I need some baby name help!!! We are team yellow and are totally not agreeing on names! So I need some opinions on the following:

Girls:
Layla Rae
Avery Grace

Boys:
Jackson James
Isaac Michael
Archie Michael

I love Avery for a girl husband hates it.

Avery is for a boy in my eyes

I met a boy called Avery. He was a toddler so his pronounciation wasn’t great but I thought he said his name was Evil-wee. Just something to bear in mind...

Avery makes me thing of aviary as in birds!

Both lovely but personally prefer Avery X

Sounds too much like ovary

Layla is nice

CherryValance · 21/10/2018 20:15

Layla or Isaac for me

Sophronia · 23/10/2018 02:13

The only one I like is Isaac Michael, but I prefer Michael Isaac.

Layla Grace.

Ditch Avery and Rae.

@DollyWilde what song about Layla?

Avery also reminds me of a bird house, so I wouldn't go with that. Layla Rae sounds really tacky. How about Lila as an alternative? Without the Rae, maybe Rose instead? Though it is very popular as a middle name.

Isaac hands down with your boys names, faaaaar too many Archies around!

@nocluenoidea The rather famous Eric Clapton one... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla

Admittedly released 18 years before I was born but I now feel pretty old!

Layla and Isaac. Archie hugely popular (nice name but very used at moment in itself no bad thing). Avery is a name ! Quite popular in the US. I also just think of printer labels and aviary. Shame as otherwise I like it.
