Lovely, or OTT? I love, but DH wants Emma and Thomas.

Autumn and Tomlin?

MidnightMasquerader · 06/02/2013 08:11

Yes. Ditching Phoenix, is absolutely the way to go.

Orla and Rafe is fab. I love Rafe. Such a dashing name. Orla is beautiful, too. Quite current, admittedly... but beautiful.

ENormaSnob · 06/02/2013 07:32

I think Phoenix is as far from pretentious as you can get tbh!

I don't like any of them tbh.

Vijac · 05/02/2013 23:32

Or Phelan?

Vijac · 05/02/2013 23:32

I like Autumn and Emma a lot, Thomas is quite nice if a bit plain, don't really like Phoenix (bit pretentious) and really dislike Tate. Also like suggestions, Orla, Rafe and Felix. Have you considered Zander?

ceeveebee · 05/02/2013 23:31

Oh actually could be confusing as autumn might sound like 'oi Tom!'

ceeveebee · 05/02/2013 23:30

Why not autumn and Thomas?

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 05/02/2013 23:26

Autum is lovely.

BehindLockNumberNine · 05/02/2013 23:22

Loving Spencer Thomas. Right, that is the boy sorted.
Now just the girl to name...

PickledInAPearTree · 05/02/2013 23:09

Like playings suggestions!

NowPlayingZone · 05/02/2013 23:08

Autumn is lovely. Would also sound nice wit Emma as mn.

Think Spencer Is better as a first name, but SpencerTate sounds like a law firm or accountants or something. Spencer Thomas would be better. Glad you binned Pheonix.

BehindLockNumberNine · 05/02/2013 23:07

Orla and Rafe?

BehindLockNumberNine · 05/02/2013 23:07

Kate and Tate?? (because that may be what they become....?

Not keen on Tate at all.

Love Rafe though, unusual but not too odd?

mrstowers · 05/02/2013 22:46

Oh no Tate is worse than Phoenix!

Bluestocking · 05/02/2013 22:42

Sorry, Autumn and Phoenix are awful separately, and together are just unspeakable. Emma and Thomas are lovely names.

Thanks all! Yes, Autumn for Dd and Phoenix for DS. We are getting closer. I've been a bit put off Phoenix after all the celebby comments. We have nearly agreed on Autumn Kate and Tate Spencer. Smile?

What about Orla and Felix?

Somewhere in the middle between your taste and his.

BehindLockNumberNine · 05/02/2013 22:32

Love Autumn, not Phoenix.

Like Emma and Thomas but then I am not adventurous with names.

forgetmenots · 05/02/2013 22:29

Like Autumn and Thomas. Don't like Emma and Phoenix.

PickledInAPearTree · 05/02/2013 22:08

I would lean towards your DH taste a bit more. Is there a middle ground for you?

Phoenix I don't like - its too "celebrity" for me.

Leeds2 · 05/02/2013 22:06

I prefer Emma and Thomas. Maybe Autumn. Not Phoenix.

MyThumbsHaveGoneWeird · 05/02/2013 21:51

You and DH need to meet in the middle somewhere! Grin
Iris and Aubrey?

mumofthemonsters808 · 05/02/2013 21:47

Oh I really like these names, they also go well together.I'm a lover of modern, funky names so Emma and Thomas do not float my boat.

heidihole · 05/02/2013 21:37

I can't tell the gender if the children from those names!

Porkster · 05/02/2013 21:37

I think they're both horrid, sorry.

Emma & Thomas are a bit meh.
