Shortlist and inspiration

[theworstwife]

Struggling to decide on name for DC2 due in April. These are a few we thought of but looking for any inspiration. We have a short Irish surname ending in y

Boys - Rory, Owen, Isaac, Patrick
Girls - Eloise, Poppy, Lara, Ailis, Ellis

DH only really likes Eloise

Felix
Isaac
Jemima
Rachael

I really like Jemima but DH thinks it’s too “ducky” 🤣 Really like Rachael actually

I like Isaac, Patrick and Poppy. Rachel is really nice too.

Rory and Poppy both end in y like your surname... do the combinations sound too rhymey?

Peter
Samuel
Jacob
Toby
Liam

Louisa
Pippa
Phoebe
Martha
Hannah

I really like Owen and Ailis.

Yes that is my reservation with Poppy inparticular - it’s a bit rhymey.

Jake
Adam

Anna
Matilda

Jenna
Mia
Lauren
Sophia
Lydia

Ewan
Otis
Oscar
Archie

Isaac & Ellis (Ellis is my sisters name!)

Also LOVE Eloise! My friend sisters are names Eloise and Genevieve which I juust adore ❤️

Some great names everyone thanks. Can’t convince DH of Ellis but I love it for a girl and think it goes well with our surname

Lara or Eloise and Owen (all your names are nice, though!).
