So our little boy or girl is due this coming week. Have narrowed our list to two girls names and two boys names. Would love to know which you would pick for a girl and a boy:

Elodie Maria
Evelyn Lyra
Benjamin Thomas
Oscar Nathaniel

Thank you!!

I'd wait and see which fits best when little one arrives!

Ooh nice! For a girl I definitely prefer Elodie Maria, that's lovely. Also no pronunciation difficulties (which you would have with Evelyn). For a boy I like Oscar very much.

I love Lyra, but I don't like that repeated ly in Evelyn Lyra.

I would go with Elodie Lyra (or Maria), and Oscar Nathaniel. I would pick Benjamin but I don't like Ben. If you do, go for it.

Evelyn or Benjamin.

I'd go for Evelyn Maria personally as it flows better than Evelyn Lyra.

Elodie (would be lovely with either Lyra or Maria, think Lyra might actually go better).

Oscar Nathaniel for a boy - love it!

But I like all your names, apart from Evelyn which is just not for me Grin

Don't like either of the girls names.

Elodie Maria and Benjamin Thomas are my choices. Also, I quite like the sound of Elodie Lyra.

Definitely Elodie and probably Oscar

Elodie or Benjamin

Quite like Oscar, but not so much Evelyn, sorry

Elodie or Benjamin, simply because there aren't many around! All nice names though!

Evelyn Lyra and Oscar Nathaniel. Lovely!

Not at all keen on Elodie or Benjamin for some reason...

Fwiw I know loads of little Benjamins. Just one Elodie. Oscar and Evelyn are popular though, so depends how much of a concern that is.

Evelyn Maria is lovely, and Benjamin Thomas.

Evelyn Maria. I don't like Elodie at all, and I don't really think Lyra goes well with Evelyn.

Either of the boys names are good, but I have a slight preference for Oscar.
