Hi all,

Lots of strong opinions on this board! Anyway, I decided to start a guaranteed non-offensive thread (well, hopefully anyway!) as this is a hypothetical situation but I promise I will take all suggestions seriously and file it all away for future use as and when it happens. It would also be a test of how good you all name experts are! DH and I are thinking of TTC-ing number 2 very soon. Don't care if it is a boy or girl. DS is Aidan. Our surname starts with R and end with 'ley'. So no names with the same end sound. For example, if DS had been a girl, our favourite girl name would have been Iris but it wouldn't have worked with the surname. Our son could have been an 'Oliver' but we didn't want a name that ended with a letter that the surname started with and the short form of Oliver 'Ollie' wouldn't have sounded good with our surname...

So what name(s) would you suggest for our next DS/DD? We like 'proper' traditional names (no made-up names) that aren't too popular (Aidan is in top 100 but bottom 50). Love names that end with the 'ah' sound like Aidan as it sounds good with our surname. I really love Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's new baby name - Seraphina. Also love Sophia (but probably too popular for us now).

Any suggestions? Let's see how good all your suggestions are! Thank you!

Martha

Joseph
Edward
William

I also like:
Matilda
Florence
Fred
Charles

But I guess the nn from these wouldn't match your requirements.

Is it bad to say nothing strikes me yet... We must have been through every name in the book when we named DS! Keep them coming though...
