No significance to any names just the only ones we've agreed on so far.

Olivia and Benjamin.

wouldn't care for Eden or River as a first name. Otherwise all the combinations are very nice.

Eden and Isaac.

Eden Olivia Jane

I know it wasn't a choice but I find Kerry really dated

Benjamin Henry Isaac

I dislike Eden and River as not 'real' names.

I think Henry and Benjamin are too similar in their opening sounds to use both together. My mind wants to say "Benjamin Henjamin" or "Henry Benry" when I read them both together.

Olivia Jane Eden, at a push, I'm not a huge fan of the name Olivia but it's better than Kerry or Eden. Maybe Carrie instead of Kerry?

Henry Benjamin Isaac, Benjamin Henry River - like both of these, especially Benjamin. If you have to use River definitely keep it as a middle name although I think just Benjamin Henry Surname sounds better, it's a lovely name.

Eden and Benjamin

The only girls name I like is Olivia, as someone has said Kerry is massively 80's. Boys I like Benjamin, Henry seems so popular at the moment and River makes me think Jamie Oliver straight away

3 names is a mouth full and unnecessary
Kerry is mega 80s and I know about 8 thirty year old kerrys.
River is, well, a river.
Olivia is pretty.
Eden is pretty

Olivia and River

Olivia Jane Eden and Henry Benjamin Isaac.

I actually really like Benjamin Henry River too, but it sounds like the name of a river, like "the Benjamin Henry River, off Scott Avenue and Charlotte Street", if that makes sense?

Wishfulmakeupping · 26/10/2016 21:28

Henry for a boy by far the nicest of all the names.
I don't like any of your girl choices I'm afraid- if pushed if say Olivia is ok. Dislike the others a lot though sorry just not my cup of tea.

Shellybobbles82 · 26/10/2016 21:27

Eden Olivia
River Isaac

gunting · 26/10/2016 21:25

I think Olivia and Henry. I'm not a fan of the other names.
