What do you think please?
Seren Isabella or Isla Grace for a girl?
Felix James or Beau Alexander for a boy?
Thanks.

Seren and Beau get my vote.

I like all your girl names, although Grace is a bit of a filler name, IMO.

Felix I LOVE and the middle names are nice, but Beau is just awful. It would be like naming your child "Nice". It probably sounds French and exotic, but in France people would fall about laughing if we met someone called Beau.

Bo could be ok as a nickname for something longer (Boris?), but please don't saddle a child with Beau.

Seren is lovely, Isla is nice but very popular.
Felix is brilliant! Beau is not a name, truly awful.

Seren.

And I suppose Felix if I really had to pick one of the boys' names. Beau only works if you're some kind of old school Southern dude with a name like Beauregard Buford Lafayette III

Felix and Isla

Seren and Felix.

I know 3 little Isla's and hear it everywhere I go too. I love the name though.

Isla & Felix!

Seren and Felix.
I'm not a fan of Isla, and I don't think Beau is great for an adult

Seren and Felix 100%

The girls' names are both lovely imo. Prefer Seren. Neither of the boys' names are to my taste; in fact I think they are so awful that I can't choose. They are like names chosen by different people - are they?

Thanks so much everyone. We both love Isla, but you're right - it's very popular now. We're not Welsh but I love Seren & the meaning (star). I've always liked Beau, but maybe for a pet?! Husband not keen anyway, so the majority of you have confirmed that it'll be a no-go!! Looks like Felix might be a better choice of the two. Or perhaps have it as the middle name, so James Felix.

Felix and neither girls name.
Beau isn't a name.

VilootShesCute · 08/04/2017 17:11

Know a dog called Seren and a cat called Felix so the other two! Beau was one of my boy names but dh said no Sad

Singingforsanity · 09/04/2017 12:06

Seren and felix I really dislike beau though and Isla although lovely is quite popular

My thoughts exactly.

Seren is awful. Sorry. It's like Twinkle.
Beau is horrible.

BasicBetty · 10/04/2017 11:10
