Hi ladies,

I need help picking a girl and boy name. Surname is pronounced r-ozzie. Some of the names I like I'm not sure go with the surname. Help! Middle name likely to be Jean or Dorothy for girl and Frank for boy

Girls:
Eleanor- love but OH had a thing for a woman called this whilst we were together

Eloise-love this

Juliette- love but will people think Romeo and Juliet?

Evangeline- not sure it goes well with Jean and too long to add Dorothy?

Francesca-love especially Frankie as a nn

Susannah-not sure on Susannah but love Susie

Elsa- love but let it go?

Evelyn- love

Saoirse- have Irish family but live in England and will probably get said and spelt wrong?

Marianne- prettier version of my grandmas name.

Beatrix- think other half is against this but love trixie. Does this name sound pretentious?

Alayna- quite like a little laney

Leonora- love but with surname?

Niamh- ok but not top of my list.

Adeline- not sure on addie as nn

Eliana- nice but not top of list.

Theadora- too push for working class family?

Elaina- love

Emily- too common?

Margo- seen some people say it's too harsh?

Elva- opinions?

Boys:

Ezra- my all time favourite boys name but not sure if it is too much with an R surname. Will be heartbroken lol

Micah- love it.unusual but biblical and love mike

Shane- is it a bit common?

Nathaniel- not keen on Nathaniel but love nate

Zachary- with surname?

Tobias- prefer Toby

Travis- like but not my usual style.

Jared- already have 2 boys with j names so wanted to avoid but like the name

Ryan- too common?

Thanks

  1. Saoirse and Jared
  2. Travis and Elva
  3. Rian (nicer than Ryan) and Leona (would use this over Leonora).

Micah and Saoirse are my favs.

Elva- reminds me vulva

Tobias is nice but hate Toby.

Ezra- love

Margo-hate

Nate is nice

The rest are so so. Some are really common/popular now like Evelyn and Zachary. Others like Shane and Ryan are boring.

Eliana or Susannah
Ezra or Toby

Buntysoven · 24/02/2018 22:39

Susannah or Ezra

pipilangstrumpf · 24/02/2018 22:44

Love Leonora!

Don't like your boys names

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 24/02/2018 23:01

What about Elsie? Elsie jean sound really nice.
Boys names I think Ezra is nice, putting Frank I. The middle name will space it out a bit so it do3snt clash with surname.
My DP has a weird surname so I had trouble with my DD name I originally wanted tayla but it didn’t sound right with the surname. Luckily our second choice worked well

Marianne

Travis

LauraO1905 · 25/02/2018 08:14

Evelyn (but biased as that's my DD's name)

Nathaniel (have always loved Nathan for a boy)

Elfyn · 25/02/2018 09:09

You can’t have Eleanor with that backstory!

My faves are:

Susannah
Marianne
Beatrix
Leonora
Theodora

Micah
Nathaniel
Zachary
