Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

I already have a son Adam James from a previous relationship, but now me and my hubby have found out we're going to have another baby!!!! We're keeping the gender a surprise, but here's a few names we like, honest opinions please, but no rudeness needed thanks :)

Boys
Kason Bailey

Dontaye Ryan "Donny"

Sonny Levi

Girls
Akeelah Henrietta "Keely"

Ember Imogen Rose

Jaianna Bonnie Marie "Anna"

Shayah Rosanna Amelia

I love your existing Adam James.

But am really struggling to like any of your suggestions here. I'm sorry!

At an absolute push the one which has the nn Anna.

But none of the boys.

I am not sure about any of your boys names. I like Imogen, Rose, Amelia, Anna, Marie. Ember could grow on me.
Dont think any of your first name suggestions "go" with Adam which is much more traditional (and more to my taste), but I know not everyone minds about names going together.

As an aside, I always find it a bit strange when the middle name option is completely different depending on the first name, eg why not Ember Henrietta or Kason Levi.

I like Dontaye Ryan 'Donny' and Ember Imogen Rose and I also quite like Akeelah, I have never heard this name before and think it could grow on me.

tacal · 22/08/2013 13:58

forgot to say I really like keely as a nn

anothernamechangerreally · 22/08/2013 13:59

Not keen on any of then I'm afraid! Blush

Agree with PP that none if then seen to 'go' with your ds's name.

anothernamechangerreally · 22/08/2013 14:00

Gah, bloody iPhone...

CassieAndKez · 22/08/2013 14:00

Tacal you've managed to pick both my fav names, Donny and Ember, great minds think alike ;)

I'm the same as everyone else I'm afraid - like Adam James but not keen on any of the others. Ember Imogen Rose is OK, but I imagine it would constantly be mistaken for Amber.

Onesleeptillwembley · 22/08/2013 14:08

Are you American? They're a bit ghetto and a bit trailer park. In fact they're so bad I'm guessing this is a wind up.

Choccyhobnob · 22/08/2013 15:06

I don't like any of the boys names but like Ember for a girl! Or I think you should just use Keely (as it's my name and for once someone hasn't spelt it with that bloody extra e before the y!) haha x

Choccyhobnob · 22/08/2013 15:07

Also my dh name is Adam so I know the names fit together well! Grin

kissmyshineymetalass · 22/08/2013 15:14

I like Dontaye but not NN donny,I love Levi and out of your girls I like Akeela but not keely

kissmyshineymetalass · 22/08/2013 15:15

Akeelah sorry

Choccyhobnob · 22/08/2013 15:16

Boo to you shineymetalass

kissmyshineymetalass · 22/08/2013 15:20

Sorry Blush you probably wouldn't like my name though nobody does Sad

Choccyhobnob · 22/08/2013 15:23

Ahhh is it Ethel?

noodlebum · 22/08/2013 15:25

I like Ember for a girl, not sure about any of the other names sorry.

kissmyshineymetalass · 22/08/2013 15:32

Lol no it's not Ethel

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 22/08/2013 16:17

Sonny is the only boys name that is not awful.
The girls middle names are nice.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 24/08/2013 12:03

Ember Imogen rose is the only name I come close to liking on your list - sorry

JazzAnnNonMouse · 24/08/2013 12:06

If it helps I like all of the middle names!
Nearly all of the first names make me go Confused

Queazy · 24/08/2013 13:28

I'm afraid I don't remotely like any of them either - hope I'm not being harsh, but I wonder if they'll think Adam got off lightly as that's a lovely name. Different strokes tho etc x

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/08/2013 18:06

Adam James is lovely. These are not. Sorry.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/08/2013 18:07

Imogen Ember Rose (this way around) works nicely.

NannyR · 24/08/2013 18:57

Dante rather than Dontaye isn't bad.
