A woman at my church named Laura Beth (her DH is Brett) had a baby girl this week: Bailey Michelle. I actually like this "ly" name and that she did not use an alternative spelling (Leigh, or Lee) Her other children are named Shelby, Titus, and Jonah Lee. WDYT of these names and sibset? Their surname ranks high on the rankings, so that might be why they might not be selecting trendy names.

Top names:

Girl: Emma and Catherine
Boys: Daniel and Liam

I really like Titus, but I probably would use it due to the "tight" aspect. Lee is a nice middle name. Shelby and Bailey aren't my style. They do fit in the current trend for names like Paisley and Everly.

Jonah seems like an odd choice since he was such a flawed character in the Biblical account.

There is a baby named Everleigh at my church. This spelling makes me cringe!

I would consider Bailey and Shelby super trendy. I really dislike both of them.

The most confusing sibset! Shelby, Titus, Jonah and Bailey?? So very random. Titus sticks out badly.

I was honestly thinking the same thing! Shelby and Bailey are similar enough. Shelby and Titus are similar enough. Jonah has very little in common with the others.

I like Bailey alright. Seems very 90s, along with Shelby, I'd expect those two to be late teens at least. And then Titus and Jonah Lee seem completely out of left field.

I love Jonah and Titus, but not any of the others.

I don't like Bailey - I don't see how anyone could name their child after a liquor. I'm not fond of the other siblings' names either, save for the last one. I adore Jonah and like Lee, but I don't think they go well together.

It's all right, not a huge fan of Bailey. It works really well with the other kids' names though. It's a solid sib set. I like seeing Jonah.
