Honest opinions please!!

[zippyswife]

Due after Christmas and I don't seem to have a clue with names this round.

This is the shortlist. I'm open to honest opinions and ideas (you can see from the list I don't really have a type other than I'm not keen on anything cutesy!)

Thanks!

Girls:
Verity
Elizabeth
Anna
Indigo (still my favourite but is it even a name?! And is it too pretentious?!!)

Boys;
Kit
Heath
Oran
Rex
Jude
Ralph (pronounced rafe.. In theory)
Elliott

If you could stick a middle name on them too even better!!!!

I've never heard the name lago!

Iago in Othello, the schemer, the villain. Also a Disney character and a footballer.

I really dislike Indigo and it's connotations about the so called Indigo child.
I like the other girl choices.

Finding it hard to say about the boys' names with knowing the type of surname you have.

I'd probably go for Kit or Rex with a middle name that flowed well and didn't give embarrassing initials.

Personally I hate this trend for choosing a child's nickname before birth, unless you mean a short form? Nicknames should evolve according to the child's personality and be unique to that person once they develop a bit of personality.

IoraRua come again? the Andrex puppy is not called Rex & I've just done a quick google search?! OP go for it!

Jemima, the company name is Andrex!! Hence me mentally linking it to Rex. It is one of the things that comes straight to mind when I hear that name.

I'm not seeing how Indigo could be confused for Iago. And I know about the Shakespeare play.

Aside from anything else, I would guess that Indigo is a more popular name than Iago.

Totally agree jemimastar very well put

Anna and Jude my faves, really can't go wrong with these gorgeous names.

Good luck zippyswife and go with your heart.

Verity or Elliot.

Iora, so do you also link the names Andreas to the puppies/dogs? Probs not, but this has more of the same and sounds more similar than Rex does.

Not sure how imagining a beautiful puppy is such a bad link to a boys name anyway?!

OP- I also adore Rex and like Anna best from your girls list.
