Are our final two a bit crap?

We've finally managed to narrow it down to two names for each sex, and I think we're going to wait to meet the baby before we choose the final name. However, I'm really worried that our final two are a bit crap! What do you think of them, are they useable and do you have a favourite? DS's are Otis and Monty.

Asha Genevieve
or
Romilly Abigail

Tor Zachary
or
Gray Isaac

Tor is not a name. Gray is not a name. If it was, Gray Issac sounds like a grumpy kids' cartoon character.

Genivieve is just silly in my opinion.

Abigail is nice.

I like Romilly but not sure it goes with Abigail. Think a shorter middle name would be better. Also think Isaac Gray sounds better than the other way round. Not keen on your other choices.

We have a Romilly, so in my unbiased opinion I like that best. DO was pushing for Genevieve and I didn't like it but I love it now. We also liked Seren and Aurelia.

I like the sound of your boy's names but wouldn't be brave enough to use either. They go well with your DS's names though.

I don't like any of them tbh.

I think Isaac is the nicest boys name of your options and Abigail the nicest girls name.

I know three Ashas and they're all boys.

I like Gray and Romilly best.

seren82 · 02/02/2012 22:07

Yes, I think that Isaac and Zachary are better as first names! Romilly is lovely too.

I love all of those names. All of them.

Oops, yes, that should have read DC's names are Otis and Monty

The boy names sound better switched with the middle names first. TBH, I think Tor and Gray are awful.

I'm not keen on Asha either.

I like Genevieve; not sure about the others.

Tor and Gray sound like nn for longer names? Are you going to use Victor or Graham?

beatofthedrum · 02/02/2012 21:51

I think you mean you already have 2 boys called Otis and Monty, no?

I think your first names are fab (love Romilly and Gray) but that the middle names complicate them too much and should be shorter/simpler.

Rhubarbgarden · 02/02/2012 21:50

Erm. I like Genevieve.

suebfg · 02/02/2012 21:46

Mmmm ...I don't think thee names go with each other but I individually quite like Otis and Genevieve.

Love Romilly and Otis.

Do not like Tor or Gray or Asha.

Your DS has good taste in names!
