So now that DC1 is officially on the way AND that DH has come up with acceptable suggestions, I would love to hear your opinions on our list:

Ysolde (or Isolde or Essyllt but prefer the Y spelling because it is the same initial as my DM)
Anouk
Beryl (nn Berry?) - I read horrible reviews dating back to a few years ago, does MN still hate Beryl? Confused
Marielle
Adelaide (nn Ada?)
Willa

Gustave (nn Gus)
Alistair
Isaac
Piers
Maximilian (nn Max)
Yves
Gweltaz (how easy would it be for you to spell/pronounce?)

We are not in the UK - but may very well move back there soon. Potential mn are Ellen/Lena/Helena, Yvonne, Louis/Louise/Louisa, Martha, Eva, Ann/Anna, Allen/Alan, Morris, Robert, Alexander(a).

Help me pick a combination for both boy or girl as we will not be finding out before DC1 is here!

Thank you!

You can also go with Yseult, FYI.
Gweltaz reminds me a bit of Balonz. Grin
Like Adelaide. Beryl is fine nowadays, albeit a bit ahead of the curve maybe?

Ysolde Helena

Gustave Alexander

Very elegant names.

MsCoconut · 23/10/2014 00:22

Marielle Louise
and
Gustave Louis or Isaac Alexander

Gweltaz I would probably just call Taz tbh or another nn beginning with Taz.

Dickinsoon · 22/10/2014 23:25

Yseult Eva

Isaac Piers

Selks · 22/10/2014 23:21

Isolde Ellen, and Isaac Alexander, for me.

Didactylos · 22/10/2014 23:15

Anouk (like the little penguins)
or Gustave, but never shortened

oaktober12 · 22/10/2014 23:07

Anouk is great!

Anouk Helena

and

Alistair Robert
Maximilian Alexander

are my favourites. Would be stumped with Gweltaz I'm afraid.

Isolde Louisa
Maximilian Louis
Congratulations!

Artandco · 22/10/2014 22:54

Adalaide Yvonne or Willa Helena

And

Maximilian Alexander

or could add Louis so 'Maximilian Louis Alexander'
