So our little boy or girl is due this coming week. Have narrowed our list to two girls names and two boys names. Would love to know which you would pick for a girl and a boy:

Elodie Maria
Evelyn Lyra
Benjamin Thomas
Oscar Nathaniel

Thank you!!

Evelyn or Benjamin.

I'd wait and see which fits best when little one arrives!

ProseccoPoppy · 25/10/2017 22:49

Ooh nice! For a girl I definitely prefer Elodie Maria, that's lovely. Also no pronunciation difficulties (which you would have with Evelyn). For a boy I like Oscar very much.

I love Lyra, but I don't like that repeated ly in Evelyn Lyra.

I would go with Elodie Lyra (or Maria), and Oscar Nathaniel. I would pick Benjamin but I don't like Ben. If you do, go for it.

Evelyn or Benjamin.

I'd go for Evelyn Maria personally as it flows better than Evelyn Lyra.

KeiraC · 25/10/2017 23:00

Evelyn and Oscar

BewareOfTheToddler · 25/10/2017 23:02

Elodie (would be lovely with either Lyra or Maria, think Lyra might actually go better).

Oscar Nathaniel for a boy - love it!

But I like all your names, apart from Evelyn which is just not for me Grin

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/10/2017 23:13

Elodie Maria
Benjamin , but Ben Thomas

Dusktilldawn · 25/10/2017 23:15

Elodie and Benjamin

TheChristmasFaery · 25/10/2017 23:16

Lyra
Oscar

Orangebird69 · 25/10/2017 23:19

Benjamin Thomas for a boy.

Don't like either of the girls names.

Smoliver · 25/10/2017 23:25

Elodie Maria and Benjamin Thomas are my choices. Also, I quite like the sound of Elodie Lyra.

FreeFrie · 25/10/2017 23:28

Definitely Elodie and probably Oscar

SuperBeagle · 25/10/2017 23:38

Elodie Maria or Benjamin Thomas.

Sophronia · 26/10/2017 00:09

Benjamin Thomas. Don’t like Elodie or Evelyn, but I do like Maria.

SleepingStandingUp · 26/10/2017 00:10

Elodie or Scar

Mum8 · 26/10/2017 03:45

Elodie or Benjamin

ChocolateCrunch · 26/10/2017 07:39

Elodie or Benjamin

Quite like Oscar, but not so much Evelyn, sorry

PandaCat · 26/10/2017 07:41

Elodie or Benjamin, simply because there aren't many around! All nice names though!

BernardBlacksHangover · 26/10/2017 10:17

Evelyn Lyra and Oscar Nathaniel. Lovely!

Not at all keen on Elodie or Benjamin for some reason...

BernardBlacksHangover · 26/10/2017 10:18

Fwiw I know loads of little Benjamins. Just one Elodie. Oscar and Evelyn are popular though, so depends how much of a concern that is.

MaroonPencil · 26/10/2017 10:28

Elodie and Benjamin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/10/2017 10:36

Evelyn Maria is lovely, and Benjamin Thomas.

bridgetreilly · 26/10/2017 11:33

Evelyn Maria. I don't like Elodie at all, and I don't really think Lyra goes well with Evelyn.

Either of the boys names are good, but I have a slight preference for Oscar.

CakeRattleandRoll · 26/10/2017 13:37

Evelyn and Oscar
