Thoughts on shortlist/further suggestions please! Have a harsh surname ending in ‘on’ so looking for vowelly/soft names.

Emmett just makes me think emetophobia - fear of being sick - so that's a definite no from me! Emmet is also a derogatory term for tourists in Cornwall. The others are good, I don't really have a favourite.

Oh I had no idea! That’s off-putting.

thanks all. Silas and Leo are lovely suggestions

Aww love Ivy ❤️ feel that a 2 to 3 syllable name would work best for her brother.
I think Ethan, Oliver, Oscar, roll off the tongue quite well with Ivy.

I like Jasper.

To me Ivy is a Goth name rather than a nature name. Silas?

Jasper and Ivy are gorgeous together

shoopshoopdedoo · 28/12/2024 21:21

I’m not especially drawn to any on your list, but Kit would be my top pick. Jasper is my standout last choice - I really dislike it, but there’s no accounting for taste as I know it’s very popular on here! I do really like Asher, as suggested by PP.

BoleynMemories13 · 28/12/2024 20:58

I love Kit and Jude (and Lucas, which I see you also like).

I know too many dogs called Jasper to like it as a baby name.

Songlines · 28/12/2024 20:48

Jude
Jesse

Jasper goes v well and continues your nature theme.

I also like Jude

Rowan
Ashley or Asher (ash)
Christopher with kit as a NN. It's nice and flow-ey but gives more choices than using the NN as an only name.
