DD is Iona Jane and now looking for girl/boy names - liked Iona as I was one of 6 with my name in my class at school and DH one of 4!

Sort of like the following but none quite right yet

Erin
Beth(any)
matilda
Evie (love it but DH thinks too popular

Isaac
Eli (love this I think!)
Miles
Noah

any thoughts ideas greatly appreciated! We like unsual but not 'too different' if that makes sense

I pretty much like all your names. except Miles

First choices would be:

Erin

Isaac/Eli

Another nice name beginning with E is Elvie (girl)

What about Evan or Asa for a boy ?

Vanessa

conor

Matilda, isaac and noah are extremely popular round here, litterally every other child

Miles or Beth(any)

Erin is horrible
Evie is beautiful but it is popular
Matilda is ok, can't understand why everybody loves it so much.

Isaac, love this one. could be just Zak which I also like
Eli - no. bit feminine, very long grey beard holding a stone tablet and cane imo
Noah, very like Iona, give them their own consonantSS.

Erin
Beth(any)
matilda
Evie

Isaac
Eli (love this I think!)
Miles
Noah

Out of your list if you are worried about having a few in the class, then near me, Erin is your best bet for a girl and Eli or Miles for a boy. Out of the boys names I really like Eli.

Erin - nice, although I thik the vowels + n sound make it similar to Iona
Beth(any) - I like Beth
matilda - nice
Evie (love it but DH thinks too popular - I really like Eve, with teh nickname Evie, Iona and Eve are nice together.

Isaac - not keen
Eli (love this I think!) - not keen at all
Miles - no
Noah - no, you can't! ALmost an anagram of Iona
