Sorry, me again!

[Danniiaddy]

Sorry for the second post about a baby boy name!
So... twins are due imminently - a boy and a girl.
Girl will be named Clara Florence Rae but we’ve been stuck on a name for our boy.

We both quite like Kai Alexander Michael.

Surname begins with V and is 3 syllables.

We would like the babies to have 2 middle names to honour family members on both sides.

Is the name too chavvy? Does it go with Clara?

We did like Rowan for a boy but that has become more a girl’s name and also Roman is too popular so we vetoed it!
I liked Kit but DH hates it!

We can’t have any names beginning with T, D, H, B, I, N or U as initials TV/DV/BV/HV/IV/NV/UV aren’t great!

Names we vetoed

George
Oscar
Oliver
James
Jaxon
Mason
Adam
Mark
Charlie
Christopher
Elliott
Finn
Finley
Lewis
Lucas
Quinn
Rowan

Really stuck and only a few weeks to go!

I like Kai Alexander Michael, and I think it goes with Clara. You could also consider Alban Michael Alexander, or Maxwell Alexander Michael? congratulations!

I really dislike Kai.

Clara is lovely and for a boy I like

Quentin
Roman
Marcus

I really dislike Kai.

Clara is lovely and for a boy I like

Sorry for double post

Sorry for double post

Zachary Alexander Michael
Lawrence Alexander Michael
Ronan Alexander Michael
Owen Alexander Michael

I don't like Kai.
Clara on the other hand is beautiful.

Hmm. I love Clara and I really like Kai but I'm not sure I'd go for them together! Too similar sounding?

How about Michael Kai Alexander instead?

Alistair?
Sebastian?

Kai is a bit chavvy and doesn't go with Clara which is quite posh!

James or Oscar for the win

Not keen on Kai.
Guy is nice.

Ronan instead of Roman?

Love your girls name but I'm not a fan of Kai.

I know its vetoed but I love Clara and Quinn

Clara and Reuben
Clara and Theo
Clara and Elias

I think Clara and Roman is fabulous.
Not keen on Kai personally and I’m not sure it goes with Clara.

Love Clara but really dislike Kai.

I don't like the name Kai, sorry. It seems chavvy and especially so next to Clara which is a beautiful name.

Clara was on my short list of girls name, but we had a boy. On our short list of boys was:

Samuel
Christian
Benjamin
Sebastian

Thanks for the suggestions. I did think Kai was too modern up against Clara. We don’t agree on anything else - that’s the problem!
We definitely don’t want to use Michael as a first name. I hate the nn Mick and Mike which will be inevitable when he’s older.

Clara’s name was easy. (After my sister Clare)
1st Middle name Florence (MIL middle name)
2nd middle name Rae (my grandad and uncle both called Raymond)

P.S We don’t like Raymond for a first name either!

I like Alexander but DH doesn’t like it as a first name.

Don’t like any of the above suggestions - sorry!

It’s so tricky!!!

Michael and Kai becomes Mike-kai, best avoided I think.

Clara Florence Rae is incredibly long winded (and Clara is a bit over-done, in my opinion, but maybe that's just around here).

I think I've read most of these messages - has Micah been discounted?

Clara Florence is really lovely.

For boys
Cooper?
Cole?
Christopher nn Kit (might be a way to get round your husbands dislike of Kit? Use Christopher but call him Kit?)

You'll find names like Peter are really unusual these days- how about that?

Sidney nn Sid?
Laurence nn Laurie?
Barnaby nn Barns?
I agree RoMan is very popular and trendy and I'd avoid.

Kai is a completely different style to Clara. It really doesn’t go.

If you like Alexander what about Huxley or Felix?

Dominic
Casper (I like the idea of two C names but maybe you don't)
Nathan/Nathaniel nn Nate

Guy is good, as PP suggested. It’s virtually the same but a very different style.
Miles?

Alexander and Clara are lovely names and go well together.

I'm also not a fan of Kai but am rather biased because I have a son called Alexander (known as Alex or sometimes Xander) and if my second child had been a girl I would have definitely have considered Clara

How about Austin?
I like the suggestion of Miles above. Or Milo. Otto? Griff? Eric? Ellis? I love Ellis.
Bill?
I love Ezra but that may be too popular for you.
My baby daughter is called Rowan and yes it does get mixed up with Roman a lot which I hadn't anticipated and there's 2 Roman's at our small local nursery so she's "Rowan with a W".

Hope you find a boys name you love as much as your lovely girl name! Clara is beautiful. 💐
