It can be pronounced several ways but I like either (in the Jared phonetic alphabet) EYE-ree or A(uh)-ree. It means, um, eagle's nest. What about Eyrie (or Aerie)?

So basically every name you came up with had to be something totally new. I always thought it would be a good Onion article to do something about the MPAA suing people for name infringement for using celebrity child names like Apple and Suri :) It would make me laugh.

I've never heard of Alivia, just Olivia. Are they pronounced differently? As to a couple of suggestions, I like the name Renee, but that's a name I would like to use for my own daughter (not that I have one on the way or anything). Still, you're free to use it. And then just a name that I thought flowed well with Kaelyn (I like the name by the way): Kaelyn Danielle Miller. That way you got that "l" sound throughout the entire name. Kind of poetic. You could even go with Kaelyn Daniela Miller. Just a thought off the top of my head. Marie is nice also.

So now that I've seen Kaelyn written down I like it a whole bunch more. I like the sound of "Kaelyn Jared Miller" Or maybe "Kaelyn Moon-Unit/Murgatroyd Miller" Moon-unit literally means Moon-unit. Murgatroyd means, "I'll never have a boyfriend." You see why I like Murgatroyd. Delorian has a nice ring to it, too, as do Telecaster, Accordion, and Operational Amplifier. You could also go with more vague names like "Daughter," "Girl," or, my favorite, "Niece (To The Greatest Uncle In the World)." (Eric and I will have to fight over the true meaning of that last one.) If all else fails, you could just go with Valencia, Janice Joplin, or Regina Spektor (unless you wanna stick with just three names). But seriously, I kinda do like Kaelyn Valencia Miller. Throw an X and a Z in there and you've just about got the whole alphabet. I think a three syllable name works best. Like Elizabeth, Samantha, or Constantine. Maybe the middle name could come from poetry since the first name was chosen partially because of its meaning. Kinda mix it up. Maybe Christobel? (DON'T! In fact, don't even read Christobel. It's a little dark and vampirish and, um, other things for my taste.) Or just skip all that and name her Muse. I'm sure that's what she'll be to me. Wow.
