Found 'the one' - and it's not Beauden [grin]

Hi everyone,

Well, after a few days of constant name games, me and dh are sorted. Thanks to everyone's help we have decided not to go with Beauden after the BAD reaction on here. Or Indigo or Lyric or Soren. Lots of you still will hate our choices but I think you know when you have decided because you don't care less anymore what others think (in a nice way).

Soooo. our final choices are:

Girl: Sonnet Melody
Boy: Winter Beau Alexander.

See, I still have my Beau in there Grin.

I think these fit in really well with our other dc. The only big problem is that we have an Autumn so it may well sound contrived. But they aren't going to be joined at the hip and will have their own identities.

One last favour!!!

Can anyone suggest a nice third name to go with Sonnet Melody? (Our other three have all got two middle names so I want to do the same).

Was thinking perhaps:

Sonnet Melody Grace
Sonnet Melody Eve
Sonnet Melody Erin

Want a classic name she can fall back on if she hates her other two names.

Anyway, thank you for all your help. I think I can almost leave these boards in peace now Grin

I agree that Winter sounds like a girl's name. I wouldn't use anything that can be shortened to Winnie for a boy.

I know a boy named Flint; do you like that?

I like Beau Alexander.

I know an Autumn and I went to school with a Melody so they don't sound odd to me.

The only thing I have against Sonnet is the T would not be pronounced. I hear so many Ka'ie and Na'alie names with the t not pronounced, that I would not use a name with a t in it for that reason. But that's just me.

Poor kids...

Aitch · 02/10/2010 23:43

these women speak the truth, you know... the names just scream 'bully me, please'.

LynetteScavo · 02/10/2010 23:41

Why do you need three names? Just have confidence in the first two.

LetThereBeRock · 02/10/2010 23:38

And it's not you who has to care what others think,it's the poor child.

There's nothing wrong with unusual names, so long as they don't verge on the ridiculous. But you've crossed that line.

Why not Beau as a first name?

MrToad · 02/10/2010 23:38

Agree that Winter is a girl's name!

And methinks that little Sonnet will be using that "sensible" third name once she realises what a daft name she has.

Sorry to be so abrupt but your name choices are truely bonkers!

LetThereBeRock · 02/10/2010 23:35

Winter? Why don't you just name the poor boy Kick Me? It's even worse when you already have a child with a seasonal name.

Winter is bloody ridiculous. Soren was nice,and sane.

I hope the pregnancy hormone induced daze wears off soon.

Sonnet Melody Tune
Sonnet Melody Ode
Sonnet Melody Harmony
Sonnet Melody Verse

I dunno - there's loads.

I have really enjoyed your threads and actually quite liked your unusual choice of names.
However:
Please not Winter. Imagine when you introduce two of your children as seasons! You have another one called something else, don't you? They'll wonder if you just didn't like the other seasons!
Also he will be called Winnie.
Also, Winter seems like a girl's name.
Also Winter Beau Alexander does not flow well, to me.

I like all your middle names for the girl's name though. Erin probably my favourite.

catinthehat2 · 02/10/2010 23:30

You are completely bonkers.

And I [heart] you Grin

Classic 'E' girl's name? Well Elizabeth is getting rave reviews at the moment...

Aitch · 02/10/2010 23:18

blimmin' heck.

Grin We are ok - it starts with an 'f'.

SoMuchToBits · 02/10/2010 23:17

Have to say I prefer Melody to Sonnet. How about Anne as a (classic) middle name?

What are your other dcs called btw? It would be good to have names which go together well.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/10/2010 23:16

Can I suggest you leave the Eve/Erin middle name alone if your surname starts with G?
