Hello, me and my husband are keeping the sex of our baby a surprise but have shortlisted a few names which I'd like opinions on please! So for a girl we have either Polly or Elodie and for a boy we have Isaac or Ivo (pronounced eye-vo) thanks

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Polly is a parrot's name to me (sorry)

Elodie is beautiful when said in a French accent.

But with some of the accents of the UK accents, not so much...

Try it yourself in RP, Estuary, Manchester, Birmingham, Black Country, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cornish, Edinburgh, Welsh etc. and see if you still like it as much.

Isaac - love it

Ivo - ok

Don’t like any apart from Isaac

The only one I don’t really like is Elodie! Great names. I’d choose Polly and Ivo, personally. Isaac is lovely too, though.

INeedNewShoes · 11/01/2020 19:44

Ivo looks like a made up name to me (though I know if may well not be!)

I like all of the others.

Don’t like Polly, love the others.

dreamsmama · 11/01/2020 19:41

Polly and Isaac! I absolutely adore them, a little different without being too out there x

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 11/01/2020 19:40

Polly is lovely and so is Ivo. Congratulations!

MyCatScaresDogs · 11/01/2020 19:39

All great names but love Polly and Isaac.

WindyMiller1020 · 11/01/2020 19:38

I like all of them! Think I like Polly and Elodie equally, they're so different I cant decide which I prefer.

I love Isaac so would choose that over Ivo personally but Ivo sounds very cool, I dont think I've heard it before.

OrchidFlakes · 11/01/2020 19:36

Polly is absolutely gorgeous. I love it! I’m not mad for Elodie though.
I think life as Ivo would be tough as he would be constantly explaining how to pronounce it. What about Ivan? Similar sound but more widely recognised. Issac is lovely too.
