Namechanged so I can use my DCs names.
Pregnant with twins we have chosen not to find out the sex but they are identical so it's either boys or girls.
With our older DCs we had a short list of about 5 names we liked and we chose from them when the baby was born. But we knew the sex for them so it was easier plus we used family names so the choice was easier.
We are finding it hard to get two names we agree on that fit with our other two DCS and middle names are even harder.
The names can't sound like they rhyme but we do want them to work together and flow nicely.
Our other DCs are called Madison Grace and Harry Elliot
So try and find us names please

Dominic and Samuel
Anna and Tess
I know you said no J names but I like Anna and Juliet the best. I think you could get away with a bit of alliteration.

Is Madison known as Maddie? I think if she is, you already have 2 names ending in an "ee" sound so I'd steer clear of anything like Lucy, Toby, Sophie etc or anything that can be shortened to an "ee" sound like Danny / Izzy / Ellie / Katie.

I like Anna & Kate, Emma & Olivia, Laura & Grace.

Ben & Tom, Finn & George, Will & Luke? Maybe not Will if you already have a Harry though.

DH is already against William or any other royal name.
He won't have Rufus or Toby because he called his dogs that.
We can't have Lucy or Sophie or flynn as we already know those
I like loads of these though DH is the pickier one.
Keep them coming

Your OH can't really be against royal names if you have a Harry?! I love the name Harry!

marical · 30/09/2014 20:34

I was thinking that about Harry, Leeds2. Also Grace is a royal name

I am not against royal names (obviously) though we chose Harry as it is a relatives name.
But DH knows someone who has two DCs with very obvious popular royal names and one DC who has a non royal name and apparently it sounds wired
Hmm
But Grace doesn't count because it's a middle name and its not a popular one like Elizabeth would be

I love Reuben and Lucas and Zachary and Leo
I love Clara but DH won't have it because it's the name of the companion in Doctor who.
I love zara and willow but zara will be a popular royal name.
