Final names, what do you think?

[WaitingforStork]

Think we've narrowed our list down to a favourite boy name and a favourite girl name for our baby due in September. Thought I'd canvas opinions in case I've missed any unfortunate connections or nickname potential!

Elizabeth Clare
Ross Alexander

surname is two syllable and starts with S. I think they are fairy safe and middle of the road but would prefer it if they fell on the nice/pretty side rather then totally dull!

Thanks for looking, looking forward to seeing what you think.

very nice

Lovely! I especially like Ross- very good name but you don't hear it much now-definitely due a comeback!

Love Elizabeth Claire.
Like Ross a lot (most people on here don't though!); less fond of Alexander but they sound fine together.

I love Ross , great name

You can be as honest as you like! Everyone has different tastes and it's good to see others point of view.

I really like Ross, Alexander (as a MN) and Clare. Elizabeth falls on the dull list for me I'm afraid - although most MNer's would probably disagree. I think it's because I don't like any of the nicknames/shortened versions of Elizabeth - do you have a NN in mind or would you stick with the full name?

I can't stand Ross Alexander as that is XHs name. Apart from that it is actually quite nice.

I like Elizabeth Clare though.

Absolutely lovely names

I had to be won round by Elizabeth due to really not liking Liz or Lizzy for a baby, think we would use Libby as a nn or stick with full name. Alternatively I might win round with Alice instead! Still some time to go.

Clare and alexander are family names so pretty sure we'll stick with those as they mean something to us.

I like!

Not a fan of Ross sorry. Unless you are Scottish then it is nice.

Yes I know that sounds weird but Ross works in a Scottish accent.

Thats fine coco, as you say world would be very boring if we were all the same!

There definitely seems to be a trend to where you live and what named are popular, we are in scotland and there are some names posted on here i've never heard of!

How funny! I know lots of Scottish boys called Ross. Ditto Lachlan, Logan, Jamie and Finlay.

I like Alice better than Elizabeth.

I love Elizabeth Clare. Beautiful name.

I have t be honest, I think Alexander is much nicer than Ross, but if you are happy with it, go for it.

I like Elizabeth 100x better than Alice.

But you can't win if you are going to ask a huge forum like Mumsnet!

There is guaranteed to be a division of opinion on whatever names you choose but I have no doubt at all that you will come up with the perfect name for your dc.

I like Elizabeth, and love Libby.

I like the name Alexander more than Ross, but I don't hate it.

Both names sound really nice - i'm in scotland too and they are easy to say and spell which is important.

My only observation is that a girl may have to contend with E-clare?

Good luck for september x

Ross sounds dated, Alexander is ok-ish.
Elizabeth Clare won't set the world on fire but sounds quite sweet together.

Love them.
