which boy's names do you think go well with Isabelle (our DD)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My first thought was George

pipoca · 27/02/2012 15:18

our DD is Isabel and her brother is Nicolas. We also liked Alexander and James.

Copyallwrite it 'has' to look right on a christmas card, birthday card, invitation etc

And at school they will be 'linked'

Silly!

James sprang to mind.

Isabelle and Arthur

Yes would go with another vowel-starting name - think Isabel and Alexander/Adrian/Adam, Isabel and Oliver/Oscar, Isabel and Edward/Edmund - that type of thing.....

diddl · 26/02/2012 13:30

OP-Leo is fantastic.

OK, to throw a spanner in the works...why does it matter actually. Your daughter will not ,name-wise, be attached to your son in any way - apart from being his sibling.

She will eventually, and in all likelihood, meet a partner and either keeper her own name, or take her partner's one.

Why does it matter what her sibling's name is >???

I love names...!

I had daughters, but, if I'd had a son, some of the (more unusual) names on my list were:

Louis
Toby/Tobias
Jacob/Jake
Joel
Jared
Jed
Benedict
Oliver
Elias
Sebastian
Nathaniel
Fabian...am I getting too flouncy now?

(I have many more, but so does a baby names book!)

David. But then I would say that! :)

EdithWeston · 25/02/2012 15:05

I always think of Ferdinand with Isabel because of the monarchs of Castile and Aragon. I think it usually gets a luke-warm MN response because of the footballer (but that will pass!)

How do you all feel about Leo? Boy's names are SO hard!
