Elimination Poll- Pick your favourite and why!

[andiesays]

I have two children, Theresa Lily and Johanna Sky. They are mainly known as Tess and Johnnie or Tessie and Jojo. Reasons for their names: Theresa we thought was just beautiful and whilst Lily clashes me with our -ly surname, it was too beautiful to pass off and Johanna was actually named for my grandfather, whose name is Johnny. Sky was chosen by my mother in law. We are now having twins! I know that twins are treated with high levels of suspicion on MN (always amusing to me as we are very much a 'twin' family) but I can promise you my terrors are real. We're having an elimination poll.
So:
Oliver Judson and Maxim Leopold (Ollie and Max)
OR
Rafferty Quinn and Evander Simon (Raffy and Evan)
AND
Sebastian Alec and Louisa Tulip (Seb and Louie/Seb and Lulu)
OR
Nicholas Alec and Arabella Saffron (Nick and Ara/Cole and Bella)

We are definitely having one boy which we are thrilled about but the other baby is hiding. So, I know we have lots of different names but I can't really let go of any of them and they all have very specific meanings to me so I'd rather see what people who don't see the emotional connections think and then choose.

I think Raffety and evander together go well with the siblings names

Don't like Evan or Simon though

You like nicknames and contractions though don't you why not put the actual names you're going to call them on the birth certificate

Ollie & Max - nice sturdy cheeky boy names. And congratulations to you all

My favourites are Seb, Ollie (it is v popular though) and Nicholas. And Saffron out of the girls.

Oliver and Maxim

Nicholas and Arabella

I don't like Rafferty at all, and I prefer Arabella to Louisa.

Thank you lovelies!! I suppose I just like having the ability to screech out a variation of names in the street!

I like Rafferty and Sebastian (with any of your middle names) and Louisa Saffron (but not Arabella or Tulip).

You have my DCs first and middle name combination on there! It's fabulous!

I love max, Louisa (lulu is a lovely nickname), raffy and Seb. I think Seb and max go really well together and Seb and lulu- we have very similar taste!

Rafferty Quinn and Evander Simon, very nice, though not keen on Evan.
Sebastian Alec and Louisa Tulip. Just love Louisa Tulip ! 😄

Oliver and Maxim

Nicholas and Arabella

Yay glad someone likes Louisa Tulip!
@albazavi can you drop me a message and tell me what it is?! Feel curious! If you don't want to it is fine of course.
Thank you all.

Just Evan is much nicer than Evander. For two boys I would pick Rafferty and Evan.

For a boy & girl I like either one of the two boys names above or Sebastian with Louisa Saffron. Or Saffron Louisa.

I'm a huge fan of flower names (not popular on MN I know) but even I would be a bit reluctant to use Tulip!

@andiesays - I would but I can't work out how to on the app. You might be able to work out by the one I mention more than once!

They're all handsome and elegant names. Tulip is a fab middle as well- I personally think Louisa is such an underrated classic with so many pretty nicknames. I'd have it for next child if I had a girl in a heartbeat! Whereas Arabella seems to be much more flowery and doesn't sit well with your other names.

It's easier to say which I don't like

Evander because of the awful Evander Holyfield

Louisa - I just don't like it

Sebastian - I feel like every baby I meet is called Sebastian

Aha @albazavi I've got it. It is a beautiful name isn't it! I think Louisa is just gorgeous too. Oh it is a difficult game.
Thank you for all comments!

Sebastian Alec and Louisa Tulip.
No reason really. They're just the nicest

Can't I choose Sebastian and Nicholas?

And Nicholas and Louisa. Louisa is beautiful and fits perfectly with your other girls

Louisa goes with your other names.

I like Oliver and Max too (not Maxim.)

Like Ollie and Max (and love Leo), but not keen on Maxim
Really don't like Evander- is that even a name?
Seb and Lulu I really like!
Not overly keen on the last set either but they are okay

I love Max (I have a Max) and with it I'd go Louie or Ollie.
For a girl I like Bella.

Although my DC are all named (and dedicated) the shortened version of longer names so I'm probably not the best to give an opinion
