Baby names are tough

[kestratroi]

I'm trying to be prepared this time around, and have a better idea for names before baby #2 actually arrives. With my son, we didn't really have names chosen. I'm trying to find a name for new baby that goes with the name we chose for my son, Caelen. I want something that contains the "ae

Raphael(la), Azrael (the latter is the archangel of death, though).

[*Edit* I'm an idiot an can only come up with "ea", which you didn't ask for *facepalm*. Leaving them up as you might find an ae name by association, maybe? ]

It might be too similar and the vocals are switched, but the first name I remembered was Kearan (boy). For a girl, I know a Leah and a Rae (the latter is short for Rachel, though), and my sister is named Lea (chinese origin).

I think celtic/irish names also often have the switched around version "ea", like Séamus, Aoibheann etc. I have no idea how they are pronounced, though, and would personally be hesitant to pick a name that has nothing to do with my origins and/ or that will surely cause most people to mispronounce.

I think there are lots of names that can be adapted to have the ae. For example, the traditional spelling of Rachel is that, but I've known several Rachael's and even a Raechel.

So anything with the "ay" sound can be adapted. Caelen can also be Caylin (and my friend has a daughter with that name), so I'd just look for "ay" sounding names and change them to the spelling you want.

I can't think of a name with AE but my advice would be pick a classic and normal name. The weird names that are so trendy right now are just cruel to kids.... and they'll get misspelled their entire lives.
