Baby due very soon. Still undecided!

Girl
"Top 10" choice - Lucy Scarlett
Less obvious choice - Naomi Iris

Boy
"Top 10" - James Alexander
Less obvious - Robin Alexander or Owen Alexander

Thoughts?

Lucy Scarlett is very nice :)

Naomi is lovely too, but Iris is a bit faddy for my liking.

James Alexander is great, very nice classic name.

I don't like Robin or Owen.

Love love James, and have loved Lucy since I first heard ''Lucy in the sky with diamonds''. You have very good taste :)

Naomi Iris and Robin Alexander are lovely - watch out for the initials though, both have the potential for less than desirable initials - NIT, RAT etc.

James is a very dull, unpleasant name. I can't understand why it is so popular.

James is a lovely name Shock

Don't like Robin but Alexander is lovely.

Iris is nice too, Lucy is a bit meh imo.

I like Robin very much.
Think your girl's names are all nice enough on their own, but fussy when put together. How about Jean as a middle name, or May?

pictish · 26/08/2011 09:25

Scarlett Jean would work.

Just my thoughts...feel free to dismiss.

pictish · 26/08/2011 09:26

Or Lucy May.

Your names don't flow...iyswim?

Will shut up now. Blush

I prefer Lucy Scarlett and James Alexander, closely followed by Owen Alexander. I know a Robin and he hates his name, if this helps.
Also I think the Naomi Campbell connection is not a positive one for me!

Hulababy · 26/08/2011 23:33

Lucy Scarlett and James Alexander

Offspring · 27/08/2011 03:04

Naomi Iris and Owen Alexander.

tummytickler · 27/08/2011 06:38

Naomi Iris and Robin Alexander.

GoingToHelenaHandcart · 27/08/2011 20:46

Naomi and Robin for me.

LaTristesse · 27/08/2011 21:02

Why don't you bear them all in mind and see what the baby looks like?

Fwiw I prefer Naomi and Robin. Don't like Scarlett. No feelings either way about the other names...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/08/2011 23:06

Naomi Iris is gorgeous.
Love Robin for a boy as well.

Italiangreyhound · 27/08/2011 23:57

Of your choices:

Girl
Naomi Iris

Boy
James Alexander

But personally prefer either Scarlett Iris or Naomi Scarlett
