Final names, what do you think?

Think we've narrowed our list down to a favourite boy name and a favourite girl name for our baby due in September. Thought I'd canvas opinions in case I've missed any unfortunate connections or nickname potential!

Elizabeth Clare
Ross Alexander

surname is two syllable and starts with S. I think they are fairy safe and middle of the road but would prefer it if they fell on the nice/pretty side rather then totally dull!

Thanks for looking, looking forward to seeing what you think.

I had to be won round by Elizabeth due to really not liking Liz or Lizzy for a baby, think we would use Libby as a nn or stick with full name. Alternatively I might win round with Alice instead! Still some time to go.

Clare and alexander are family names so pretty sure we'll stick with those as they mean something to us.

Absolutely lovely names

I can't stand Ross Alexander as that is XHs name. Apart from that it is actually quite nice.

I like Elizabeth Clare though.

I really like Ross, Alexander (as a MN) and Clare. Elizabeth falls on the dull list for me I'm afraid - although most MNer's would probably disagree. I think it's because I don't like any of the nicknames/shortened versions of Elizabeth - do you have a NN in mind or would you stick with the full name?

You can be as honest as you like! Everyone has different tastes and it's good to see others point of view.

Love Elizabeth Claire.
Like Ross a lot (most people on here don't though!); less fond of Alexander but they sound fine together.

Lovely! I especially like Ross- very good name but you don't hear it much now-definitely due a comeback!
