Hi all,
We are expecting DC2 in August and feel a little stuck over names. My husband and I both have five letters in our christian names and coincidently five letters in our (married) surname. For this reason, we decided to stick with five letters for our children's names as well. You've got to love a gimmick - arghhh!
We took forever to agree on our first child's name and when our DD1 was born we named her Ellie Jane Rxxxt. (Our surname is single syllabled and quite blunt / hard sounding.)
Our shortlist for girls back then was:
Chloe
Heidi
Ellie
And the only name we could agree on for a boy was:
Monty
Now fast forward two and a half and it feels even trickier to find a name than before, mainly due to me wanting a name that doesn't end in an 'ee', 'ie, 'y' sound. For instance, I love:
Ellie & Angus and,
Ellie & Alice
however my husband has ruled these two names out without discussion.
My husbands favourite names that I have rejected are:
Girls:
Darcy
Sofia
Annie
Boys:
Oscar
James
My favourite names that my husband have rejected are:
Alice
Pippa
Clara
Lucia
Angus
Brynn
Isaac
Middle names are family names and set at Elizabeth and Michael.
Any help would be appreciated - thank you!
