Hmm I was going for Ellis, because Ellis Masters sounds good to me, but not sure about Ebony and Ellis as a combination. Too similar for me. I don't like nicknames as full names, so not Harry although I'd go fo Henry - to me Henry Masters has much more gravitas than Harry Masters, and the shotneings are also available (I like Hal better than Harry personally). However if you aleady have one unusual name in the family, then what the hell, go for Danté. Trés cool! Dh is a big fan of Danté - he was a great charactor (especially when it comes to insults )

Harry

ElizabethBeresfordSW19 · 03/05/2008 17:03

Just plain Harry.

But if you said Coby was a nn for Jacob, I would give it a better reception.

Kobie on a birth cert lacks something.

jellybeans · 03/05/2008 13:10

Harry is the only one I like.

HarrietTheSpy · 03/05/2008 12:05

Ellis or Harry but depends on your last name...

princessflo · 03/05/2008 12:02

To me the names are very different and bring to mind different looking children... Harry and Ellis make me think of a white child, Kobie and Dante I would imagine on a mixed race or black child.

I think Ebony and Dante look/sound the best match for siblings.

Nbg · 03/05/2008 09:53

My ds1 is Ellis and I've never heard another child with the same name.

bringmesunshine · 03/05/2008 09:51

How about Henry as Harry is a shortened version of it....if I recall correctly

bringmesunshine · 03/05/2008 09:48

Harry is lovely. All the Harrys we know are fab

Don't like any of the others.

have you decided?

belgo · 01/05/2008 13:38

Shouldn't Dante be Danté?

VictorianSqualor · 01/05/2008 12:21

I ADORE Dante, I wanted it for mine but it didn't really go with the other DCs names

NurkMagiggy · 01/05/2008 12:17

Dante. Know hundreds of Harrys!!

TigerFeet · 01/05/2008 12:15

Another vote for Harry

Harry James from Collision's list is lovely.

Ellis is OK, not a name I would chose but I wouldn't think if I heard it shouted in the aisles at Tesco.

Dante is too poncetastic and Kobie - I like the sound of the word iyswim but he would spend his life spelling it to people and explaining where his unusual name came from.

Ineedsomesleep · 01/05/2008 12:15

Another vote for Harry. Don't like the others at all, sound like names off Jeremy Kyle.

Kobe (pronounced Ko-ba) is apparently a flemish name as well, it least it is popular in Flanders. It's nice. I don't mind Kobie.

collision · 01/05/2008 12:09

Harry Joseph

Harry James

Harry George

Harry Thomas

Are there any family names you could put with Harry? For some reason I do like a middle name to be there for a reason!

MrsMattie · 01/05/2008 12:06

Hate Harry. Hate all those old man names that have come back. There are about a billion Harrys round here, too, but may be different where you live.

I liked Kobe when I was pregnant with DH (without the 'i'...i think it's a Swahili name, actually) but at the time Kobe Bryant was on trial for rape, so thought, hmmm, perhaps not

susiecutiebananas · 01/05/2008 12:05

How about Harry Ellis Masters?

Definitely not Kobie or Dante - remind me of gangster rappers for some reason!

Beauregard · 01/05/2008 12:03

Harry

Jojay · 01/05/2008 12:03

Harry. Don't like the others much - sorry.

belgo · 01/05/2008 12:02

Harry.
