What do you prefer?

[Ellll]

Hi Lovelies,
I need some baby name inspo for names that will go with my first born Jaxon James.
Im not going to be finding out the gender of my next baby so i need both boy and girl names just incase.

Boys so far i like:

• Hunter Alexander
• Arlo Alexander

Girls Names i like:

• Ava Rose
• Aria Rose
• Freya Rose
• Ella Rose
• Sommer Rose

Tell me what you like/dont like and make suggestions please, i cant use Lily, Lola, Lacie, Piper, Chloe, Sophie or Evelyn due to other family members/close friends having those names already xx

Is Sommer a typo?

I like Ava and freya best. They do go nicely with rose but I feel everyone has rose as a middle name now or as a hyphenated first name. My middle name is louise so was probably the same for my generation but I always felt it didnt mean anything as it was so common. I was glad to have an uncommon first name.

I like Sommer or Summer! Are you dead set on Rose for the middle name? I feel every thread on here people want Rose as the middle name! It's getting really bland!

I like Ava Summer or Aria Summer as well!

For boys I like Arlo and Hunter. I think Arlo is more original though!

Alexander and Rose

I think Sommer goes best with Jaxon.

Boys so far i like:

• Hunter Alexander - Okay. Bit chavvy (he's not going to be called the whole thing every time, is he? So just Hunter is a bit meh
• Arlo Alexander - Okay.

Girls Names i like:

• Ava Rose - Pretty
• Aria Rose - Pretty
• Freya Rose - Pretty
• Ella Rose - Pretty
• Sommer Rose - Hideous

Love the name Arlo 🥰

Ava aria Freya and Ella are all gorgeous

Freya is the only nice one... all the others are very of the moment, bit wishy-washy and v dull. Summer is ok. Rose as a middle name is also boring, sorry!

Is Sommer meant to be Summer?

I think Arlo Alexander to keep the alliteration

Girls are all quite common and samey but I think prefer Ava

Sorry but another No to Rose though

I prefer Arlo to Hunter, although I’m not that keen on it.

I don’t really like Rose as a middle name but I love it as a first name!
All of the girls names are pretty although I would spell the last one as summer

Sorry but I think summer/sommer is horrendous, sounds chavvy in my opinion x

I like them all except Sommer, what’s wrong with Summer?

Jaxon and
Hunter
Sommer/Summer

For those commenting, isn’t Sommer pronounced the same as Summer? I know one of each

Thank you all for your opinions!
I like Sommer and Summer spelt both ways, tbh though that was my least favourite girl name of them all. Thanks for your feedback on Hunter/Arlo, I agree, i wasnt sure if Hunter on its own sounded abit chavy! Please feel free to suggest any other boy names i just love the middle name Alexander.
With the girls middle names, i do like Rose but again i agree, it is common... im open to other middle names just not Marie as my middle name is Marie and practically every girl in my family has that middle name and I've always hated it!! Haha i quite like Grace as a middle name also x

Boys: I would put Alexander first - I much prefer it over Hunter and Arlo. Out of those 2 however I choose Arlo.

Girls: Summer is lovely and my first choice only if spelt this way. Otherwise Ella and Freya are best. Rose is quite over-used as a middle name so loses its appeal.

Other boys names you might like:
Leo
Jared
Max
Milo
Inigo

For girls, maybe:

Ava Caroline
Ava Louise
Ava Juliet

Freya Elizabeth
Freya Naomi
Freya Delphine

I love Arlo - it's on my list - and I love Alexander as a first or middle.

Not a big fan of any of your girl names - they're all very popular but I think most will age badly. Ella would probably be my choice out of your list.

I like Rose as a middle if it has significance to you - if not, look at some less common one-syllable names (list below) or maybe consider an old family name you wouldn't use as a first name - something like Anne, Barbara, Caroline, Catherine, Christina, Deborah, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Isabel(la), Margaret, Marjorie, Mary, Patricia, Rachel, Rebecca, Sarah, Victoria?

One-syllable girls' middles:
Ann(e)
Ash
Blair
Blake
Blanche
Blythe
Britt
Brooke
Bryn(n)
Cla(i)re
Dale
Dawn
Eve
Faith
Fay(e)
Fern
Fleur
Gail
Grace
Hope
Jean(ne)
Jill
Joan
Joy/Joyce
June
Lee/Leigh
Lise
Mae/May
Maeve
Maud(e)
Niamh/Neve
Paige
Quinn
Rae
Ruth
Sage

To be (brutally?) honest, I don't think Hunter sounds any more chavvy than Jaxon. They do go well together if you don't care though.

If you find Marie annoying because everyone has it then your daughter may find the same about Rose. Good list of alternative one syllable names by pp - or family/meaningful names.

I really think Arlo is a gorgeous name @Ellll

I’d personally choose Arlo Alexander

If you want similar suggestions how about Milo/Miles or Rudi/Rudy or Hugo or Otto

I personally prefer Arlo though and agree that Hunter is slightly downmarket sorry

Definitely spell summer correctly If you pick that one

I also think Arlo Alexander is a seriously cool name. I wouldn’t pick Hunter myself as it is really aggressive sounding and downmarket, sorry.

Other boy suggestions (but prefer Arlo)

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby nn Barns or Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel nn Nate
Rafferty nn Raffy
Sidney nn Sid

Other ideas:

Eli
Ellis
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Chester
Caleb

For girls

I really love your names apart from Sommer
Love Aria Ava and Ella

How about Imogen? Or Eliza?
