Our son has been here a week, but we still can't pick between these 2.

Which one do you prefer? Smile

We have a daughter named Harmony.

We know our liked names aren't to everyone's tastes, but oh well!

Both are a little too out there for me to use, but I do actually like both. I think Griffin is a little more manly, so that gets my vote.

Griffin. Once you get used to it (I know a teenage one) Griffin does actually sound like a normal enough name on a boy that other kids will get used to. Phoenix will set him up for a lifetime of difficulty. Griffin also goes better with Harmony.

Trying to be polite as you clearly don't want our opinions on the names themselves. We have very different tastes Grin

I already said that people might not like them, no need to say really, unless you have a preference (for future people who will comment!!!)

Thanks everyone Smile

Yes, I assume he'll be Griff

Aren't they both mythical creatures?
Neither for me I'm afraid.

Cluesue · 09/10/2016 14:30

Definitely Griffin

Madbengalmum · 09/10/2016 14:29

Sorry dislike both, but griffin is more bearable.
Think Phoenix is naff though.

PawWavingCat · 09/10/2016 14:27

Griffin for sure.

Couchpotato3 · 09/10/2016 14:26

Griffin (Griff for short?)

Griffin by a mile.

Congratulations on his safe arrival!
