I'll begin by saying this is hypothetical. Not pregnant (yet) but going to start trying soon.

Last name is Hughes.

Girls:

Cleo Hughes
Camille Hughes

Boys:

Louis Hughes
Zachary Hughes

What do you think?

Cleo and Camille are lovely! Think camille is my favourite.

Zach is nice too, and while theres nothing wrong with Louis I think as a pp said it doesn't really go with your surname x

Penny4Thoughts · 04/06/2019 20:02

They’re all lovely but I particularly love Camille

tiramisu1 · 03/06/2019 13:55

Camille or Quentin

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 03/06/2019 13:00

Camille or Louis

Louis and Camile.

Purplelavenders · 24/05/2019 10:51

I like your girls suggestions.

Not keen on either Louis or Zachary

Myotherhusbandisgaryoldman · 24/05/2019 10:20

I have a Cleo ❤️

HappyDinosaur · 24/05/2019 10:17

Zachary and Camille are lovely. I really dislike Louis, it sounds really wet and to me it doesn't work well with your surname.

outsho · 21/05/2019 13:31

Cleo is just the car to me, I can’t see past that. Love Camille.

Prefer Zachary out of the two boys.

ChloePenny · 21/05/2019 10:40

Love love love Cleo. Don’t like Camille at all!

Huey Lewis and the News In reverse this made me laugh Grin glad you’ve discounted Louis OP!
Not keen on Zachary either. What about Isaac?

spiderlight · 21/05/2019 10:35

If you love Cleo for a girl, what about Leo for a boy?

Okay, thanks all. I've discounted Louis. I just don't love Zachary as much as I'd like to. Love Cleo though so I think we are set on that if I am lucky enough to fall pregnant soon. I just can't find any boys names that I love quite as much as I love some girls names.

I really like all 4 of your names. Much as I like Camille I think Cleo works a bit better with your surname. Same with boys - I like Louis but think Zachary sounds a bit better with surname. They are all perfectly usable though.

spiderlight · 20/05/2019 14:50

Louis Hughes is a bit too reminiscent of Huey Lewis and the News. Not sure how relevant that would me these days though.

Croissantintheoven · 19/05/2019 14:01

Prefer Louis to Zachary and Camille is nice and very common here in France (I have a niece with this name). Some none French speakers mispronounce it by pronouncing the lls though instead of correct camee so that could be tricky.

Croissantintheoven · 19/05/2019 13:58

They are all lovely names.

BlueMerchant · 19/05/2019 13:08

Camille and Zachary.
My favourite boys names are Isaac and Owen.

Flamingosnbears · 19/05/2019 13:05

Camille and Zachary

YahBasic · 19/05/2019 13:05

Like Cleo and Camille if said the French way.

Louis Hughes just doesn’t work.

Thanks all. I'm more set on the girls names than the boys names. I've always struggled with boys names but luckily I've had 2 girls so far. Suggestions for boys names welcome Smile

All nice names, but I wouldn't put Louis with the surname.

CupOhTea · 19/05/2019 11:51

I like Cleo and Zachary best, but they're all quite nice.

IvanaPee · 19/05/2019 11:01

With Hughes I would say Camille (Camilla?) and Zachary.
