Ray and Veda.
There were lots of Josie's when I was growing up, short for Josephine. Usually one of the younger girls, when Ann-marie, Bernadette, Theresa etc had already been used. For that reason I don't like it.

Ray and Veda.

But I would spell it Vida.

Rory - great name

Summer - only if have to pick from your choices though. Not keen on any of your girls names

Rory

Not keen on the girls list.
Veda sounds like VD. Like someone’s suggestion of Vita though. That’s really nice.

2.Veda

  1. Summer

Of the 3 Josie but prefer Josephine.

Rory and josie.
My only concern with Rory is that I can't see as an adults name however this could be just because I only know children called Rory. By the time a baby Rory becomes an adult they'll be loads!

Ithinkhedidit · 07/02/2021 14:38

Rory and Summer, although I do like Ray too.

Mapless · 07/02/2021 14:36

Rory or Finn and Josie. Actually Rory or Josie for a girl too

octoberfarm · 07/02/2021 14:32

Rory and Josie

While none are my taste (I tend to prefer more traditional names - although I understand Rory is more classic in Scotland, and I like Josie as a nn for Josephine); Ray and Veda do sound pretty cool. Maybe Vita instead? (would avoid any Darth Vader associations and Vita has a cool retro sound like Ray)

frenchfancy81 · 07/02/2021 03:06

Finn and Josie immediately and after much consideration 👌

Whalespeak · 07/02/2021 03:01

Rory and josie too
