Hi, we’re due baby number 2 in September, I know that’s a few months away but we are really struggling to agree on names, please rate the following!

Girls:
Aliona
Briony
Georgianna
Zoe
Winter/Winnie (has same initial as dd1 which I’m not keen on but love the name)
Inés/Inéz

Boys:
Jude
Noah
Jasper
Oliver
Ezra
Henry
Thomas

Either:
Logan - this is sentimental as we began dating whilst visiting mount Logan, he loves it for a boy but I prefer it for a girl!

TIA

Briony and Ezra are the only ones I like out of those lists but I'd go for Logan!

Foals · 22/05/2020 17:06

I like Jasper, but prefer Casper. Henry and Thomas are good sound names, particularly Henry.

For the girls I love Georgiana but I would spell it with one "n" like that as Georgianna sounds made up/deliberately altered (sorry) or misinformed/a spelling error (sorry) and it cheapens the name (sorry) with two "n"s. Briony is also very pretty. Also love Bonnie (sorry, know that's not on your list!)

17caterpillars1mouse · 22/05/2020 17:10

Same initial isn't necessarily a bad thing. I don't think Willow and Winter really go.

I really like Briony (though prefer Bryony) and Georgiana. Zoe is nice too

Love Ezra, Henry and Thomas. Don't mind Logan but strictly boy only

VirginWestCoast · 22/05/2020 17:11

Aliona- Fear it might be quite a hard name to shout across a playground/supermarket. Not keen on the very flowery/vowel inondated names anyway, though
Briony- Not keen personally, but fine.
Georgianna- Have never seen it spelt like this. Georgiana/Georgina usually. There's also Georgia which, tbh, I much prefer.
Zoe- Love
Winter/Winnie- Not sure, tbh.
Inés/Inéz- Really like this

Boys:
Jude- Like
Noah- I wouldn't usually say don't use a name because of it's popularity but I think this will really date.
Jasper- Not bad but I struggle to imagine a grown man with this name. Not sure why.
Oliver- Like
Ezra- Not keen but nice enough name
Henry- Great, underused at the moment
Thomas- Also great, pretty timeless

Either:
Logan- Don't like, especially for a girl

VirginWestCoast · 22/05/2020 17:13

So in short:
Zoe, Inéz, Georgina
Henry, Thomas, Jude

3LittleMonkeyz · 22/05/2020 17:18
  1. Aliona, not heard that before
  2. Zoe
  3. Winter/Winnie
  4. Ines/Inez
  5. Briony (not a big fan sounds like the female of Brian)
  6. Georgianna. Unless your Italian, I guess
  1. Noah (although it's very popular)
  2. Ezra
  3. Jasper
  4. Jude
  5. Thomas
  6. Henry
  7. Oliver
3LittleMonkeyz · 22/05/2020 17:19

Missed Logan! I love that name, for a boy though I think.

justanotherparent1810 · 22/05/2020 17:47

Should have mentioned dd is Wren

OP posts:
LotusClover · 22/05/2020 17:59

Aliona - don't like
Briony - prefer Bryony
Georgianna - will constantly get misspelt as Georgiana
Zoe - love
Winter/Winnie - love (only if she is actually born in winter though, otherwise it's just wrong)
Inés/Inéz - wouldn't have a clue how to pronounce

Jude - love
Noah - quite like
Jasper - strongly dislike, too modern and childish
Oliver - too popular
Ezra - too popular
Henry - boring
Thomas - boring

Logan - love for a boy, don't like for a girl

LadyEloise · 22/05/2020 18:06

Logan for boy or girl

bridgetreilly · 22/05/2020 18:14

In order:
Briony: Pretty, works well with Wren.
Zoe: Also nice.
Georgianna: Usually spelled Georgiana. Seems a bit too much for me, especially compared to Wren.
Aliona: Awful pro dancer on Strictly. But other than that, okay.
Winter/Winnie (has same initial as dd1 which I’m not keen on but love the name): I hate this, both Winter and Winnie.
Inés/Inéz: Not unless you're Spanish.
Logan: Not a girls name.

