The surname is short and unusual - it needs a strong name to balance it. Third sylabel (sorry about the spelling!) seems to work best but they can be trickier to find. We don't mind something a bit different but also love the older names.

If a boy -
Douglas
Sebastian
Luca
Finn
Gabriel

If a girl -
Amalie
Louisa
Kate
Anna
Linnet
Lorelei

Finn and Anna

Cecelia is lovely and also really like Claudia as suggested above

I also like Anna and most of your other girls choices except Lorelei Shock

Sebastian or Gabriel for a boy

Love love love Linnet. Also Gabriel. They go well together. (Lucy M Boston fan?)

Also like Anna and Luca a lot. Not keen on Lorelei (reminds me if the dippy blonde in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, wasn't she Lorelei?) but others are all nice too.

Finn, Gabriel, Anna and Lorelei I like most.

GlaikitFizzog · 26/09/2013 07:16

Love Blythe

Gabriel & Anna (I am biased, I have one of them and the other was on a shortlist Smile )

I am also like name Luka and Amalie for boy or girl. Both names are very cute and sounds very well.

Love Douglas. The rest of your boys names feel a bit popular and not keen on Gabriel.

Love Anna out of your girls names. Linnea is another one which is similar to your list and pretty.
