I love Lara best, then Claudia. I don't think you need to look further!

Not so keen on yours boys list. But possible alternative names- Elijah, Silas, Lucas, Harrison, Dylan.

They're all nice names. I like Eliza for a girl. My favourite from your boys' names is Arlo, but it has quite a similar sound in the middle to Scarlett (which is also lovely!). How about Elliot for a boy?

Legionofboom · 22/08/2014 12:08

I like all of your girl's list except Claudia which I really dislike.

Dexter is by far the best on your boy's list.

Both of your children have 'red head' names so I want to suggest Roisin, Ruby, Rowan and Rory.

My favourite from your girls list is Freya and from your boys list Curtis. :)

I like Lara and Claudia too. I especially like Claudia, especially with your surname. I like a bit of alliteration.

I'm not a huge fan of your boys names, I think Ellis is my favourite.

Lila - Quite like it but prefer Layla, Lyla and Lilia
Claudia - Quite like it. Very elegant. Seems very popular on here but I don't know any at all
Eliza - It's ok.
Lara - love it. Really pretty and unusual without being 'out there'
Freya - not keen on this but really not sure why. It's pretty
Laurel - not keen. I think Lara, Laura, Lauren and Lorna are much prettier.

Dexter - not overly keen but it sounds like a 'cool dude's' name!
Ellis - love it
Arlo - love it
Curtis - quite like it.

I would go for Lara and Arlo I think.

Sophronia · 22/08/2014 14:56

I like Lila, Eliza and Lara from your girls list, and Ellis goes best with the surname from the boys imho.

Superworm · 22/08/2014 15:00

Lara and Curtis - great names

pilates · 22/08/2014 18:06

Eliza and Dexter

EdithWeston · 22/08/2014 18:22

Lila- Ok
Claudia - don't like (mainly because two possible pronunciations would annoy me)
Eliza - lovely
Lara -ok
Freya - lovely
Laurel -Ok

Dexter -ok
Ellis - lovely
Arlo - not keen
Curtis - ok

I think Laurel is a beautiful name Smile

Rox19 · 22/08/2014 20:11

Love Lara and laurel!
Lila / misspelt similar type names are a bit rough round here so I'd avoid.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/08/2014 20:51

Love Claudia and Ellis.

Claudia is beautiful and string sounding. Laurel is gorgeous and unusual.

I'm a bug dan of Arlo, just tiles off the tongue, and I think a little Curtis would be an extremely funky dude (whilst still being sensible enough for adulthood).

birdofthenorth · 22/08/2014 22:08

Blinking heck, my typos! Sorry.

Big fan of Arlo. Just rolls off the tongue.

Not drunk, I promise.

mummybare · 22/08/2014 22:15

Like Eliza and Laurel and LOVE Dexter. They all go well with your other DCs' names and your surname too.

Although they're all quite nice names to be fair.

DramaAlpaca · 22/08/2014 22:20

To go with your other DC's names I like Lara best from your girls' list, and Arlo for a boy.

hlc123 · 24/08/2014 18:45

Thanks for the feedback

I like all your names,they're thoroughly charming

Lewismummy2202 · 25/08/2014 19:46

Lila/Claudia and Ellis are my favourites

HilariousInHindsight · 25/08/2014 19:51

Eliza for a girl and Dexter for a boy fits your other children's name really well.

Congratulations on dc3.
