Expecting Quads!!

Sorry, quite forgot the matter in hand!

Girls
Anarchy "Ana" "Annie" Jessica Ellen- not keen, sorry
Avia - I like!
Cara - rather dull, sorry
Emilia Valentina - love Valentina but Amelia and its variants are everywhere.
January "Jani" Nicolette - like January, Nicolette is too porn star
Josslyn - to horsey
Joy-Anna - don't like hypens
Kendall Kate - too American surnamey
Madison "Maddie" - not to my taste
Nova - love it
Rebel - stop your nonsense
Sophia - too popular
Tyler/Tylar - nope, too Hayden/Jayden/Kai
Vienna - porn star
Xanthe - lovely

Boys
Chai - only if it's Che
Daxton -like!
Felix -like!
Gage - sounds like a gauge
Jonah -like!
Jedediah - isn't it Jebediah? Like it if so.
Jeremiah - like!
Kennedy - nope, American surnamey
Palmer - as above, makes me think of wanking
Phoenix - a bit Mel B
Wyatt Jett Everett - love Wyatt, hate Jett
Xavier - fab
Zac - too popular

How exciting! When are you due?

Frankly, with quads on the way, you're asking for trouble with Anarchy. There'll be plenty of that anyway .

My favourites from your list:
Xanthe
Cara
Jonah
Phoenix.

Or you could try Calm, Peace, Co-operation and Quiet.

Big congratulations, too, what an adventure

My faves, for what it's woth:
Cara (means "dear" or "loved")
Xavier
Ava (not Avia - although Avia means bird in latin, it's not a bad name)
Felix (means "happy")
Nova (means "new")
Phoenix

Would you also consider
Alba (means "white")
Alina (means "soother") pronounced Aleena
Anya - a good suggestion from a pp
Carter - a good suggestion from a pp
Indah (for a girl)

Good luck with everything!!!

Girls
Anarchy "Ana" "Annie" Jessica Ellen - No! Is this even a name? Ana, Annie, Jessica, Ellen - all good. Anarchy - just mean!
Avia - pretty sounding. Never heard it before
Cara - like it
Emilia Valentina - quite like it
January "Jani" Nicolette - like it. Prefer Nicole or Nicola now that Nicorette is such a well known brand name.
Josslyn - not keen. Jocelyn is better for some reason
Joy-Anna - not keen. Prefer Anna-Joy.
Kendall Kate - Love Kendall. Not sure you can use 2 Ks with a hard C surname - she'll be KKK!
Madison "Maddie" - love it
Nova - like it
Rebel - no, for the same reasons as Anarchy
Sophia - really like it
Tyler/Tylar - ok for a boy, don't like it for a girl. I like Taylor
Vienna - like it
Xanthe - love it. I have a 6 month old Xanthe. Never met another.

Boys
Chai - don't like it. It's a tea. Quite like Kai.
Daxton - not keen
Felix - love it
Gage - never heard of it. Not a pleasant sound
Jonah - like it
Jedediah - don't like it
Jeremiah - it's ok
Kennedy - love it for a girl. Not sure about a boy.
Palmer - never heard of it as a name but it works.
Phoenix - quite like it
Wyatt Jett Everett - not keen
Xavier - love it. But I'd have to choose between Xavier and Xanthe, I wouldn't use both.
Zac - really like it.

My top 8 (for all eventualities of gender!) would be:
Madison, Kendall, Xanthe, Vienna
Felix, Jonah, Xavier, Phoenix

Why on earth would you consider calling a child Anarchy? Rebel is just as bad. From the boys list, I would consign Daxton, Gage and Chai to the no pile. The others, whilst not to my taste, are far better.

There are plenty of lovely but less common names to choose from and some are on your lists. You are not naming a dog.

YY to all the comments re: Anarchy and Rebel. How the heck does someone put one of those on a job application in the future? Also, although I like Tyler, I thought it was a boy's name? I think Joy-anna would spend her life correcting people that it's not Joanna. All the others are nice, though I probably wouldn't use Nova together with some of the more "usual" names.

Like most of your boys list except Daxton - it sounds made up. I also wouldn't use Jedediah and Jeremiah both together. Do you want Kennedy shortened to Ken? Because it will probably happen, so something to consider.

Congratulations! My favourites are Vienna and Kennedy. The only
Kennedy I know irl is a boy but it could be used for either girl or boy.

