We have Dean Finnegan, Leia Megan and Heidi Matilda.
Leia and Heidi are our twins. Am very surprised to be expecting which I was why I wanted help picking a name. I love that Dean, Leia and Heidi have names that are unusual but known. Has anybody got experience of four children and what it's like?
Boys names we like atm are: Nolan Xavier, Beau Tatum, Beau Theodore, Gus David, Dax Austin, Kit Dominic, Austin Dax or Roman Theodore.
Girls names we like atm are: Cora Wren, Maren Stella, Ivy Delilah, Tess Valentina, Shay Saskia, Amy Delilah, Abbey Juliet or Ciara Delaney.

Please choose your favourite three names!
Our surname is a single syllable and begins with S.

Thanks xx

Girls - Ivy Delilah & Cora Wren. I like Maren & Tess but I don't like the middle names you've paired them with and don't think they go well with Stella or Valentina.

Boys - Gus & Theodore (even though you haven't put Theodore as a first name choice).

Buttwing · 09/12/2016 20:21

Kit Dominic and Maren Stella are my favourites. I've got 4dc (11,6,3 and 2) it's chaos and knackering but lots of fun, especially at this time of yearSmile

Thanks Pluto xx
I chose Abbey because I dislike the spelling of Abby/Abbie and feel it is more of a full name.

I love the name Theodore- that was on our name list. I also love Kitt. We also had Otto on our list which I adore.

The boys name I like best is Roman Theodore. I really love Roman.

Second, I like Austin, but I'm not keen on Dax. Dash or Dashiell would be nice. Smile

My favourite of your girls names is Ivy Delilah, followed by Abbey Juliet. My concern with Ivy would be that it's rapidly jumping up the popularity charts and I wouldn't be surprised if it cracks the top 10 in the near future. Here in Australia, Ivy is the 15th most popular name at the moment, and rising. So, by default, I'd choose Abbey Juliet, but I'd pick the spelling Abby because Abbey is often associated with Catholicism.

Because, I like certain middle names better with certain first names. For example to me, Ivy Valentina would run together as the V's are too much. If you really want just pick your favourite first and middle name. Smile

Thanks wine and hey xx

Why are all of your first and middle name options different? Like Ivy Delilah and Tess Valentina? Why can't Ivy go with Valentina and Tess go with Delilah? Smile

It just seems like you're making things really hard for yourself. Would it be better to at least focus your mind on one middle name, say, and then think which first names go nicely with that (or vice versa)?

Boys: Dax Austin, Kit Dominic, Austin Dax
Girls: Cora Wren, Ivy Delilah, Tess Valentina,

Congratulations!
