Hi all :) only 18 weeks but for some reason names are really bothering me especially since DH and I are struggling to agree . Boy middle name will be David and girl middle name will be Johanna . Let me know what you thank :)

Boys

Jacob
Max
Evan
Jonah

Girls

Charlotte (possible nn Callie)
Georgia (nn Georgie)
Violet

These are all we have and at that I am not completely in love with any of them like I was (am) with dc1 name . she is Phoebe .

TIA :)

run I like Imogen too but h has just completely vetoed it . Because of the Ryan giggs thing . That doesnt bother me .

I think I need more unusual boys names tho . Like Xavier or something Grin Althought I don't think I'll get away with that in the west of Scotland Hmm

Jacob and Charlotte.

Jacob is my favourite of your boys names. I only know of one other but you shouldn't let popularity put you off if you like it.

Charlotte is lovely and doesn't need shortening or having a nn IMO. How about Clara as an alternative - that goes quite nicely with Phoebe.

I wouldn't worry about how the names sound with your chosen middle names, as middle names hardly ever get used.

Runoutofideas · 03/06/2012 09:20

I have dds with 2 of your girls names, so am a bit biased and think they're lovely. Names we also liked included :

Imogen
Amelia

Alexander/dra
Jacob
William

BTW - I was insistent that my Charlotte would be Lottie but she is in fact often Charlie as it suits her cheeky, tomboy nature better! I also have a friend with Phoebe/Georgia siblings and they seem to go nicely together.

Violet Johanna is lovely!

monkeymoma · 02/06/2012 19:27

I know Remus I hate it it's an old mans name Grin

monkeymoma · 02/06/2012 19:20

agree that Callie doesn't seem like a NN for Charlotte

monkeymoma · 02/06/2012 19:19

Jacob - lovely
Max - don't like
Evan - lovely
Jonah - lovely

Girls

Charlotte (possible nn Callie) - lovely
Georgia (nn Georgie) - lovely, prefer Georgina but Georgia is lovely too
Violet - very very nowish, not keen

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/06/2012 19:16

Sorry but Clark is terrible.

Thanks for all the input MNersSmile

We have thrown a few more into the mix . I've decided I now like Willow . DH loves Clark . Any thoughts on these ?

Good list - though some of your names are a bit popular for my taste. I like Evan, Jonah and Violet.

shoobidoo · 01/06/2012 10:45

Love, love Johanna (pronounced Yo-hanna)! I'd choose that as first name. Otherwise Charlotte is nice too.

I don't really like any of your boys' names, I'm afraid.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/05/2012 19:58

Like Jacob and Max. Dislike Evan and Jonah. Like David.

Like Charlotte but Callie seems a strange nn for it. Like Violet. Hate Georgia but love Georgiana. However, both sound weird with Johanna. Charlotte Johanna works best imho.

missingmymarbles · 31/05/2012 19:00

Jacob David, Evan David and Jonah David all sound good together; I think Jonah David is the nicest. I'm not keen on Max David.

I have a cousin who is Charlotte Joanna Smile I like Charlotte Johanna the best from your girls list. I think it has a pretty ring to it. I like Georgia, but think it sounds like a lot of alliteration with Johanna (that said our DD2's initials are going to be SFF when she arrivesSmile). I'm not keen on Violet so wouldn't really consider it.

Thanks lannie

Yeah Johanna has a special family connection so it will definitely be MN regardless of first name . But I think it is a bit of a mouthful !

Lannie33 · 31/05/2012 16:58

Love all your names. Would not use Jacob because of personal phobia of popular names...but maybe Jake.

For girls, all beautiful names. I especially love Callie.
I agree with whoever said Georgia Johanna sounds not the most ideal, but IMO still an OK combination. If you're toally set on Johanna for middle, I'd be partial to Charlotte/"Callie" or Violet.

Yeah I like jonas too go but the jonas brothers really put me off it !!

Oooh juliette will need to mention that one to DH Smile

OP posts:
SugarBatty · 31/05/2012 13:47

Max and violet

GoPoldark · 31/05/2012 13:43

Names possibly a bit like Evan:

Dylan

Ifan (ee-van)

Jonas as an alternative to Jonah?

Names which for no good reason I would think someone who loved Phoebe would like:

Juliette

Melissa

Tamar

Carys

Linnet

othersideofchannel · 31/05/2012 13:38

I love Charlotte and Violet!

Not that keen on your boys' names - very popular already - but I'd choose Evan if I had to pick one.

suburbandream · 31/05/2012 13:37

Boys

Jacob - quite a lot of them about
Max - ditto
Evan - love it, wish we'd used it for DS2 Smile
Jonah - not overly keen

Girls

Charlotte (possible nn Callie) - never liked it but that's probably just me!
Georgia (nn Georgie) - love it
Violet - love it, although people might think of Violet Beauregard or Violet Elizabeth (if they are as old as me Wink)
