Have started thinking about names and throwing them around with DP (who doesn't seem to like any of the ones I do and vice versa) but in addition i'm struggling to find names I really like to go with DS's name (Kyle - and chosing that in itself was a struggle!). Surname is 2 syllables and begins with F (so sadly all F names are out!).

Although it's not a firm requirement i'd quite like something celtic. What are your thoughts on some of these names? Any suggestions most welcome! (sorry i've listed rather a lot!!)

Boys
Joel
Harris
Rory
Jake
Hamish
Eden
Jay
Lachlan
Magnus
Pascal
Zane

Girls
Melody
Cassie
Cerys (absolutely LOVE this name but really not sure, think it sounds too similar to DS's?)
Seren
Tegan
Saskia
Agnes
Astrid
Hannah
Niamh
Naomi
Esme
Iris
Skye
Harmony
Hope
Holly
Megan
Zadie
Nesta

Hamish and Iris.
I like the symmetry with Kyle and Iris.

Yay - I have a Cerys and love the name. If you don't mind the alliteration, and I don't, go for it!

For a boy I like Harris

Thanks scarletts it's so difficult! I get people telling me my son's name is 'a naughty boy's name' (!) but I guess some people will always want to voice their opinion!

I like Rory, Hamish, Seren, Esme and Naomi best. I had a baby girl six weeks ago and they were all on my shortlist.
