We are early on in pregnancy, so still thinking about names. Any opinion/favourites on the following? In rough order of my preference.

For a DD
Abigail
Meredith
Rosaline
Serenity

For a DS
James
Alexander
Isaac (DH not keen)
Theo

They are all nice, would steer away from serenity though, when she is having a temper tantrum the irony will be too much to bear.

I would avoid Rosaline due to pronunciation issues ("leen" vs "line"?). My pick from your lists would be Abigail and James.

Any of them, apart from Serenity. It makes me think of American beauty pageant contestants,

Abigail and James for me. Though I am not keen on most of the diminutive forms of James

Abigail/Meredith and James/Alexander are joint favourites with me at the moment. We'll just have to see what DC looks like when they arrive. Middle names will probably be a family name.

I don't like any of your girl's name so suggest Seren rather than Serenity.

James is the nicest boy's name followed by Alexander, then Theo but don't like Isaac.

I like Rosa but not so keen on Rosaline.

Alex for a boy is cool; like James but would hate the nn Jim!

Really like Meredith. Hate Serenity.

James is my favourite for a boy, followed by Isaac.

Love James, just as well because I have one!

Rosaline would be my favourite of your girls names but I prefer the Rosalyn spelling

Meredith (lovely name) and Isaac or Alexander. Strongly dislike Serenity.
