Which ones?

[Ricecreespees]

Pregnant with dc3 and not finding out about the gender! So here's the shortlist for each sex, just wondering which are your favourites and honest opinions? We have Emilia and Rafe already

Girls:
Carly
Elodie
Ava
Bella

Boys:
Leo
Ezra
Finn

There are 4 Ava's in dd's class at school ( she's 5 ) it's very common.
Carly does not go with the other dc names you already have.
Ezra I don't like, Leo is lovely. Finn I'm on the fence over. Belle is nice but don't like Bella, I also like Theo, Oliver and I love Oscar, that would be the boy name for me.
Girls names? So hard as there are so many nice ones. I love Lucy and Lola and that's about it- sorry not much help but I do think baby names are such a personal decision.

I met a lady today who had a 9 month ds called Lucas and said she doesn't like his name, I assumed dh/dp had chosen it and it was in fact he that didn't like it before the birth and the lady loved it

That's a bit weird trapped why would you go around saying that...just go and bloody change it or not choose it in the first place

I think Finn goes best with your other children's names. I used to work with an Elodie who spent half her life explaining to people that her name was not Melody.
I'm not keen on Carly. What about Cora? The Emilia I know has a sister called Juliette and a brother called Theo.

I like Ava or Elodie & Leo or Finn with your other DC's names.

Ava or Leo

Not Carly

Love Ezra. Elodie and Carly are my favourite on the girl list. I am surprised I like Carly...don't know why!

Emilia Rafe and Bella
Emilia Rafe and Finn

At the moment I seem to like Carly for some unknown reason must be pregnancy hormones
Do people think we shouldn't choose it with an Emilia and a Rafe already?

Definitely not. Carly is just not as nice. Cara however is totally different and would be good.

Bella and Finn out of your lists

Carly is very dated.

Love Ezra.

If your girls names Elodie is best but I prefer Eloise.

Yes I like Eloise too whatthe but we can't use it because my "friend" is a right pain and it's DH's mums name.

Actually just had a thought, what about Carla with a nickname Carly and then when she's a bit older it's back to Carla as its a bit more mature and people might like it more?

Oh dear, you're very stuck on Carly aren't you? I just think it sounds horrible. Ditto Carla, tbh!

I have to agree with Jink: Carla, Carly etc sound harsh to my ear and are dated.

But names are such a personal thing. If you love the name then go with it. I bet you would hate some of the names I love. There is no "right" name hat everyone will feel the same about.

I think you have good taste in names! (Except for Carly, lol)

Boys:
Leo - our current top choice for our soon-to-be-born DS
Ezra - WAS out top choice previously, but people in our country can't pronounce it so we had to ditch it.
Finn - Was very high on our list, but we prefer two syllables to one

Girls:
Elodie - Nice, a bit different.
Ava - Really nice.
Bella - Okay
Carly - horrible (sorry!)

I don't like Carly or Elodie at all, but really like all of your other names. Elodie seems to be becoming increasingly popular too.

For a girl I'd go with Ava and for a boy i'd go with Leo.

Carly
Finn

Why not Caroline nick name Carly.
Elodie is nice too.
Finn still the best of your boy choice
