Thoughts?

We don't know the sex, but girl will be Adelaide or Emmeline to give you an idea of our taste.

Mega long surname.

We are after something short, not in top 100. Suggestions welcome...

If others say "maybe not" it makes it all the more attractive to me! So, against the logic I just pronounced, go for it Grin

Ham69 · 14/07/2013 20:23

I love your girl's names.
Don't like Lyle. To me it's too much like Kyle and I immediately thought of Lyle and Scott [remembers with shame my dodgy school jumper in eighties]

soontobeslendergirl · 12/07/2013 23:58

I know a Lyall. I like it.

therumoursaretrue · 12/07/2013 01:50

I'm not a fan, I love your names for girls though - both were on my list when expecting DS.

Sunnysummer · 12/07/2013 01:27

Love Adelaide and Emmeline, but to me Lyle is a bit too much like Kyle, or Lyle Lovett. Lionel sounds like more of a quirky classic like your other names, perhaps?

Alisvolatpropiis · 11/07/2013 20:27

Lyle is awful imo.

I like Heath though.

squoosh · 10/07/2013 13:42

I bloody love the name Lyle.

AnythingNotEverything · 10/07/2013 13:42

I love it. Very underused.

valiumredhead · 10/07/2013 13:32

Lovely! Smile

Honoria Grin
No it's Lydia, see it quite a lot on these boards. Rhymes rather pleasingly with Chlamydia as many a teenage boy discovered in my youth!

Babs? Grin

PestoSwimissimos · 10/07/2013 10:36

Wait till he gets married,

Lyle going down the aisle....

NumTumDeDum · 10/07/2013 10:33

Is it Honoria? Grin

JacqueslePeacock · 10/07/2013 00:26

Aha! You're called Flamidia! Or is it Nyphilis?

You're right, vile is a bit strong, and I'd probably come round to it eventually with enough exposure to a lovely baby called Lyle. Still think Heath is a bit nicer though.

Vile is quite an extreme reaction. Lots of things rhyme, I have a very naice name, it still rhymes with an STI though Smile

Lyle is a great name! We know a very nice guy called Lyke though so that may have some bearing too

JacqueslePeacock · 09/07/2013 18:32

Sorry I think it's vile (and it rhymes with vile too, which can't be a good thing). Heath is a bit better in my opinion.

Leeds2 · 09/07/2013 18:30

I prefer Heath to Lyle, but would never use either if I'm honest.

whattooooodo · 09/07/2013 18:13

I know two Lyles, it's a lovely name

ZolaBuddleia · 09/07/2013 18:06

I like Heath! There's a v handsome hairdresser in Soho called Heath.

Would you think I was saying Lionel?

NumTumDeDum · 09/07/2013 17:07

Lyle sounds good to me. Is it a standard spelling. I can't get the spelling for aisle out of my head for some reason.

Kneedeepinshittynappies · 09/07/2013 17:05

Sorry, damn autocorrect, I know a lyle!

Kneedeepinshittynappies · 09/07/2013 17:05

Love it, I know a Luke who is 4 and a total sweetheart. He was named after sandy Luke iirc. Go for it, j usual enough but not out there in any way, perfect.

Ah thanks usual I suspect you may be right.
I can't get over Lyle though - I don't give a shit about the sugar thang. I think we might just do it.
