Thoughts on our shortlists pls...

[starfish12]

Baby is due in 10 weeks so plenty of time to change my (indecisive) mind but our current shortlists are...

Eva - love this but is it too common?
Nancy - too common?
Roxy - cool or stripper like?!
Jeannie - oh not keen but I could work on him
middle name will be Rae

Sonny - does this work as an adult name?
Leo
Austin - would he get called Aussy?!
Middle name would be Patrick

Unleash your thoughts MN'ers....!!!

Jeannie definitely, especially as you seem to be worried about using a name that is too common.
Quite like Austin. I dont think boys get y nicknames as much, he's more likely to be Aus which I think is quite cool.

Love sonny and nancy. I have only met one of each. Also like Leo but it is quite popular here (SE).

I love Nancy but have heard of a few being born lately. It was originally short for Anne or Anna I think how about that? Jeannie is lovely I love Jean too (and Gene for a boy!) Austin and Leo are good, really don't like Sonny, doesn't sound like a real name to me sorry!

I'd say Nancy, but not sure about Nancy Rae as makes me think Nancy Regan. I like Roxy as a nn but not as a full name, and Jeannie is ok but again sounds like a nn to me. Eva is definitely very common so wouldn't have that.

For boys, I like Leo but think Austin sounds better with Patrick. Really dislike Sonny.

Roxy and Leo

Eva is the nicest & Sonny

I like all your boys names but I only like Jeannie. Roxy Rae is pretty atrocious. Sorry!
Jeannie is great though!

Eva Rea and Austin Patrick

Both gorgeous names

I only like Jeannie from your lists - but different strokes for different folks! Roxy Rae is truly hideous.

Congratulations on your imminent arrival.

Eva from the girls and I love Sonny and Leo

Leo is nice, and I like Leon too. Austin is nice too. Eva is the most classic of the girls' names. Ava would be good too. I don't really like Roxie, makes me think of people screaming at each other in Eastenders!

Goodness, totally missed both Roxy and Rae, dislike both of those. Rae just makes all of the names sound really "country" if you see what I mean. Even Jeannie which I like sounds dreadful as Jeannie Rae.

Roxy was the name of my dads dog when I was small so may be an influence but I think she sounds like a bit of a goer so I wouldn't do it!

Ha ha, oh thought up Roxy last night mind you he was a bit drunk! I know what you mean re Rae and it sounding a bit 'country'. We not hell bent on it but its more of a personal thing where a family member called rachel died and so wanted it to be in memory of her but dont like rachel hence rae...
Who would have thought picking a name would be so hard!!!

I like Eva, and Jeannie if it's a nickname (Jeanette?)

Leo and Austin both nice for a boy.

I like Nancy or Leo.

Eva and Leo

Nancy is lovely. It's on our "do we dare" list. Is it becoming common? I've never seen it mention on MN or in real life.

That's a lovely idea for remembering your relative, I think Rachel would be a lovely middle name so just a taste thing I suppose

Eva, nancy jeannie all nice. All boys names nice too.

My oh had a dd called Roxy. :-) and ds was going to be so sonny. Love love love it :-)

Has not had

LOVE Roxy Rae and Austin. Although all your names are really cool.
I know a cool Roxy (child) and a cool Rae (adult) so those names work well for me! I know an adult Austin too.

And dd2 was nearly Jeannie!!

That would be

I love Eva and Leo

I like nancy and Austin.
