Boys

Jacob
Max
Evan
Jonah

Girls

These are all we have and at that I am not completely in love with any of them like I was (am) with dc1 name . she is Phoebe .

Max
Violet

Both lovely.

Psammead · 31/05/2012 11:40

I like Jacob and Jonah, Charlotte and Georgia.

flipflopper · 31/05/2012 11:41

I love Evan, am considering that one myself.

Georgia Johanna doesnt sound right to me. I like either Charlotte or Violet, and they go with your dd's name too.

DulcetMoans · 31/05/2012 11:45

Love Jonah, that's not mentioned very often too. Least keen on Evan but still like it!

Like all your girls names. Not sure if you can get the Callie nn to stick though, would have expected it to be Char or Lottie.

squoosh · 31/05/2012 11:49

Evan and Violet

SiioCal · 31/05/2012 11:56

Thanks for the repliesSmile

I see what you mean about the Callie dulcet that's came from me liking Callie and DH liking Charlotte . So was thinking having Charlotte on bc but making it known she is Callie . I dont know it's too haaaard GrinGrin

flip DD would without a doubt have been Evan had she been a boy , but I don't love it as much as I did . I'm really struggling this tine round . I think it may be because I love Phoebe as a name so much that nothing seems as good iyswim ?

My order of preference for your boys names is as you've listed them - Jacob is lovely.

Of the girls, I love Georgia - thats on our shortlist!

SiioCal · 31/05/2012 12:49

Thanks cherub Jacob is my fav too but DH not so keen because he thinks there will be loads of Jacobs due to twilight .

Oooh what else is on your shortlist. ? When are you due ?

I wanted Phoebe but we gave it to the cat as we thought kids were waaaay off. We called the boy vat Rex which was our favourite boys name too, so naturally I think Rex would be the perfect name for the brother of a Phoebe.

Off you list I like Max and Charlotte

suburbandream · 31/05/2012 13:37

Boys

Jacob - quite a lot of them about
Max - ditto
Evan - love it, wish we'd used it for DS2 Smile
Jonah - not overly keen

Girls

Charlotte (possible nn Callie) - never liked it but that's probably just me!
Georgia (nn Georgie) - love it
Violet - love it, although people might think of Violet Beauregard or Violet Elizabeth (if they are as old as me Wink)

othersideofchannel · 31/05/2012 13:38

I love Charlotte and Violet!

Not that keen on your boys' names - very popular already - but I'd choose Evan if I had to pick one.

GoPoldark · 31/05/2012 13:43

Names possibly a bit like Evan:

Dylan

Ifan (ee-van)

Jonas as an alternative to Jonah?

Names which for no good reason I would think someone who loved Phoebe would like:

Juliette

Melissa

Tamar

Carys

Linnet

SugarBatty · 31/05/2012 13:47

Max and violet

SiioCal · 31/05/2012 14:02

Yeah I like jonas too go but the jonas brothers really put me off it !!

Oooh juliette will need to mention that one to DH Smile

OP posts:
ViolaCrayola · 31/05/2012 14:10

I like Jonah and Violet best.

Some more suggestions:

Ezra
Noah
Alexander

Sophia
Stella
Josephine

SiioCal · 31/05/2012 14:54

I'm loving the suggestions will need to see what DH thinks tonight Grin

Love all your names. Would not use Jacob because of personal phobia of popular names...but maybe Jake.

For girls, all beautiful names. I especially love Callie.
I agree with whoever said Georgia Johanna sounds not the most ideal, but IMO still an OK combination. If you're toally set on Johanna for middle, I'd be partial to Charlotte/"Callie" or Violet.

SiioCal · 31/05/2012 18:38

Thanks lannie

Yeah Johanna has a special family connection so it will definitely be MN regardless of first name . But I think it is a bit of a mouthful !

Jacob David, Evan David and Jonah David all sound good together; I think Jonah David is the nicest. I'm not keen on Max David.

I have a cousin who is Charlotte Joanna Smile I like Charlotte Johanna the best from your girls list. I think it has a pretty ring to it. I like Georgia, but think it sounds like a lot of alliteration with Johanna (that said our DD2's initials are going to be SFF when she arrivesSmile). I'm not keen on Violet so wouldn't really consider it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/05/2012 19:58

Like Jacob and Max. Dislike Evan and Jonah. Like David.

Like Charlotte but Callie seems a strange nn for it. Like Violet. Hate Georgia but love Georgiana. However, both sound weird with Johanna. Charlotte Johanna works best imho.

shoobidoo · 01/06/2012 10:45

Love, love Johanna (pronounced Yo-hanna)! I'd choose that as first name. Otherwise Charlotte is nice too.

I don't really like any of your boys' names, I'm afraid.

LiteraryMermaid · 01/06/2012 13:26

Good list - though some of your names are a bit popular for my taste. I like Evan, Jonah and Violet.

SiioCal · 02/06/2012 19:10

Thanks for all the input MNersSmile

We have thrown a few more into the mix . I've decided I now like Willow . DH loves Clark . Any thoughts on these ?
