Hardy, Emma or Mandela?

Sorry! Think most names go with Nelson, tbh, as long as they don't start or end with N.

Jack/Finlay/Matthew (just thinking of nice boys from ds's class!).

Charlotte, Grace, Tara, Olivia, Felicity... (ditto).

Had considered Matthew and Grace so will put them back on the list!! As for Horatio...not so keen so ... well you know what to do!
Yes DH and all his family's names end in N which doesn't sound right to me either!

Ariel Nelson for a girl.
Gino Nelson for a boy.

Actually I love aliterative names so wouldn't rule those out.

Actually I think Norma Nelson would be really cool. It has such a nice ring to it and yet is one of those names that is very uncommon without being too weird.

Norma Nelson will sound like Norman Nelson in everyday speech and get the poor child roundly teased.

Sorry, Spider...
