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.

I would say gay bree ul. That's how I've always known it as (north west)

And Lucien as Lucy-un

Lucien I'm pronouncing the same, think that is how most will pronounce it?

I've confused myself and can't figure out if I say Gaybe re al or Gab re al now.

Ul. Not al.

I just keep hoping he'll change his mind on Ivo! I adore it but his best friend has that name (which I think is lovely, and is a portugese name which will reflect the babies heritage)

Clara Valentine
Ivo Valentine

Done!
(stamp your foot to get Ivo - I totally would!)

Gabriel - Gabe-re-ull
Lucien - Loo-shun

Which is bonkers as follows no ‘rules’. Ivo, on the other fans, will never get mangled and goes so well with Rudy...

Gay bre is the boy version imo.

Gab re is the start of the name Gabrielle

Ahh @NoSquirrels I know! Ivo and Rudy are brill together. I am going to keep persevering but he's really not having it at the moment. I think it's nice that it's his friends name!

You'll get jokes about who the Dad is

Gay bree ul = boy Gabriel
Ga bree elle = girl Gabrielle
Loo see en for Lucien

A pity your DP is so against Rocco. Rocco and Rudy make a great combination!

For boys my other ideas are:

Hal
Monty
Axel
Asher
Cole
Nico
Nate
Chase
Tobin
Fox
Victor
Cy
Griffin

I know, he thinks Rocco sounds like a porn star name! I love it.

Victor I like a lot actually. Def one to put to him.

I’m with him on Rocco I’m afraid, a bit silly and try hard. Victor I like, or Ivor? Ivan?

Coco Valentine

Other thoughts...though Rafferty is cool...
Arthur...NN Art or Arty...also cool.
Caden ( see Cornish names thread), though I have taught a Caden
Kayleb
Arian
Syaan
Kit
Vincent
Sidney
Otto

I don't particularly like Rocco either, but fail to see how it's 'silly' or 'try-hard'. It's a completely legitimate Italian name . . .

Be careful some names when put together sound like a product eg Coco Velvet sounds like a skin cream!
Clara Valentine is my favourite of your combos (biased as our newborn DD is called Clara!)

Not keen on the boy choices I’m afraid...

Hepcat, it’s just subjective isn’t it, that’s my reaction - I didn’t know it was an Italian name, it sounds like a made up name to me, and silly is what I thought when I met one... sorry if you have one

'I don't particularly like Rocco, either'.

No, I don't have one.

Love Clara but maybe a slightly different middle name... sorry OP not keen on any!

Clara Violet is nice?

Boys names Rafferty and Rudy together sound great!

I think Rudy and Ivo sound fantastic together too, they're similar styles of name without being matchy. Keep persevering, OP!!!

I like Seraphina (as in Pekkala, from the Northern Lights books) but I can't say I like the rest! I know a lovely Alba though.
