No A's, J's T's or P's please (they are taken)

Surname means a D to start 2nd syllable would be great.

Brendan/Brandon
Gerard

Wreford

Meryl
Meredith
Tamsin
Rhiannon
Belinda

Very good names, thank you.

I am adding Belinda, Gerard & Harvey to shortlist.

D 2nd syllable is proving tough, so far only Ida and Brandon (though Belinda works) (Wanda and Wendy are out).

I will also forward Indiana, Madison, Dakota, Maddox, Braxton & Harper to my Yankee OH who will no doubt shoot them down as "too southern".

Glenda
Rhonda
Enid

Aled
Conrad
Desmond
Eldon
Ernest
Gerald

Have you thought of using surnames for boys?
Edison
Ryder
Jefferson
Grady
Hudson

I think they sound very gatsby

That's what I'm talking about KC...

Edison is very good.

Pesto - not looking for the name to end in D - it just doesn't flow with our surname the way that Belinda does. (btw Belinda will not get passed DW)

I rule out Welsh/Scots/Irish names, keep it English or preferably New Englandish.

Sorry, just trying to make suggestions!

Fisher
Casey
Brewster
Cohen
Dalson

Malone
Reed
Ryder

Miller
Murray
Cladwell
Woodard