I also like some of the more popular names on your list (Emilia, Sophia, Zac, Jonah)

I'm not sure you can get away with Kendal Kate with your surname. It's too much alliteration up until the end when I want to keep alliterating!

Lots of beautiful names but agree with others Anarchy is not one to start school with! The teacher would be bracing themselves.

5 or 6!!

lol at Danger . High voltage!

Congratulations. How wonderful.

I've got 5 or 5 I like from your lists, for each, which is quite amazing as I am quite fussy! So your lists are great. Hope you do not mind me commenting in detail, am avoiding my bed as not tired yet!

Girls

LOVE these:

1. Cara - fabulous

2. Josslyn - like it

3. Joy-Anna - prefer just Joy by itself, it is a beautiful name

4. Tyler, LOVE IT, don't like the other spelling 'Tylar' too unusual (see below re spelling!)

5. Kendall - quite like it but by itself not with Kate

6. Xanthe - I do quite like this one

Sophia - is very pretty but there are a lot of them about

Not at all keen on:
Anarchy - really don't like this one, very negative connotations and "Ana" your child will be constantly needing to say "No, Ana with one 'n'." (IMHO as a mum to a child whose name is always getting questioned on how to spell it and I never guessed it would be!
Avia - I'd prefer Ava but you may find there is more than one of them!
January "Jani" Nicolette - makes me think of Nicorette
Rebel - sorry it makes me think of that old perfume advert

Boys

LOVE these:

1. Felix - just love it

2. Jonah - love it even more

3. Jedediah - it's cool but makes me think of The Tomorrow People (maybe that is just me)

4. Jeremiah - cool

5. Zac - nice one

Not at all keen on:
Chai - like the tea? Don't like it or the sound.
Wyatt Jett Everett - personally no

Must add my favourites at moment are Ruby, Cassie, Marigold, Jonah and Joshua.

lame!

Oh, DEFINITELY add Maverick to the boys' list. I actually like that one.

But don't couple it with a kids called Danger because that's lamed.

Sorry, I think you should cross Anarchy and Rebel of your list straight away. That's like calling someone Hades or Judas - you might like the names but you're asking for a heck lot of association issues, and if they turn out to be poorly behaved, people will say you brought it on yourself (superstitiousness goes a long way).

Girls:
Instead of Anarchy, how about Annalina, Anya, Anelle, Anais (ah-nay-iss), Anastasia, Annabeth? Jessica Ellen are lovely mns.

Instead of Rebel, how about Arabelle, Arabella?

Avia, Cara, January, Joy-Anna (someone suggested Anna-Joy, which is nice too), Kendall, Nova, Tyla, Vienna and Xanthe are all nice. Jocelyn is nice, but I don't like Josslyn.

Emilia, Madison and Sophia are really nice too, but they are quite popular.
Emilia Valentina

Favourites are January, Joy-Anna and Xanthe.

Boys:
Chai - as in chai tea? Nice, but tea is the first thing I think of.
Daxton - not keen on surname sounding names.
Felix - nice, but popular
Gage - don't like at all. Sounds like 'cage' and 'let's see how nice I gauge this boy to be'.
Jonah - nice. Bit biblical for me personally
Jedediah - as above, but strangely, nicer
Jeremiah - as above, but strangely, even nicer :P
Kennedy - don't like. Surname. Also seen it more often on girls.
Palmer - don't like at all.
Phoenix - don't like
Wyatt Jett Everett - all acceptable.
Xavier - nice
Zac - nice. Prefer Zachariah. Or Zack, if you wanna keep it short.

Favourites are Felix, Jonah, Jedediah, Jeremiah and Zack.

I'm wondering how you could ever discipline a child called 'Anarchy'?

Quads? That's amazing! Did you have fertility treatment? You must be thrilled.

I agree that Anarchy isn't a great name, or Rebel, because of the expectations attendant on it (what if the child just wants to keep a low profile? It's quite a name to live up to...), but the others on your list are nice.

You can ignore me though- in which case, please add Maverick to your boys list

@ Tylastar: Phew! You're right it is much nicer without the r :)

Janeoflanternhill the OP is suggesting calling a potential daughter, Anarchy. Somehow, I don't think Linnet will be too out there for her....

To go with Carter-Hunt?

I'm pretty sure that Anarchy or Rebel would live to regret your choice but any of the others are fine.

Are you actually anarchists? Great if you are, but would be odd to use the name if not... and what if baby herself grows up to be a Tory? Although then I suppose her name would be the least of your worries...
