So I've been dead set for what seems like forever that for a girl I like Lyra and for a boy, Rudy. However, have now confused the living daylights out of myself and OH by throwing a few more we both like into the mix... Which do you guys think goes well with a McK surname? (I love Gray as middle name for both genders)

Girls:
Lyra
Juno
Cora
Erin
Dakota

Boys:
Rudy
Cayde
Cohen

I like all your girls names now Dakota is off the list, Erin is very popular round here though.

Only like Rudy off your boys list, sorry. What about Jude, is that similar?

Lyra, Cora and Erin are nice.

Juno Gray puts me in mind of a butch headteacher of an all girls school, possibly in the 1920's.

I don't like any of the boys names, sorry. But this is why I never asked opinions of my dcs name because I didn't want anyone to put me off. If you like it, go for it. Kids tend to grow into their names anyway.

I like Erin and Rudy

I do think I am feeling Juno Gray and Cora Gray slightly more than the others at the moment.

Rudy is still number 1 for me boy wise, whereas OH is really into Cayde.

I am too impatient to not find out! So at least we can half the list!

Will you be waiting for a surprise or finding out at the scan? We found it a lot easier to decide when we only had to focus on one name (although still ended up working through our list quite late in the day!)

Meant to say I think Lyra is beautiful too!

I feel like our girls list is stronger too! I do still love Rudy, but am quite liking the alliterative effect of Cohen/Cayde as it rolls nicely off the tongue!

I really like Juno and Erin, from your boys list prefer your original Rudy. Quite a few of the new names you've come up with have an alliterative effect with your surname - is that something you were going for? Fine if so, just thought I'd point it out in case Smile

Scrap Dakota. We have suddenly come to our senses on that one.
