Thoughts on my GIANT list

[bobloblawlawblog]

So many, am attempting to narrow down a bit. Am aware that some aren't hugely traditional and I'm totally ok with that.

To go with DS Rudy Gray Surname.

Any thoughts?

I don’t have the same taste in names so this might not help.

Clara and Celestine are my favourite girl’s names with Valentine as a middle name. But... the only time middle names are used are when you announce the birth so I really wouldn’t get hung up on middle names.

I don’t like any of your boy!s names.

Celeste even!

Ahh I find I use my DS middle name loads. I think we are pretty sold on Valentine. Love Audrey and Coco Valentine from suggestions so far.

Aubrey for a boy is a maybe? Aubrey Valentine N-D

Atlas Valentine

Linus I actually do like. Will put to DH

Like
Pearl
Clara
Delilah

Rafferty
Lucien

Probably Winter of middle names

I would 100% go with Celeste Valentine for a girl. I think it’s beautiful and gives you a few nicknames, CeCe, Lettie etc.

My LB is called Maverick so I love unusual names. Your boys list I don’t love any as first names other than Atlas, also could use Valentine x

Ahh I find I use my DS middle name loads
Do you introduce him as Rudy Gray in playgroups, GP, etc?

I only know the middle name of one child. His name is Charles Arthur. His mother calls him Charles Arthur or Charles or Arthur. She told me she couldn’t decide which name she preferred as a first name so decided to use both. He is about eight now and still uses both names. It’s sounds quite strange to me.

No introduce as Rudy, I'm not that pretentious! But I do find I often call him Rudy Gray and so do other family members. It suits him.

Ihoe Maverick is brilliant, love it

Love this list! Alba valentine would be my choice.

Love your list all are so fab!
My favs are Sabrina and Frida.
I like Camille but I think it doesnt sound as good with an English accent ya know? Haha

I loooooove valentine for a boy!

@micc I like Camille so much as when DH says it he has a portugese accent and it sounds lovely!

Alba
Lilith🖤
Ines
Ingrid
Serena
Frida🖤
Sabrina

Are all nice and would go with Rudy. Afraid I'm not keen on any of the boy's names.

Clara or Scarlett and Lucien are my favourites!

Only Clara and Lucien are passable in my opinion.

Frida Valentine or Camille Valentine for a girl
Valentine Lucien or Lucien Apollo for a boy

Oo Lucien Apollo is a curveball I like it!

I love the names Pearl and Camille probably with Winter as mn.
From your list of boys my favourite is Ivo.

Vida Valentine

Atlas Winter

I’m glad you’ve ruled out Love, Moon & Velvet as middle names. You would run the risk of picking a stripper name with those. E.g. Coco Love 😬.

I actually think of Valentine for a boy, after that celebrity chef who I had a major crush on for a while! He was so posh and curly haired and made gorgeous food! Ahem, anyway.

I really like most of your girls list, really dislike coco tho. And boys list less so. Especially dislike Lucien, which many seem keen on - too close to Lucifer for me.

Audrey and Rudy are a bit too similar?

Would Audra be better?

Audrey and Rudy are way too close aren't they you're right! Don't like Audra though

Valentine as a first name for a boy is definitely a contender now I think