In order:
Jasper: I love this
Noah: A
Oliver
Ezra
Henry
Thomas
Jude
Logan: Well, it's better for a boy than a girl.

Logan is great! Why not just be Logan whatever the sex?

rate the following!

Girls:
Aliona - alioli
Briony - not a fan as knew one

Inés/Inéz - how do you say this one?

Boys:
Jude - love
Noah - overused 'moment' name
Jasper - love
Oliver - boring
Ezra - will age and no
Henry.- no
Thomas - no

MrsSchadenfreude · 22/05/2020 18:37

Aliona or Ines.

justanotherparent1810 · 22/05/2020 19:06

EveryoneLoves09876 I don’t want to use it for a boy because the boy Logan’s I knew had a bad reputation but the one girl Logan I’ve met is lovely, whereas dp doesn’t like it for a girl but loves it for a boy and we’d rather completely agree on a name

OP posts:
MikeUniformMike · 22/05/2020 19:12

Aliona - is it a name from Strictly?
Briony - a bit Brian-y
Georgianna - no. Georgina is ok
Zoe - yes
Winter/Winnie (has same initial as dd1 which I’m not keen on but love the name) - not sure
Inés/Inéz - is the accent right?

Boys:
Jude - no
Noah - no
Jasper - not sure
Oliver - yes
Ezra - no
Henry - yes
Thomas - favourite

Either:
Logan - this is sentimental as we began dating whilst visiting mount Logan, he loves it for a boy but I prefer it for a girl!

Definitely not. OK as a middle name

MikeUniformMike · 22/05/2020 19:14

I'd go with Inès.

MooseBreath · 22/05/2020 20:18

Aliona - 2 - Spelling will be tricky and unsure of pronounciation
Briony - 1 - This name grates on me because of how it's said in my accent (it rhymes with 'whiny')
Georgianna - 3 - Quite a mouthful
Zoe - 7 - Solid name
Winter/Winnie - 1 - Season, not a name
Inés/Inéz - 5 - People won't know how to pronounce this

Boys:
Logan - 4 - Better as a boy name, but a bit preppy
Jude - 7 - Good name, not too common
Noah - 6 - I'd feel like I was constantly saying 'No'
Jasper - 9 - Love it
Oliver - 7 - Great name, far too popular
Ezra - 8 - Great name
Henry - 2 - Can only hear it as shouted by Auntie Em in The Wizard of Oz...very grating
Thomas - 6 - Meh

ilovepuggies · 22/05/2020 20:34

When and Jude go really well. I love the name wren it’s beautiful.
All your girls names are ok. I love sorrel, they would both be nature names?

Foals · 22/05/2020 20:37

If your DD is Wren (lovely) then I do think Winter is nice, I wouldn't mind about the same initial thing, but you'd have to give a middle name I guess to differentiate between the two W names. Not keen on Winnie though, it feels a stout-sounding kind of name without much charm about it. (just my opinion on a name though, I'm sure there are plenty of charming Winnies in person!)

I think Briony also goes well with Wren, to me Briony is a nature type name and makes me think of Briar Rose from the fairytale (in a nice way!)

Zoe I don't see as going that well with Wren, but it's still a nice name.

Jude goes really well with Wren, as does Jasper.

Really not keen on Logan. Only my personal experience, but I've met a few and they were pretty naughty and their parents let them be... I'm sure there are lots of lovely Logans out there though.

123Dancewithme · 22/05/2020 20:43

I like Inez and Jasper

sweetnosugar · 22/05/2020 22:37

Winnie is my absolute favourite.
All your boy names are lovely, can’t decide. Would say that Jude is my least.

justanotherparent1810 · 23/05/2020 10:25

That’s some mixed answers, thank you. We’re going to ask my sister (the only family member we want to involve). Hopefully we’ll be able to narrow it down by September.

If anyone can think of any names we might like please suggest, we still can’t agree on any so far.
