Stuck on names???????????

Boys:
Milo
Rufus
Reuben
Gabriel

Girls:
Claudia

Thats it really - I like the boys names (except Rufus that much) but we can only agree on one girls name. Don't want anything to flowery as DCs have quite strong names and DDs name is not overtly feminine.

Any ideas would be gratefully received - need to be more than one syllable (sp?) as surname is boring and one syllable.

Many thanks

I like all your names. My favourites of your boys' ones are probably Gabriel then Rufus.

If you like Claudia, how about:
Celia/ Cecily (my absolute favourite, no DDs to give it to though!)
Alice
Rosalind
Livia
Rachel

Any of these along the right lines?

Madamecastafiore · 24/06/2013 16:22

I like Cecily as quite like Cece/Cici as a nn.

Yes and I think it goes well with a one-syllable surname. Or Cecelia of course.

Madamecastafiore · 24/06/2013 16:48

Like Gabriel out of your boys names. Claudia is lovely too.

How about:

He wants Milo for a boy but I prefer Gabriel.
