Baby names!!!

I'm starting to really like old fashioned names as well, although non of them have made it into my list yet. But I want to explore more into older names. I actually weirdly like cordelia and Deliah for short. I'm on a few fb baby name pages and I mainly want to cringe.
What is with people and spelling names weird. It looks trashy.

Names circle around, so a ton of old fashioned names are really rising in popularity (not necessarily common, but climbing and not "weird"). Cordelia is one of my favorites! I like the nickname Cora.
I'm surprised you see people on name boards spelling things weird...I'm on three now and have been on a few more really popular ones and changing spellings is really frowned upon in those circles (for good reason, it's tough on a kid and causes judgement about them/their families). I don't see the appeal of it besides being creative, but idk why you wouldn't just choose another name!
Romy I love your names! Aurelia June was a front running choice for me forever next to Beatrix Henrietta. Those all got vetoed, but June might be the next baby's middlr

The Spanish side of her family says "Ow-RRRAY-lee-uh" with the lots of rrrs being a cool trill that I can't do. lol. The anglo side says it "Uh-ray-lee-uh.
Basically like Amelia with an R instead of M.
Edit: and my dad says it "Uh-REE-lee-uh" because he's from Illinois and can't pronounce anything.

Girls
I really like Cadence, but I'll be honest I like the Kaydence spelling for it more. Not sure which I would go with. Middle name would be Marie which is ridiculously common, but my middle name is Marie and I think it flows with the name.
Autumn Eileen
Seren (though this may end up being used for a dog if I don't for a kid)
Boys
Raylan Thomas
Haven't really thought much more on boy names. Josh wanted Thomas after his uncle and we had thought of Thomas Brayden, but I love the name Raylan so much after obsessively watching Justified and I like the way Raylan Thomas rolls off the tongue.
Not sure if we will ever have kids though. I want kids, but I don't know if it's going to happen. Haven't prevented in years and i still haven't gotten pregnant.

Edward is a solid name. It means "Wealthy Protector".

Our list of girl names is very short. My favorite for a long time has been Camille Morgan. I think Cam is an adorable nickname and I see Camille as a strong, traditional name. Our last name is Smith so I really want less common first names. My middle name is Morgan so that's a given-our baby will be the third generation with that name. I also really love Hattie but my hubby isn't crazy about it.
Boy names we are really divided on. I have mentioned in the past that my husband wants to name our first born son Daniel Adam, after his two brothers that died in a fire before he was born. I understand COMPLETELY where he is coming from, but it's a bit morbid for me. And my uncle Dan, who I was really close to, passed away on Thanksgiving last year. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. Plus it's kind of common. Petty, I know.
My FAVORITE boy name of all time that he hates is Pierce. I want a Pierce so bad it isn't even funny.
