Hi everyone
I posted a couple of weeks ago as we were really struggling for a boys name for DC2.

We already have a little boy whos name is Torin Matthew, his new little brother or sister will be

Fern Allison
Niven Alexander

What do you think?

Don't like Niven, Alexander Niven would be much better IMO

Fern is lovely

Niven as in David Niven?

I like Fern, but I prefer the more traditional spelling of Alison.

I'm not keen on Niven, though I suppose it goes with Torin as a "sib set". Are they characters from GoT?

Fern is lovely. I am so sorry but I think Niven is dreadful.

I really don't like Niven either. Looks like misspelled Nivea. Alexander is much nicer.

I prefer Alexander Niven. And I feel like it goes better with Torin.
Fern is nice

I like Niven. A Scottish Saint, according to google. Very nice, OP.

Report
SirChenjin · 07/07/2016 08:24

Google also says it's the anglicised spelling of the Irish Naomhan Grin
