I’d go for Saoirse Isobel.

TheCatInAHat · 12/04/2020 07:35

My DS is Alex James so I’m strongly biased. But I really do love the name.
I love Saoirse as well.

CakeRattleandRoll · 12/04/2020 07:32

Oisín Alexander and Saoirse Grace. Especially as you are Irish and live in Ireland.

Alexander James
Zara Elizabeth

Alex James just makes me think of Blur!

SeaLettuce · 11/04/2020 22:57

Saoirse and Oisín are much the nicest. Don’t let Little Englanders scaremongering about the possibility that no one will ever be able to pronounce them put you off. My son, DH and I have far more unusual and ‘unphonetic’ (in English) names and surnames, and lived in England for over 20 years and people managed just fine.

MadameJosephine · 11/04/2020 22:51

I love Saoirse and would have said Saoirse Grace was my favourite from your girls list but I’m not sure if goes with Mia, so I’d probably choose Zoe Elizabeth instead

For a boy I’d choose Alex James, although I’d prefer Alexander James

CalleighDoodle · 11/04/2020 22:45

Zoë and Alex

Zara Grace

Alex James

Marphise · 11/04/2020 22:34

I like Saoirse, it sounds better than Zoe or Zara imo.

No clue how to pronounce Oisin but I do love Alexander. How about Alexander Oisin ?

PinkCrayon · 11/04/2020 22:27

Zara Grace
Alex James

Staffori · 11/04/2020 22:25

Ah, I've just read that you're Irish, in which case I like Saoirse Grace just as much.

Staffori · 11/04/2020 22:21

Zara Grace
Alex James

Batqueen · 11/04/2020 21:28

I think Alex and Zoe go best with Mia

17caterpillars1mouse · 11/04/2020 21:25

Zoe Amelia or Zara Isobel get my vote for girls. I slightly t prefer Zoe

I like Oisin Alexander for a boy

Mummytea24 · 11/04/2020 19:55

But do you live in Ireland, OP? I like the Irish names you’ve picked, but if you live in England, the daily butchering will drive you nuts 😂. If you live in Ireland, go for it!

user1493494961 · 11/04/2020 16:47

Alex James or Zara Elizabeth.
