Serena / phoebe

What about tobias (Toby) / jessen

TheFillyjonk · 27/08/2013 02:06

Phoebe and Elliott.

DalekInAFestiveJumper · 27/08/2013 03:58

Phoebe and Elliott, although TBH, I like all of your boys names!

It's not "thick" to pronounce Lucia with an "s" sound - that is how it is pronounced in Sweden.

Phoebe and Henry would be my top choices. Both sound lovely with Lucia, however it is pronounced!

Layl77 · 27/08/2013 06:48

Lucia in Spanish is pronounced loo-see-a so you would be "a bit dim" to think there's only one way of pronouncing a name.
I like annabel and Henry/Elliot

Thanks for the replies.

I'm afraid I must be a bit dim then because I do pronounce it loo-see-ahWink, I toyed with the idea of going for loo-chee-ah as it is lovely but I thought that with an English accent loo-see-ah comes more naturally.

It looks like Phoebe and Annabelle are the front runners for girls and Elliott and Henry for boys.

I love Henry but do worry that it is very popular. My DH loves Edison but I'm yet to get one vote for that-what do you think of it?

Thanks also for the suggestions I do like Tobias but a good friend of mine has a DS called that so it's a no go!

Serena and Jude.

Definitely.

MortifiedAdams · 27/08/2013 10:19

Phoebe and Elliott

I always thought it was pronounce Loo-Sha.

BlueStarsAtNight · 27/08/2013 10:45

I like Phoebe from the girls.

For boys, I like Henry, Elliot and Edison :)

LauraChant · 27/08/2013 10:46

Phoebe or Serena and Henry

EnjoyEverySandwich · 27/08/2013 11:23

Serena
Henry

MintyDiamonds · 27/08/2013 11:29

I know a Lucia who is Spanish and its pronounced Loo-see-ah, never heard it pronounced the other way. My favourites are sienna or serena, don't like the name phoebe . For the boys I like Jude not keen on the others.

HighJinx · 27/08/2013 11:37

I like Serena and Jude.

I think your DH's love of Edison should hold more sway than a poll on MN though Wink

littlemog · 27/08/2013 12:23

Each to their own! Loo-chee-a is far more beautiful a name than Loo-see-a though!

ZolaBuddleia · 27/08/2013 13:35

Sienna or Phoebe
Jude or Edison

MadameJosephine · 27/08/2013 13:42

Phoebe and Edison

MadameJosephine · 27/08/2013 13:43

In totally with your DH on Edison, love it but DP vetoed it along with Darwin which I also loved. Luckily we had a girl so I forgave him

MadameJosephine · 27/08/2013 13:44

*I'm

absentmindeddooooodles · 27/08/2013 13:48

I have a jude. Love the name and always getting compliments. Also a family membr called phoebe. Same goes. Gorgeous names.
Serena and henry as second choices :-)

noodlebum · 27/08/2013 14:03

I like Phoebe, Sienna and Elliott best. All of them are nice enough though!

BikeRunSki · 27/08/2013 14:04

Phoebe and Jude

SadPander · 27/08/2013 20:58

Pheobe is lovely and the only one of your girls names I like, for a boy and either Elliot or Jude, although Henry is also quite nice.

Alisvolatpropiis · 27/08/2013 21:00

Serena
Henry.

littlemog · 27/08/2013 21:00

Jude is a great name but does have the depressing Thomas Hardy connection!

I still love it though!
