Love Ivo, and Isadora!

The meaning of Hector (bully, torment) would put me off, as would the lack of nicknames (Heck?).

MerryMingeWhingesAgain · 19/03/2013 09:57

Edgar and Maeve for me

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2013 09:57

I love all of them!

They all fit nicely with your other DC,and are all lovely in their own right.

I can't even choose a favourite,which is very unusual for me Grin

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2013 09:57

I like the NN Tor for Hector....but the meaning does put me off a bit.

pygmy · 19/03/2013 10:02

Yes, the verb hector puts me off a tad too. I think I would still use it though!
I don't think I'd use a nickname. Louis is always Louis; never Lou.

I would use Dora for Isadora by the way. Not keen on Izzy!

Edgar and greta are my favourites

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2013 10:05

Dora is much nicer than izzy,I agree.

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2013 10:05

Edgar is lovely,but I don't like Ed.

FriggFRIGG · 19/03/2013 10:08

On reflection I like Ivo and Greta best Grin

pygmy · 19/03/2013 10:11

Good choices :)

pygmy · 19/03/2013 10:11

I would pronounce it Eye-vo, not Eee-vo by the way!

Beatrixpotty · 19/03/2013 10:33

I like Ivo and Isadora

fertilityFTW · 19/03/2013 10:45

I think of Hector as in the Illiad - such a wonderful character!
Isadora is also lovely!

TenthMuse · 19/03/2013 12:18

These are great choices - like all of them, and all go with with your dcs. If I had to choose I'd go for Greta and Ivo.

NowPlayingZone · 19/03/2013 17:51

Edgar & maeve

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/03/2013 20:19

Hector

Maeve or Isadora both lovely but Maeve pips it for me.

Don't like Ivo or Ivy and Rose just seems to be a default add-on tbh.

pygmy · 19/03/2013 21:07

Ivy and Rose are our grandmothers' names; we'd very much like to honour them, so they are a must.

My dd's middle name is Greta. Gorgeous name.

Isadora or Greta, not keen on Rose or any of the boy names though, sorry.

mathanxiety · 20/03/2013 02:41

I think they are all really, really lovely.

My favourite boy's name is Ivo, just pipping Edgar and a little ahead of Hector.

For a girl, I love them all equally. (Sorry, no help).
