For a girl:

Golda "Goldie" Celeste

(Or maybe Golda Celine?)

For a boy:

Selwyn John


Thoughts? Be as honest (mean) as you want.

i like Golda, but not Selwyn (reminds me of Selwyn Froggat) Solomon is nice though (and similar?)

Oh I should note that I have a speech impediment & can't really say Celeste lol but I think it looks nice. Big issue?

I love Selwyn for a boy. I'm not that keen on Golda

I can't say Sebastian with my speech impediment "ssssebashstun" Blush. I don't mind for a middle name but I think I'd struggle with a first name.

I'm not familiar with Golda. Selwyn is great.

I think they're both really, really awful.

Goldie is a name for a golden retriever or at a push a labrador. Or a shit rapper.

Selwyn John is great, and John Selwyn would also work.

I like Celeste and Celine. Not so keen on Golda. How about Gilda or Greta?

NuffSaidSam - I wish you hadn't mentioned the rapper... I had Goldie Hawn in my mind and now all I can think of is gold teeth

BarInSpace - I like John a lot but it's my dad/grandad/brothers/5 cousins names and it's getting a bit much

I dislike Gilda and Greta so I wonder why I'm so taken with Golda
