Ok, what do people think of this somewhat short list of names? Don't know what we're having, but I'll post again for the boys in a bit...

Emily April (baby due in April hence middle name)
Lois Katie
Merryn Emily

Or different combos of these names? Our sirname begins with 'Red...' Thanks!

BelligerentGhoul · 12/02/2011 17:58

Actually, I like Merryn April too - but you didn't give that option!

Emily April is lovely, but the initials spell "ear".

How about Lois April?

Ooh thanks everyone! Didn't think about the 'EAR' issue - do you think it really matters? So noone for Lois then? Oh missed that onimolap - Yes, Lois April is nice too.
My fave is Merryn / Merrin but am slightly worried it doesn't quite roll off the tongue with my sirname.

A second for Lois April.

GabySolis · 12/02/2011 18:53

Emily April is a lovely name. Not keen on the others

thisisyesterday · 12/02/2011 18:57

I like Merryn and Lois

IngridFletcher · 12/02/2011 19:03

Like Lois and Merryn. I know a 3 year old Merryn but no Lois.

cece · 12/02/2011 19:05

I prefer Lois April

Emmeline April?

onimolap · 12/02/2011 21:22

I'm not sure how much initials spelling a word matters. My SIL, before she married, had initials which did that and hated it, and her experience colours my views. Middle initials are often omitted in day to day life; perhaps it can be lived with.

belgo · 13/02/2011 07:33

If the initials spelling a word is a problem, then just add a short second middle name.

Emily Merryn

I already have a Delphine (we usually call her Delphy) mathanxiety so maybe too many 'ines' but a lovely name still. Emily Mrryn - a strong contender TransatlanticCityGirl. I'd love to get Merryn in somewhere!

Emily is by far my prefered name of those in the OP.

CPtart · 13/02/2011 20:35

Friends daughter called Merran (different spelling). Like this, and Emily.
