I like Matthew, Susannah and Mary.

DontWorryBaby · 07/09/2011 00:28

Enzo is a bit too unusual for me but I love all your other boy's names.

I've always liked the name Lana, that would be my favourite. Susannah is nice as well.

Noah and lana . Like Luna too but I'm too much of a Harry potter fanatic it would be a total cliché if I used it

I really like Alastair for a boy and Susannah for a girl.

letspickgoogleberries · 07/09/2011 16:04

Oscar - I really like
James - I love James but it is DD1 mn so I wouldn't use it
Matthew - It a 'blurh' like a nothing name
Alaistair - Really Like it
Enzo nn Ernie - It's .... I like it and based on your DC nn it would fit.
Noah - Like

Radar and Elmo - DH would only have if mn (for either a boy or a girl)

I would only use Elmo for a boy.

Oscar Elmo
Alaistair Radar
Enzo Radar
Noah Elmo

Luna - Love it
Carol - No no no,
Lana - Anal
Susan/Susannah - Hate susan love susannah

Luna Radar
Mary Susannah
Mary Radar

btw i love the nn of Key, it's really cool

Luna is nice as is Alaistair. With Luna I would have a more normal mn but with names like Alaistair you could be more adventurous with mn - Radar would be cool.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/09/2011 21:12

Radar? Nope - don't like that at all, sorry.

I like Oscar, James and Noah. Matthew is okay.
Luna is the nicest from the girls' list, I think.

plinkplonk · 07/09/2011 21:34

I love Enzo, and Susannah is one of my favourite girl's names.

Cereal · 07/09/2011 21:56

Oscar - dislike, pretentious
James - like
Matthew - OK
Alistair - like
Enzo nn Ernie - dislike
Noah - OK, a bit faddy

Radar and Elmo - too strange

Luna - lunatic
Carol - too dated
Lana - OK
Susan/Susannah - like Susan
Mary - like

exoticfruits · 07/09/2011 22:06

James, Matthew, Susannah and Mary-not the rest.
