bit of a leap from the flower name thing - Saffron? (comes from the crocus - trying to think laterally here for you )

also just realised, you couldn't really want Felix and Alex together, could you?

Have suggested this on another thread as well - Mignon(ne)? A bit French maybe, quite flowery (mignonette), means sweet. Or Giselle? v.feminine.

Ariel?

Just seen Lois mentioned above, Really don't like Felix and Harriet (togehter...I love Felix!). I think Felix is quite a funky name, whilst being traditional (the 'x' is so cool). How about Sylvie?

Had another one for you, accessorize. Not sure if it's come up on this thread, but I like this name too...Lois. (And it might be traditional enough for your dh!). Did you think about Charlotte. I can't have that, because we had a cat called Charlotte/ Charlie for 18 years! (so the name is now established in our family as a cat's name) but I like that too.

If you do go for Alexandra, there are lots of different diminuitives for it, including Sasha, Zandra, Ali, Sandy, Alexa, but Ihave jsut seen the problem with all of these is that they either end in -y or -a sounds! Ah well.

What abou Clover?

OK, maybe it would be a bit too radical to change your surname too... We had a similar problem as we wanted a girl's name that didn't end in a vowel as my surname starts with an e, and there were also others that would have been ridiculous with the surname, particularly for ds (can't explain properly without saying the surname). Afterwards we did regret a bit that we'd not thought of all reverting to my MIL's maiden name as it's very unusual and would have given us a lot more scope for first names.

I've had another thought: what about Alex? It's a pretty but traditional name, and it would go well with Felix. Or have Alex for the boy and change the girl to Felicity?

Actually, aq, I think Harriet probably goes really well with that group of names.

I'm sorry, I just had a really silly idea - what about Catherine, Cat for short - then you have twins Felix and Cat! sorry

Lois - anyone mentioned it yet? One of my favourite names.

Dd is Erin, so it's top of my list. Elise also lovely.

ooh, imogen is gorgeous - and goes well with your boys' names

Imogen

hmmmm...i come from a place where 'na'alay' was quite common name in my age group(you don't pronounce the 't' and the ending is pronounced as above - but the French version is nice).

Darn 'Gabe' is such a cool name. I think maybe our dh's are twins! Vetoing everything. though I was proud of my dh to even consider Blythe. I've gone off Iris (even though I love the name) as it says to me fair skin and blue eyes and we are a mixed family so have olive skinned children. It just wouldn't 'go'!

How about Gabriel? Another favourite that we can't have because of our 'el' surname.

Dh vetoed Blythe, but may be convinced on Iris. Wouldn't want to steal it from you though!

twins thread

Just read whole thread. Hee hee...our 'pretend' names for the babies are Felix and Felicity.(Dh's name is Felician). I like both names, but too similar to his name and Elliot is rather like mine. I don't mine 'E', 'E'. In fact I really wanted Eve for a girl, but sil has it as middle name for her daughter and is a bit weird about things like that. If we are stuck, I may have to beg and plead her .

Well done for having a boys name?! You are well ahead of us. Can ask your other ds's names as inspiration for us? (WE live far enough away!).

I think there is more pressure on the girl's name too, as it's gonna be the only girl you get to name (well, it will be for me) and like you, I want something pretty. Lol at Vegetation. I know a girl called 'Cedar'.

Our surname is FOUR syllables so do want something short. I like Meredith and Madeleine, but both long. Blythe is my favourite on here so far, but am predicting dh's reaction! Names ending in 'bel' are pretty but I don't like them much.

Sorry for semi hijack! If I think of any more, I will let you know.

Accessorize, it's really good to see you! How are things going? Get back on the twins thread and let me know...have been wondering if all was ok and how you were coping with the boys. I am not coping very well this week and you are further on than me.

How strange! This is EXACTLY the dilemma we have! Our surname begins with an 'e' and ends in 'el', so we can't have names ending in vowels or 'el' (Shame as I really like Joel, Daniel, Samuel - but they are all fine for you!). 'Erin' is also on our girls list, which currently stands at 2 we agree on!

So far we are really stuck on names and don't love anything...I am hoping for inspiration a week before the birth like happened with ds (although now I find his name is no.3 in the ranking and I never wanted a 'popular' name).

Girls: Charis, Lauren, Agnes, Edith (Edie), Marigold (I love it but of course no-one else does), Suzanne
