What do you think please?
Seren Isabella or Isla Grace for a girl?
Felix James or Beau Alexander for a boy?
Thanks.

Seren and Felix

Honestly I think Beau is really naff.

I really like Felix though, it travels well, it's underused, it's well established but still a bit quirky. Great name imo.

Seren or Isla both nice. I prefer Isla though it is v popular and that would put me off a bit.

And it was going to be Felix James as we preferred James but our other son had already had one grandfather's name for a middle name so we didn't want the other one to feel left out!

Ooooh I like all combinations. I have a Felix John (John is a family name). It wasn't my favourite boys name but it was the one DH were able to agree on. He liked Raife, Hector, Gabriel. I liked Charlie and Edward (Teddy) (on reflection sound so royal lol).

I knew a Seren at school spelt Seryn. I remember she'd get frustrated at the amount of times she'd have to repeat herself or correct people on the pronunciation/spelling. I'm not a fan myself and much prefer Serena. I think Isla is lovely though.

dislike Beau- Felix ok but much prefer your mn choices! Alexander is in my top 5.

Definitely felix :)
And not sure on girls... I like Isla grace but both are quite popular. Seren therefore rarer gets my vote, and Isabella is popular too so that's a nice mix x

Tbh, I personally really dislike Beau. Sorry.

ChippieFishieHorshie · 07/04/2017 21:43

Felix James is gorgeous.

I like Seren and Isla, but I do prefer Isla. (and I also like Serena)
