Are our final two a bit crap?

We've finally managed to narrow it down to two names for each sex, and I think we're going to wait to meet the baby before we choose the final name. However, I'm really worried that our final two are a bit crap! What do you think of them, are they useable and do you have a favourite? DS's are Otis and Monty.

Asha Genevieve
or
Romilly Abigail

Tor Zachary
or
Gray Isaac

Love Romilly and Otis.

Do not like Tor or Gray or Asha.

Your DS has good taste in names!

Mmmm ...I don't think thee names go with each other but I individually quite like Otis and Genevieve.

Rhubarbgarden · 02/02/2012 21:50

Erm. I like Genevieve.

beatofthedrum · 02/02/2012 21:51

I think you mean you already have 2 boys called Otis and Monty, no?

I think your first names are fab (love Romilly and Gray) but that the middle names complicate them too much and should be shorter/simpler.

cece · 02/02/2012 21:54

I like Genevieve; not sure about the others.

Tor and Gray sound like nn for longer names? Are you going to use Victor or Graham?

SoupDragon · 02/02/2012 21:56

The boy names sound better switched with the middle names first. TBH, I think Tor and Gray are awful.

I'm not keen on Asha either.

MadDash · 02/02/2012 21:59

Oops, yes, that should have read DC's names are Otis and Monty

I love all of those names. All of them.

seren82 · 02/02/2012 22:07

Yes, I think that Isaac and Zachary are better as first names! Romilly is lovely too.

lurkinginthebackground · 02/02/2012 22:13

I like Gray and Romilly best.

hohohoshedittant · 02/02/2012 22:18

I don't like any of them tbh.

I think Isaac is the nicest boys name of your options and Abigail the nicest girls name.

I know three Ashas and they're all boys.

chocoroo · 02/02/2012 22:22

We have a Romilly, so in my unbiased opinion I like that best. DO was pushing for Genevieve and I didn't like it but I love it now. We also liked Seren and Aurelia.

I like the sound of your boy's names but wouldn't be brave enough to use either. They go well with your DS's names though.

CecilyP · 02/02/2012 22:36

I like Romilly but not sure it goes with Abigail. Think a shorter middle name would be better. Also think Isaac Gray sounds better than the other way round. Not keen on your other choices.

yellowraincoat · 02/02/2012 22:41

Tor is not a name. Gray is not a name. If it was, Gray Issac sounds like a grumpy kids' cartoon character.

Genivieve is just silly in my opinion.

Abigail is nice.

awomenscorned · 02/02/2012 22:41

Like romilly, the rest are crap.

Tryharder · 02/02/2012 22:48

Isaac is fab. Definitely make that your first name. Gray and Tor sound like a Mills and Boon heroes (although you might think that is a good thing Grin)

Are you pronouncing Genevieve in the French or English way?

CheerfulYank · 02/02/2012 22:56

I really like Gray, and am sad I can never use it as my last name is Brick.

Romilly is nice. Genevieve nicer IMO.

hohohoshedittant · 02/02/2012 22:58

Gray Brick is a brilliant name. Use it Yank.

CheerfulYank · 02/02/2012 23:15

All that comes to mind is this :o

Doodlegoogle · 02/02/2012 23:19

I like all of them - I think we have quite similar taste! Genevieve would be on our list if it weren't for the surname clash and I really dislike lots of boys names but Tor is on our slim list as is Isaac and Zachary.
We looked at all the longer versions of Tor and were unconvinced. It is a proper name in itself - I knew a very lovely Norweigan man called Tor once which is where we got the idea from. I think it is also Scottish.

PiedWagtail · 02/02/2012 23:28

I like Genevieve and Romilly. Also Gray. Not sure about Tor (whoever said it's Scottish - it isn't!)

PopcornBiscuit · 02/02/2012 23:58

Romilly Abigail

Tor Zachary

nooka · 03/02/2012 03:26

I like Romilly (and Romy too) and I really like Genevieve.

My surname used to be Gray so I really really don't see it as a first name. It's not even a particularly nice colour!

SoFarWeAreEqual · 03/02/2012 08:08

I think Romilly is very pretty, don't like Asha very much though.

I really like Gray but Tor is not nice at all, sorry.
