Due in 7 weeks with surprise baby no.3.

We cannot agree on names.

Girls - Mila, Willow, Grace

Boys - Jack, Alexander or Alex, Luca, Charlie

I like Mila for girl and Charlie for boy, would Charlie be ok with James either double barrelled or as middle name?

Charlie James is a premiership footballer so as much as I like both names (I've used James as a middle name and only just didn't use Charlie as a first name) I don't like them together.

All your boy names are great but no need for double-barrelling. Use more middle names if you can't choose!

Grace has been hugely popular for ten to fifteen years, especially as a middle name. Willow also popular but nowhere near as much. Both names are very descriptive - what if Grace is clumsy or Willow is sturdy?

I think Mila is very pretty but might be mistaken for Mia or even Milan. Would that annoy you or are you easy going?

What kind of names did you use or nearly use for your other children?

All three girls names are lovely. Mila stood out for me but is that MY-la or ME-la?

I prefer Alex(ander) for a boy, but that's just me! I wouldn't double-barrel the name, just have the other name as a middle name.

I hope all's going well for you Smile

Charlie James would be fine. I like Jack Charlie.
From your list, I like Grace.

Mila or Charlie, can't lose, great names, and certainly Charlie works with James.

Mila is beautiful.

I like Grace as a first name, as it more often seems to be a middle name. Willow is also lovely. Mya/Mia/Maya/Millie type names are popular at the moment so I'd be less inclined to go for Mila.
