Honest opinions please!!

Iora, so do you also link the names Andreas to the puppies/dogs? Probs not, but this has more of the same and sounds more similar than Rex does.

Not sure how imagining a beautiful puppy is such a bad link to a boys name anyway?!

OP- I also adore Rex and like Anna best from your girls list.

Verity or Elliot.

Totally agree jemimastar very well put

Anna and Jude my faves, really can't go wrong with these gorgeous names.

Good luck zippyswife and go with your heart.

I'm not seeing how Indigo could be confused for Iago. And I know about the Shakespeare play.

Aside from anything else, I would guess that Indigo is a more popular name than Iago.

Jemima, the company name is Andrex!! Hence me mentally linking it to Rex. It is one of the things that comes straight to mind when I hear that name.

IoraRua come again? the Andrex puppy is not called Rex & I've just done a quick google search?! OP go for it!

Iago in Othello, the schemer, the villain. Also a Disney character and a footballer.

I really dislike Indigo and it's connotations about the so called Indigo child.
I like the other girl choices.

Finding it hard to say about the boys' names with knowing the type of surname you have.

I'd probably go for Kit or Rex with a middle name that flowed well and didn't give embarrassing initials.

Personally I hate this trend for choosing a child's nickname before birth, unless you mean a short form? Nicknames should evolve according to the child's personality and be unique to that person once they develop a bit of personality.

folk are gonna think Indigo is really Iago and a boy.

I don't agree with this-I'm sure people will recognise indigo as a name. It isn't at all to my taste but I don't think you'll have to worry about people thinking it supposed to be something else.

I know a cute girl called India (white british, she still carries it off).

Considering Andrex had that famous puppy it's hardly unsurprising that Rex still = dog to many people, is it?
I never meet dogs called Lucky anymore, I still think of it as a dog name (and yes, I know people who would call a child Lucky).

Another vote here for Anna- girls

Then in order of preference, boys-

Rex
Kit
Jude

100% agree jem + OP found an old MN thread with more cool, open minded peoples opinions, see loads of people love Rex!

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/1449169-Rex?pg=3

LOVE Anna + Jude and Rex from the boys.

People who say Rex = dog. How dull. Honestly, when was the last time you really, truly heard of a dog called Rex, really?? I never have. I do know the most adorable, energetic, handsome little 3 year old called Rex and he never stops getting compliments about his name. I also know a dashing 35 year old lawyer, Jude.

Rex and Jude could both be writers, doctors, actors or artists, can totally imagine a gorgeous little boy called these names or a grown man, dare to be slightly different OP and those slating your names will probs only like the Thomas's/ Jack's of the world, do you seriously want to consider their very play it safe, boring tastes?! Got for it, both are lovely.

Another no vote for Indigo but all the other girls are really nice. Verity is my favourite.

I'm not particularly keen on any of the boys (I don't like Kester either sorry). Christopher is my favourite but I don't like Kit!

My favourites are Indigo and Elliott - I like Grace/Paige and James/Blake (for middle names) x

If you go for Anna Indigo you'll find people put the loathed (for me) invisible R in so it'll be AnnaRindigo

Forgot to say... every guy I now called Kit is actually Christopher

Indigo sounds like the name of a crappy bar/nightclub in a crappy town. Verity is ok, I like Anna and Elizabeth.

Oran- that's not a name (Odhran is if you want to spell it the proper Gaelic way) and for what it's worth my phone just autocorrected it to Iran twice

Kester- never heard that before, made me think of kestrel birds.

I'm sorry I love Indigo and I'm not too keen on the boys names you've gotta find something else just as fab as Indigo!!!!!! That name rocks ????????!!!!!

Love Oran, not keen on the girl choices.

Love Elliott but I might be a bit bias

love indigo- the rest are boring sorry.but indy is fab.

elliot or jude fir boys

Verity - this is a bit twee to me. Not helped by the fact that my cousin is called Verity and I really don't like her.
Elizabeth - nice but whispers a bit dull? I prefer Eliza which is gorgeous or Bethany (but I'm biased)
Anna - gorgeous! my favourite of your girls names.
Indigo (still my favourite but is it even a name?! And is it too pretentious?!!) - I guess it's OK but I prefer India.

Boys;
Kit - love this as a nn for Christopher but not sure about it as a name in its own right
Heath - just reminds me of Ledger and his tragic end
Oran - I like it!
Rex - a dog
Jude - LOVE.
Ralph (pronounced rafe.. In theory) - this is pretentious
Elliott - I like this.

Anna & Jude are my favourites!
