    Desparate parents-to-be seeking help in solving problem with naming
    baby.  Pondering on the following would appreciate some feedback:
    
    If a girl:
    
              DECOURTA ARIEL
              BRITTNY NOILE
    
    If a boy:
        
              BRYANT DEXTER-ALLAN 
     
    
    Please reply.

    Very unusual!
    
    I like the first lot of girls names very much but, to go
    with Adams, I would have personally swapped them round
    the other way (Ariel is such a pretty name and Decourta
    sounds a little hard for a girl I think).
    
    Adams being a shortish name, a longer first name would make
    a nice bouncy sound - Bryony Adams is nice for a girl with
    perhaps a shorter one for a middle name to round it off.
    
    As for a boy I like your choices very much - unusual again
    but easy to pronounce -  my Manager has a son called Elliott
    which I think is lovely (Elliott Adams?.....has quite a
    distinctive ring to it!)
    
    Hope I may have started some ideas for you although being a
    childless individual I'm not too good on this sort of thing!!
    
    Congratulations and good luck on the names!

    Well, your choice for a boy's name is perfect.  (We're expecting
    our second in November and we've picked out Bryant, which happens
    to be my maiden name, for a boy.)
    
    We also considered Britney (that spelling), but Brittany is one
    of the most common girl's names being used right now, so we decided
    to stay away from it.  I do think that the three consonants (TTN)
    together seems a little awkward.  I'd suggest either dropping a
    T, or going with the more common spelling (Brittany).
    
    I like Decourta a lot.  Very unusual.
