So we have a shortlist of 4 names each for girls and boys, and I would love to get some opinions on them. Our surname is Patrick, and we have already decided all names will also have my mum's maiden name as a middle name (Blackler - its a rare name that we would like to continue our branch of) so all names would need to sit well with both.

Girls:
Kiana Mai
Eleanor Daisy
Phoebe Anna
Megan Lucy

Boys:
Nathaniel Oliver
Joshua Ian
Jamie Connor
Matthew Thomas

My favourites are:

Megan Lucy Blackler Patrick

Matthew Thomas Blackler Patrick
Nathaniel Oliver Blackler Patrick (although not sure about NOBP initials)

Really love all of those names!

Personally I really really dislike Kiana Mai. I'm sort of surprised it's on your list as it's so different to all the others Xmas Grin

I don't like Kiana or Mai. They both have pronunciation and spelling issues (Kee-Ahna/Anna or rhyme with Diana? and My/May. The others are fine.
Congratulations and best wishes.

MikeUniformMike · 12/12/2017 14:42

I thought Megan Lucy or Thomas Oliver too.

BackforGood · 12/12/2017 14:49

I too am surprised at Kiana and Mai getting in there, as they seem very different from the rest.
I like Megan and Matthew best of those, but it's just personal taste. I like all the boys (although prefer James to Jamie, giving him that option as he grows), and only dislike Kiana of the girls.

curryforbreakfast · 12/12/2017 14:51

Kiana Mai is beyond awful, I hope its not the favourite.The rest are fine.

MollyHuaCha · 12/12/2017 14:57

In my view...

Kiana Mai -no
Eleanor Daisy - nice
Phoebe Anna - nice
Megan Lucy - nice

Boys:
Nathaniel Oliver - first 3 initials = NOB
Joshua Ian - ok
Jamie Connor - no
Matthew Thomas nice

Puremince · 12/12/2017 14:59

Phoebe Anna sounds good to me, because I like the work of the artist Phoebe Anna Traquair.

Eleanor Daisy is lovely too, but I'm not keen on Kiana Mai.

I like all your boys choices.

Olivelor · 12/12/2017 15:11

Congratulations! Flowers I love Kiana Mai. Its really unique IMO. Joshua Ian is my pick from the boy names.

cakeymccakington · 12/12/2017 15:12

My faves are:

Eleanor Daisy

Nathaniel Oliver

Lemonnaise · 12/12/2017 18:06

Megan and Matthew are my favourites.

Happpydays · 12/12/2017 18:34

I can't believe there are so many negative views on Kiana Mai - I like that one the best out of your girls names! It's different but still 'proper' and really nice.

Boys I think Joshua Ian and Jamie Connor are best.

All the names are really beautiful, though, you can't go wrong!

TatianaLarina · 12/12/2017 18:41

I like Phoebe, Nathaniel and Joshua. Don’t like Ian prefer Oliver as middle name.

TatianaLarina · 12/12/2017 18:42

Kiana Mai is awful. Could easily be Coleen Rooney’s new baby.

MancUnicorn · 12/12/2017 19:07

Phoebe Anna

Nathaniel Oliver
Jamie Connor

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/12/2017 19:22

Megan Lucy/Eleanor Daisy, like them equally.
Jamie Connor.

HildaZelda · 13/12/2017 00:16

I like Eleanor and Matthew best.

notangelinajolie · 13/12/2017 00:19

Phoebe or Joshua.
