[MyBreadIsEggy]

DC2 - we don't know the sex yet.
So far we have:

Boys:

• Harry
  
• Stanley
  
• Roman
  
• Kit
  
• Declan
  
• Bohdi
  
• Lochlan
  

Girls:

• Ivy
  
• Raven
  
• April
  
• Fallon
  
• Phoebe
  
• Autumn
  
• Imogen
  
• Mila
  

Both DH and I are really bad at this naming game!!
Opinions on our lists please??

[Tricerasaurus]

To my ear Bohdi is a dated surfer's name used by wannabe spiritual stoners, but that just my associations with Point Break. You have good associations and reasons to use it. None of your other boy's names seem to reflect the baby's heritage at all and I think that's a shame as I like a name with links to the family. So actually I would go with Bohdi in your circumstances.

I love Ivy and Mila from you girls' list. As you are Polish is go with Mila.

[ohtheholidays]

I love Bohdi and declan.
With the girls any Imogen I've ever known has always been lovely.

[voodoolooloo]

Get rid of all except Bohdi and Autumn. Easy lol
Personally I don't like Bohdi but it seems ( to me) to be your favourite.
The others are a bit meh. Except Raven, which is lovely.. For a teenage goth full of angst who changes their name to it.

[Artandco]

Stanley or Roman

Ivy

[Allalonenow]

Get rid of
Harry Stanley Kit (unless as a nn for Christopher) Bohdi
Ivy April Raven Fallon Autumn Mila

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Harry. (It's a nice name as far as being nice goes, but it's over used and boring)
Declan. Not keen, but it's a nice name.
Roman. No
Stanley. Too old man(y). And not it a cutsey way.
Kit. I like it as nn for Christopher
Bohdi. No.
Lachlan. I love it.

Raven. How likely is it that she'll have raven hair, because. It's sound daft on a child with platinum hair. Also Ravin's lunartic. Hmm too risky. Me thinks.
Fallon. Is lovely unique and fresh.
April. No it's far too overused. It's becoming like Ava Eva and Lily-Mae, plus. I think it would only work on someone born or concieved in April, but some people don't give a shiny shit about popularity or name suitability.
Ivy. Nice sweet elegant and pretty
Mila Not to my taste
Autumn. No it's terrible
Phoebe. Yes
Imogen At the moment "No", but if ask me in 10 mins. I'd Probably say "Yes". I tend to blow hot and cold with this name for some reason

[LadyAntonella]

There are a lot of Harry's but I think they tend to be older children, not so many babies. Though, it was very popular recently enough that people still think of it as a well used name iyswim. I wouldn't like to use it for that reason but again that's my personal taste.

[Racheyg]

Far to many Harry's
I like Stanley or bodhi

For girls
Ivy and fallon

[IoraRua]

Harry - meh, nothing wrong with it per se but meh
Stanley - can't stand, awful old man bame
Roman - Polanski. Nope.
Kit - meh
Declan - very unusual for his age group. I like it.
Lachlan - I like
Bodhi - a nice name and as you have a Thai dh I would use.

Ivy - I like
Raven - I think you need a certain personality to suit Raven. It's a name that you change your name to, rather than are given imo.
Fallon - ugh, no. Fall On.
April - very pretty
Phoebe - MN has ruined this one on me. Generally pretty but I think you have nicer options.
Autumn - nice enough
Imogen - nice but a bit... blah
Mila - nice but not particularly memorable

[Dogolphin]

You could divide your lists into first names and middle names, might help narrow it down a bit.

First:

• Harry
  
• Kit
  
• Declan
  

Second

• Bohdi
  
• Lochlan
  
• Stanley
  
• Roman
  

First:

• Phoebe
  
• Autumn
  
• Imogen
  
• Raven
  
• April
  

Second:

• Ivy
  
• Fallon
  
• Mila

[Vixxfacee]

Roman and Mila

[Bringmewineandcake]

I love Autumn!!! Please don't let the fact that she'd be born in the autumn season put you off, DH has vetoed it for DD2 because she'll be a summer baby and he thinks it would be really silly to call a June baby Autumn!

[MumOnACornishFarm]

Congratulations OP! Kit (not Christopher) is on my boys shortlist, too. I love it! I would shortlist as follows:

1. Kit
   
2. Stanley, I love old fashioned names.
   

Sorry, I don't like any of the others. I love the sentiment of bodhi, my father is buddhist, but I wouldn't chose it as a name. Spelling is an issue, and it might just be difficult to bear. Roman is by far my least favourite and sounds pretentious. Harry is lively but there are gazillions of them, perhaps good for a middle name though.

1. Fallon. Lovely, unusual but not weird, strong sounding.
   
2. April. I've always liked this name. The best of the 'month' names IMO.
   
3. Autumn. Yes it is a bit American, but I still love it. It was on my long list.
   
4. Mila
   

Imogen and Phoebe are nice, but 10 a penny. Ivy is a close runner-up to Mila, but again not uncommon. Raven is awful, sorry, and possibly a bit of a mean thing to do to a child IMO.

[stiffstink]

Bodhi makes me think of Point Break (Johnny Utaaaaaaah!) but in my view that is no bad thing. It was a great film.

The name actually has meaning to you and makes sense given the Thai heritage. I love it.



And I also love Raven.

[HangingRockPicnic]

Ivy, April, Autumn and Mila
Roman

[MyBreadIsEggy]

I do love it.....but I love Harry, Declan and Kit too!!

[LadyAntonella]

if you love* Bodhi...

[LadyAntonella]

If you live Bodhi just use it ffs! Job done, list shortened!

Don't be , you asked for help eliminating names and people are eliminating them based on their personal taste - not yours. The fact you're sad to eliminate Bodhi might mean it's 'the one'...

[georgetteheyersbonnet]

Go for

Boy: Kit or Bodhi

Girl: Autumn or Mila

[KingAlbert]

My personal opinion in order of preference:
Harry
Declan
Roman
Stanley
Kit
Bohdi
Lochlan

Although I like the meaning behind Bohdi and think it would work well for your family

Imogen
April
Ivy
Phoebe
Raven
Mila
Autumn
Fallon (?)

Although Autumn and April seem like names you'd give if they were born at that time of year?

[MyBreadIsEggy]

at yelling the names in a supermarket

[RaeSkywalker]

Boys:

• Harry (really common round here though so I do think it's a bit 'boring')
  
• Stanley
  
• Christopher (nn Kit)
  

Girls:

• Ivy
  
• Imogen

[Nannawifeofbaldr]

Bodhi makes people of a certain age think of Patrick Swayze's character on Point Break I think.

If you have a Thai DH I think it would be fine.

My top tip is to go to a park/supermarket/busy street and try yelling the names...

[BlueDove]

Harry and Ivy

[MyBreadIsEggy]

Loads of people have the spelling problem though....I do. My parents gave me a Polish name with waaaaay too many consonants
