Hi I'm pregnant with my first child & am really stuck with names. Opinions please Smile

These are my options so far, there seems to be more girls names I like than boys....

Boys

Joshua-Jak

Jaylen

Girls

Jolie-jae

Jolie-Marie

I thought you were joking. Sorry.

I like jolie, Joshua, jack and Lila on their own without a hyphen.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 01/11/2014 08:27

Joshua.

I quite like Lila.

Agree with the others, really not keen on the hyphens. Joshua and Amerie are ok.

Joshua
Amerie

Sorry don't like the hyphens here either.

Joshua

Amerie

I'm afraid I'm not keen on any of them, but best of the bunch: Jack, or Joshua, spelt correctly with no hyphens! Girl names not to my taste at all,although marie, Rae and lila are nicer than the other names/combinataions, but much better as stand alone first and second names, without hyphen! would you go for Renee instead of Rae? You seem to like French-sounding girls' names.

I prefer Joshua Jack (I wouldn't use the hyphen) as I think Jaylen sounds like it's missing the nerd (I possibly watch too much TBBT).

I don't like Jolie as part of a name (I wouldn't like Pretty either). I've never heard Amerie before, but think it's quite nice.

J names and hyphenated names aren't really popular on here so you might get some flack.

Out of your names I like Joshua, Jack (this spelling) and lila. I'd drop the hyphens in favour of solid names, but that's personal taste. I think the hyphen will really date the names too.
