We are early on in pregnancy, so still thinking about names. Any opinion/favourites on the following? In rough order of my preference.

For a DD
Abigail
Meredith
Rosaline
Serenity

For a DS
James
Alexander
Isaac (DH not keen)
Theo

They are all nice, would steer away from serenity though, when she is having a temper tantrum the irony will be too much to bear.

I would avoid Rosaline due to pronunciation issues ("leen" vs "line"?). My pick from your lists would be Abigail and James.

Meredith & Alexander

Meredith
Isaac

Meredith and Alexander.

BabyMummy29 · 03/01/2014 13:24

Any of them, apart from Serenity. It makes me think of American beauty pageant contestants,

Abigail and James

MrsBungle · 03/01/2014 13:29

Meredith and theo or James

NickNacks · 03/01/2014 13:31

Abigail and James

HollyBen · 03/01/2014 13:31

Abigail and James for me. Though I am not keen on most of the diminutive forms of James

MyNameIsKenAdams · 03/01/2014 13:31

Abigail and Alexander

Abigail/Meredith and James/Alexander are joint favourites with me at the moment. We'll just have to see what DC looks like when they arrive. Middle names will probably be a family name.

I don't like any of your girl's name so suggest Seren rather than Serenity.

James is the nicest boy's name followed by Alexander, then Theo but don't like Isaac.

SpicedTeaAndXmasCakeOrDeath · 03/01/2014 13:51

Meredith (nn Merry) and Alexander (nn Xander) would be my favorites

CarriMarie · 03/01/2014 13:57

Abigail and Isaac.

UriGeller · 03/01/2014 13:59

Rosaline and Alexander although I like Rosa better

MarianneBrandon · 03/01/2014 15:59

Abigail and James

ExcuseTypos · 03/01/2014 16:01

Abigail and Isaac.

ToffeeJungle · 03/01/2014 17:45

Abigail and Isaac.

I like Rosa but not so keen on Rosaline.

Alex for a boy is cool; like James but would hate the nn Jim!

EasyCompadre · 03/01/2014 17:53

Meredith and Isaac.

permaquandry · 03/01/2014 17:54

Abigail and James, good luck!

Volume121 · 03/01/2014 17:55

Like them all except for Serenity

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/01/2014 17:57

Really like Meredith. Hate Serenity.

James is my favourite for a boy, followed by Isaac.

MadameJosephine · 03/01/2014 19:54

Love James, just as well because I have one!

Rosaline would be my favourite of your girls names but I prefer the Rosalyn spelling

DiamondsAndRust · 03/01/2014 20:12

Meredith (lovely name) and Isaac or Alexander. Strongly dislike Serenity.
