My FINAL list,boys and girls...it's the last one-promise.

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

In no particular order...


GIRLS:

Flora
Juniper
Clementine
Orietta
Ivy
Dulcie


BOYS:


Zephyr
Caspar
Ruis (roo-ish,meaning-elder tree-associated with winter solstice)
Asa
Otis


Im well aware most of them are quite marmite...but we like them.
Siblings are Skye & Arlo, surname is P e r r y-G e o r g e.



Pick your favourites please!

[Kikibee]

Not flora, spreads easily......

[elskovs]

I know what you mean squoosh. But I think Clementine goes with Skye and Arlo. It sort of "lifts" them. Not that theres anything wrong with them, but it balances them so that they are not too trendy as a set. I think Zephyr would have the opposite effect and the 3 names would sound very modern together.

I have a very similar problem with number 3 expected any day. Am watching this thread cos I have a similar naming style.

[InfiniteJest]

What does your DP think of Juniper? It's the one you seem to keep coming back to. You could have Juniper Clementine?

Zephyr is your and your DP's top pick for a boy, right? So you can stop agonising over that decision

[ChippingInLovesAutumn]

I thought Zephyr was set in stone and we'd almost sorted the middle name??

I have reached the point where this has become a perfectly lovely choice for either a boy or a girl. Has your DH turned to drink yet??



Just in case you refuse to take my brilliant advice above... Clementine does not go with Skye & Arlo - it belongs in the fruit aisle with tangerine and satsuma and is far too snotty to go with S&A. Though given your other name choices for a girl, I'm hoping you have a boy

[Rtfairy]

Ivy and Caspar

[MissingMyMarbles]

Flora and Asa

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Yes,Zephyr is our top choice. It does need a Middle or two though...


Girls, Juniper is now my absolute favourite,Flora is DP's.
Ivy is still on the list but only as a MN.


Chip don't be a meany,my girls names are lovely

[JemR234]

Ivy and Caspar. I do like Otis but it's too similar to Arlo IMO.

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

DP has just said he really likes Juniper as a first name


So we have our top two,and two back up's!


Juniper Zephyr
Flora. Caspar

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

MN rearranged my post and now it looks weird...I meant


Juniper or Flora


Zephyr or Caspar

[Artandco]

Do you need a middle name? If so:

Flora clementine

Otis Zephyr

[ChippingInLovesAutumn]

[ChippingInLovesAutumn]

One question please say yes this is your last baby isn't it?

[cloggal]

Zephyr Otis!!

Definitely Flora, or Juniper with a nn that's usually used (Juno!) :)

Flora Clementine?

[cloggal]

Sorry X post!

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Yes yes Chipping tis the last baby

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

I like Zephyr Otis Cloggal

[milk]

My 2 favourite for each:

GIRLS:

Clementine
Ivy


BOYS:

Caspar
Ruis (roo-ish,meaning-elder tree-associated with winter solstice)

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

I really want to keep Ruis in there as a MN I think...I love the meaning.

Zephyr Ruis?
Or does it need another name in between them to stop them blending together?

Juniper Ivy
Juniper Flora
Juniper Paccia (Pash-ee-a meaning peace)
Juniper Mabel

[cloggal]

Paccia makes Juniper and your surname very 'peter piper picked...'. Love Mabel as a mn (and actually as a name altogether but don't want to put the at amongst the pigeons!)

Agree Zephyr Ruis blends, and Zephyr Otis Ruis makes the two mn's too similar-

What about
Zephyr Asa Ruis
Zephyr Milo Ruis
Zephyr Caspar Ruis

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Zephyr Asa Ruis and Zephyr Caspar Ruis are both fab!


You're right about Paccia,I hadn't thought...another one off the list is good,though!

[Artandco]

What about juniper acacia ?

[BoreOfWhabylon]

No no no to Zephyr or Caspar. They make me feel funny for some inexplicable reason.

Clementine also makes me feel funny, but that is because, in my mind, it would be shortened to 'Clem', which makes me think of 'phlegm'.

I realise I may be the only one who thinks like this

[BoreOfWhabylon]

Juniper immediately makes me think of the smell of gin. Imagine a little gin-smelling baby!

No no no

Flora smells of margarine. Again, just no.
