I like Merryn or Vita for a girl, and Rufus for a boy. Love Atticus too, but it does seem a bit different in style from Arlo and Skye and might sound unwieldy with your surname.

I like Mabel and Vita for a girl, and Jude for a boy.

I love Otis and Etta.

Hate Mabel and Rufus.

Elquota · 09/06/2013 15:49

Mabel Vita or Rufus Jude.

OrangeJuiceSandwich · 09/06/2013 15:09

Romy or Jude for me.

I'd like the idea of all 3 having 4 letter names, and not sharing an initial.

pygmy · 09/06/2013 15:09

My girl name was Greta Mabel, which is heavenly!

My boy list is Hector, Edgar, Otto and Magnus. Any of these take ya fancy?

I love Atticus,but we worry its too long with a double barreled surname...also the other two DC have two MN,an Atticus would have only one,short mn,do you think this would ever be a problem between them? Or would Atticus itself just sound too long next to Skye and Arlo?!

Also love Jude and Rufus but they are really quite popular already,and on the rise,I don't want a top 100 name...

If we don't use Mabel as a first name,I think I'd like to use it as a mn (it was my nans mn,we haven't used any family names for the other two though,so perhaps we shouldn't start now...
