Hi what name do you like the most from our short list?

Boys-
Avery
Lucan
Elian
Ivan
Irvin
Ansel

Girls-
Sylvie
Audra
Sybil
Della
Anya

none of them. They are all bloody awful. sorry

Boys-
Avery - no, too Ava-y
Lucan - Lord
Elian - too similar to Elias, Eliane etc
Ivan - fine - Yvahn or Ive-an?
Irvin - not keen
Ansel - not keen

Girls-
Sylvie -not keen
Audra - not keen, prefer Kendra
Sybil - ok
Della - ok
Anya - ok

Sylvie and Ivan

Just Anya.
I prefer Lucas to Lucan (the first thing that came to mind was Lord Lucan - quite a famous crime, but old now).

Don’t know why you’d want to name a child after an aristocrat murderer. He was an arsehole.

Ivan & Anya

I only really like Elian from the boys list (although I'd like Elias even better). Not keen on the sound of Ansel and I find Avery quite feminine and too close to Aviary. Lucan reminds me of Lord Lucan (but Lucian would be nice) and Ivan makes me think of Ivan the terrible, sorry (but Ivo or Evan are nice?).

Your girls list is lovely, only ones I'm not so keen on is Audra (though I like Audrey) and maybe Della is a bit nicknamey sounding/too close to Bella? But I'd struggle to pick between the beautiful Anya, Sylvie and Sybil - maybe Sylvie just edges it.

Ansel and Sylvie

Boys-
Avery - not a fan at all, and would lean to assuming girl

Lucan - like it, prefer Lucien

Elian - I really like it but many would assume girl

Ivan - love it

Irvin - it's OK, just not my style. Nice that it's different though

Ansel - nice but prefer Ivan

Have you considered Ivor or Elias, they seem similar to some of your names

Girls-
Sylvie - nice enough

Audra - not a fan. Love Audrey though
Sybil - adore it but couldn't convince dh. I really do love it though
Della - nice
Anya - not a fan, prefer Anna

Ivan and Sylvie

Please not Lucan. It makes me think of Lord Lucan and nobody else!

Ivan and Sylvie

Is Ivan i-VAN or I vn

Ansel and Sylvie

I also like Torben as a similar Nordic- sounding name x

How about Lorcan instead of Lucan?

Ivan
Anya

I love, love, love Ivan and Anya.

Ivan and Della
