Arlo, Ringo or Ely?!?! Or something else?

We have two girls called Mollie and Isla and have a boy due on Saturday but still can't decide on a name! We'd like something that is a bit different to the Archie, Stanley type names and are thinking of Arlo or possibly Ringo or Ely. Any other ideas? And does Arlo sound silly when we already have an Isla?! Thanks!

I liked Eli but picked Ezra instead, I think there are going to be a lot of Eli?s soon not that I think that?s a bad thing. Thank god you meant Eli and Ely because Ely is quite a rough place near Cardiff!

I have an Elye. Pronounced the same as Eli.

God, Ringo? that makes me itch tbh.

Eli or Arlo both good IMO, though Arlo has had a surge if that bothers you.

Inigo a very good call.

Glad it wasn't really Ely. Was imagining a set of sibs named after cathedrals ...

Leo?

Ivo is nice.

i like arlo.

what about ivo?

Ringo is the only one which compliments your other dc. Too many ls otherwise.

Quite like Ringo actually.

Inigo?

Arlo is my favourite and goes the best with the other names. Also like Asa but I don't think that it goes with Isla.

Congratulations Due Smile. Agree with Pointy, Eli is my favourite but not is Isla. So my next choice from your list is Arlo.

I meant Eli not Ely by the way!

Arlo's the best of the bunch. Very boho arty. But yes, too close to Isla for my liking.
