Names that go together

[itstoolateforthis]

There are some name combinations that DP and I are really loving but we'd also like to choose a name that goes with other names we like. Which of these work the best together, without being too clunky or too samey (I think 'Callahan + Cariad' and, 'Gaia + Kai' are out, for instance!). This is our first and we are planning three in total, likely, so looking for honest answers.

Girl names we like
Antigone
Arietta
Arietty
Cariad
Elowen
Gaia

Boy names we like
Callahan
Oisean
Kai
Leo
Jude

Thank you!

Your views will change with time. DS (26 years ago would have been a Madeleine). 3.5 years later the shortlist for girls names was: Imogen, Alice, Isabel (with Poppy, Daisy and Louisa binned by DH).

Yes to echo PP your tastes may change! We found that a mere 19 months after having DD we didn’t even consider any of the names we had considered for her.

Love Arriety. Really wanted to use it but OH wouldn’t even consider it Jude is my favourite from your boys list…great name

Another saying tastes change.

I wouldn't even consider my 15yo's name now and i absolutely loathe the name we had picked had he been a she!

My 8yo daughter has a name i'd never considered before and I love it.

I’d say just take it 1 pregnancy at a time, it’s impossible to plan for these things. Of your list I like Elowen, Gaia, Leo and Jude. Good luck.
