Vowel-y names

35 replies

AtticaRose · 22/07/2018 08:25

DH's last name is very consonant-y (begins Cl- and ends -ns, two syllables) and pretty rare. Looking for suggestions for boy and girl names that have plenty of vowels! Relatively recognisable and easy to say/spell is a plus. DH also hates boys names of the Archie/Alfie/Freddie type.

I like:
Elinor (can't use)
Maria
Beatrice
Natasha
Naomi
Arthur
Matthew
William
Alexander

Any better suggestions?
