What other names might I like? Keep being horribly picky.

[Laytwir024]

Boys:

Reuben- Orignal favourite but the issue is I feel like I've heard it too much now.

Tristan- sometimes I love this and sometimes I'm not sure. Dh needs convincing.

Jonah- really like but DS has a J name so don't think I should use another. Also sounds less good with our surname.

Girls:

Thea - just been used by a family member. Would feel weird as that's her name now.

Elowen - I've seen a couple of comments about pronunciation on here and LOL not being a great sound (even though I used to like it). Also so many E names for girls right now.

Georgiana- I'm worried it's just a phase.

Nothing else sticks. Ideas?

Quentin? Sebastian?

Louisa? Florence?

Rudy
Amos
Rupert
Laurence
Gregory

Marianne
Cordelia
Cecilia
Francine
Daphne

Where do you live? I see a lot of people on here saying Reuben is popular, but I rarely hear it where I am (East London). But some of the names people have suggested are very popular like Isaac. Love Elowen!

What about Lowenna instead of Elowen?

Tristan is lovely.
All that tranche of similar sounding R names like Reuben Rohan Rory Roman are a so overdone and dull at the moment. Roman is the fastest rising boy name and it's everywhere so avoid all them if popularity is a concern, which is sounds like it is.

Other thoughts - Lucas/Luke, Noah, Elijah (Eli), Patrick, Issac, Oscar, Max, Guy, Nathaniel nn Nat/Nate, Sebastian nn Seb or Bash, Christopher nn Kit,

This was pretty much what I was going to suggest!

I love Tristan though. And the one I know has a neither with a J name too!

Girls I'm not as keen on your names but they aren't bad - just not what I'd go for!

I like

Matilda
Phoebe
Charlotte
Bethany
Maya
Sophia

I like Reuben and Tristan. I don’t like Jonah.
With the exemption of Georgina I love your girls nAmes. I don’t know where people are getting the LOL sound out of Elowen.

Other names you might like
Boys ...Elijah. Ezra. Nathan Aaron. Zachary. Elliot. Jude
Girls. Elsa. Saskia. Florence. Maeve. Hazel
Nina. Eden. Nora.

I have a Georgiana - have nothing but compliments!

I think you're not being picky enough. These names seem random and very different. Why not establish what type of name you're after first and then narrow down the preferences in that category.

Damian, Isaiah, Rufus, Micah? Rhea, Eloise, Maisie?

For my DS we nearly picked Reuben but he's Hamish, what about that? Although we are in Scotland so it might not appeal elsewhere!

For girls, how about Elodie? Similar to Elowen but a bit... prettier? And easier to pronounce!

Personally I'd stay away from 'George' names for a girl. It might just be my area but in my DS's class at school there are two Georgie's, a Georgina and a Georgia. They are the same age as Prince George and I do wonder if that had something to do with it.
