I think Zeb is quite funky (sounds a bit like Seb but otherwise all right), so Zebedee is acceptable as long as you never call him his full name!

Zephyr and Zeno don't sound like names, sorry. Names at the end of the alphabet are not said to be a good thing BTW (always at the end of the queue).

Iona is a lovely name, I know two very nice ones, tho both have a Scottish connection so I might assume that (doens't matter tho, that's just my stuff).

I like Iona Catherine and Ines Catherine

I also prefer Zephyr James to Zephyr Andrew

MelinaM · 21/09/2011 23:56

Ines Catherine is lovelySmile

Love Zephyr, but not with Andrew. How about Zephyr James or Edward as suggested above? ...Alexander would be rather fab too!

I like Ines or Iona for a girl but not really sure about your boys names. Especially Zebedee - have you watched The Magic Roundabout?

Catsycat · 21/09/2011 22:51

How about Zeno James? I have a DD called Zena, so admit a slight bias! Iona Mary is the girls name I like best from your list.

Rhubarbgarden · 21/09/2011 22:39

I don't like Ida but your other girls names are all beautiful. Your boys names are not my cup of tea, sorry.

Zebedee Andrew for a boy.

James seems to be quite a "default" middle name on MN at the moment - it goes with anything but that makes it a bit of a too-obvious choice.

Iona Mary for a girl.

Ida too old-ladyish, Ines trying too hard to be different/exotic, Mary more refreshing than Catherine.

My opinion...

Zephyr Andrew (I really dislike the name Andrew, though. Edward instead?)

Iona Mary or Catherine - both lovely. If we have a dd this time, her middle name will be Mary or Kathryn (just because that's how my mum's name is spelt).
