Are our final two a bit crap?

[MadDash]

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

I love Romilly. Genevieve is a very long name and difficult to learn to spell for the child! I know a Genevieve who is known as Evie. For me, Gray is nice but is nn for Graham. Tor I've only known as nn for Victoria, so don't see it as a male name. The boys names work better the other way around - Isaac Gray flows better. I know too many Zachary / Zack / Zac / Zak to like it.

There should be a degree course in naming children, it is so hard!!!

Drop the first names and use the second ones, they aree all lovely.

I like Asha and Romilly. Not sure on Tor or Gray though.

Love your 2 current boys names though - Otis and Monty are great. We are considering Monty for our baby but are still a little unsure about it. How old is your Monty? A little irrelevant to your post sorry, but have you had any negative thoughts / feedback on his name? Just want honest opinions from someone who has a Monty!

I wouldn't name a child after a colour associated with blandness and lack of character - also, John Major instantly springs to mind.....

sorry!

(but wouldn't life be boring if we all had the same opinions on everything?)

I like Asha - feminine and works well in most languages. Romilly sounds odd imo...

I think Tor is a great boys name and goes well with your other dc's names.

I like Romilly and Zachary but am afraid really don't like any of the other names...

I don't like them but everybody likes different names. I know that most people on here wouldn't like our chosen girls name which is why I haven't posted it. If you like it then go for it. After all it is you who will be using it for the rest of its life!

Gray is awful, and not even spelled correctly. Tor and Asha are just silly.

Actually thinking about it, I do know a Tor, had forgotten initially because he is usually called 'Vicky' by his peergroup.......

Romilly is beautiful - top 3 for me if we have another dd. I think it goes nicely with Abigail, too. Like Zachary. Not keen on Asha, but that's probably because I knew one I didn't like. Isaac, Zak for short, I also like. Not keen on Gray - v. American, but fine if you are!

Tor, Gray and Asha are all just weird.

Asha is nice, it is a name in many cultures and languages, such as in polish it is short for Joanna, and it is also a name in Hindi and swahili, in Arabic it is a nn for asiya.

I fail to understand what is weird and silly a about it?

prefer Genevieve Asha, but I wouldn't be if I heard any of the names. Love, love, LOVE Otis and Monty BTW

I like the girls names, although they would probably go better with shorter middle names.

Don't like the boys names but that's just my tastes, you really should go with what you love.

I like Asha - have never heard of one in real life but it makes me think of the Song of Ice and Fire character :) It's a good name, not silly at all. Romilly is lovely too.

I don't like Tor or Gray though, sorry. Especially Gray, too surname-ish and not even a nice/interesting colour! Isaac and Zachary are better, I'd be inclined to switch first/middle names around for the boy's ones.

I hear tort (French for "wrong"), achats (French for "purchases") and gré (French for "volition").

I like them all except Zachary, there are already lots of Zacs about!

I really like Romilly but I don't like the name Abigail at all I don't know why, it's just one of those names you dislike for no reason. I am not keen on Geneveive either.
Asha is nice but not as nice as Romilly, I would choose Romilly Asha for a girl.

I love the name Isaac DS2 was Isaac for twenty mins! Then we learned there were two others born that day so we went for our second choice.
I like Gray better than Tor, Tor sounds a bit unfinished to me. Gray sounds good with Otis and Monty.

I know someone who has just named their son Tor Issac. I love all your boys names!

Asha Genevieve is lovely. Really dislike Romilly. Don't like the boys' names at all.

I love Isaac and Zachary, and Genevieve is pretty (and gives you nn options - Genny/Evie etc)...

And actually just remembered I was at school with a Romilly and thought it was quite cool!

I think they are all great names.

I know a Thor, pronounced Tor.

yes they are crap.
BUT if you like them then go for it
