Hello, me and my husband are keeping the sex of our baby a surprise but have shortlisted a few names which I'd like opinions on please! So for a girl we have either Polly or Elodie and for a boy we have Isaac or Ivo (pronounced eye-vo) thanks Smile

Polly and Ivo get my vote

I know and Ivo and he's a great, great guy (very handsome too!). And Elodie is much nicer than Polly. Though you could always name her Elodie and call her Polly sometimes.

I like them all but Polly and Ivo are my favourites.

MikeUniformMike · 12/01/2020 13:57

Polly and Isaac.

I pronounce Ivo as Ee-vo because that's how the Ivo I know says it, but some will say it a Eye-vo.
Elodie is a trendy name that will date, and sounds pretty in French but meh in the UK.

I really like Polly, not so keen on Elodie

I like both Isaac and Ivo but I'd go with Ivo as its more unusual

I love Ivo. It will be on my shortlist if all goes well with my current pregnancy and it turns out to be a boy!

Not such a fan of Polly or Elodie, I think of the two I prefer Elodie.

(My DH is French too Smile)

Love Polly and Ivo. Like Elodie but there are quite a lot of them. (Also doesn’t sound good with London accent).

What about Manon?

Loveislandaddict · 12/01/2020 21:41

all Good names, although prefer Pollyanna to Polly on it’s own,

sel2223 · 13/01/2020 09:43

Elodie and Ivo - I love the French connection since your DH is French and they are both beautiful, unusual names but not too 'out there'

Without reading the pronunciation, I would have said eye-vo anyway. Just like ivor or ivan so can't see the issue.

I like Polly but it just seems a bit common to me compared to your other choices....Polly pocket, pretty Polly, Polly the parrot lol

Another vote for Elodie and Ivo, and again, I automatically pronounced eye-vo
