then you have a winner "Fallen Raye......" or "Collin Raye........." both flow really nicely when used in any tone of voice. I know, it sounds weird, but hey, it helps determine if the name flows nicely!

For some reason the name 'Fallon' REALLY jumped out at me when I opened the page. I like it a lot, although I dont really know about the spelling... Try messing around with it and see what you come out with! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Fallyn, Fallynn, Falynn, Fallin, Fallen, etc. (I kinda like the 'y' in there <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ). As a middle name (choosing from the names you have listed) I like Avery best. Falynn Avery looks and sounds the best to me.

As for the boy name, my favourite name on that list would be Colin. I also really like Blake and it would sound great as a middle name with Colin. Colin Blake sounds really cool to me. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I hope I have helped, and good luck with the pregnancy!!

oh lol, I didnt notice the part where you guys already chose the middle name. *slaps hand on forehead for not reading the whole post*

In that case, I love Falynn Raye and either Colin Raye, Blake Raye, or Carter Raye. With Raye as a middle name I like Carter the best. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

OH OH! I've changed my mind! LOL. I like Liam Raye the best!!

I love the name Mason (my 2nd sons name) and it goes great with Raye. I also love the fact that you have combined yours and your husbands name to come up with Raye. As far as the shouting out the name, it works. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
