Joseph Alexander would be my favourite combination for boys and Meredith Eloise or Elizabeth Sophia for girls

(I've tinkered with the combinations Grin)

JasperDamerel · 01/06/2015 09:08

Sebastian/Alexander/Alistair are all nice for a boy.

Beatrice Sophia for a girl. It's much nicer than any of the others.

TempsPerdu · 01/06/2015 08:58

My shortlist for the boys would be:
Alexander James
Henry Peter
Alistair James

Definite favourite for the girls is Imogen Kate. Eloise goes well with Naomi too, but don't like it with Isabelle (too many vowel sounds I think). (Naomi Rose is lovely by the way).

Thank you all so much. Keep the votes coming, it's been really helpful. Think we might discount Alfie on the basis of it being rather popular and it may become dated, as you say. DC1 is Naomi Rose, if that helps...

I have to be awkward! These are my favourite combos though

Sophronia · 31/05/2015 22:58

Tristan Alexander or Alistair James (prefer Alastair spelling though)

Beatrice Sophia or Sophia Meredith

Benchmark · 31/05/2015 22:42

Boys - I like Henry best. Harry is too popular. I quite like Alexander but I prefer the female version and Sebastian is also nice.
girls - I only like Madeleine and Eloise. Olivia and Sophia are too overused.
I really wouldn't go with Lauren it's very dated and not in a good way imo.
Charlotte is beautiful too.

Allthatnonsense · 31/05/2015 22:38

Madeleine Charlotte

Tristan Alexander

tessandjude · 31/05/2015 22:29

Oliver James is a weird famous psychiatrist. We would have used those names together but he put us off. Just a thought.

Tristan Alexander
Beatrice Sophia

Iwasbornin1993 · 31/05/2015 22:02

Oliver James and Lauren ElizabethSmile

ancientbuchanan · 31/05/2015 21:58

Don't like Alfie, will date. Use Alfred instead if you must. Ditto Lauren. Nit dead keen on Belle but ok.

Rest are lovely.

LaceyLee · 31/05/2015 21:53
