Hi all,
Due in three weeks and really struggling to agree on first names! Middle names have been chosen (family related) but first names are undecided.
Middle names are:
Isabella Eileen
Tobias John
Surname stars with D so need to consider the initials for a girl (middle names can be changed round if needs be).
Husband loves Esme for a girl and Alexander for a boy but I'm not sure as they're both rather popular where we are in Scotland. Any suggestions appreciated!

I love Esme for a girl, beautiful. I actually like just Xander for a boy x

Alasdair/ Alastair/ Alistair is the Scottish form of Alexander, Would go with John. What about Isla Isabella, or Elena Eileen?

I really like Alexander (esp Xander - not so keen on Alex) and Esme. I wouldn't let popularity alone stop you choosing names you otherwise love.

Similar ideas to Esme:
Annie, Abbie, Bonnie, Betsy, Brodie, Bronte, Cassie, Callie, Daphne, Dulcie, Daisy, Edie, Elsie, Effie, Emmy, Halle, Ivy, Jessie, Josie, Katy, Lily, Lucy, Maisie, Molly, Millie, Marnie, Nancy, Polly, Ruby, Rosie, Romy, Sophie, Sadie, Sylvie, Tansy, Vashti, Winnie

Similar ideas to Alexander:
Anthony, Alistair, Alisdair, Adrian, Benedict, Christopher, Daniel, Elliot, Frederick, George, Gregory, Henry, Nicholas, Nathaniel, Patrick, Richard, Samuel, Solomon, Timothy, Thomas, William, Xavier
