My hubby and I are expecting our first baby (we don't know the gender yet) but we're stuck on names and need to narrow it down. I'll * my favourites

Girls:
*Amber
*Sofia
Valentina
Alexandra
Suzette
Delilah

Boys:
*Jonah
Mason
Cole
Shane
Louis

I think I'm leaning towards Jonah if it's a boy because it's hubbys middle name but I need a middle name for baby! I was thinking Ethan. How does Jonah Ethan sound?

Unless you are living in a cowboy movie, I'd say no.one or other, but not both.

I think Jonah Ethan sounds awesome and I really like Ethan alone too. It is underused where I live but is a great sounding name. From your girls’ list the only one I really wouldn’t use is Suzette because the “ette” is a diminutive.

RavenclawsRoar · 17/08/2021 17:01

My top pick from your girls list would be Alexandra, although I do like Suzette too. I like Jonah too and think Jonah Ethan sounds fine, or maybe Jonah Cole.

Babydust13 · 17/08/2021 17:39

From your girls list I love Amber and Delilah

From the boys list I like Coke and Jonah

Congratulations good luck

Babydust13 · 17/08/2021 17:40

Amber - nice
Sofia - nice
Valentina - ok
Alexandra - lovely
Suzette - crepe, no
Delilah - why, why, why? (that's a no)

Jonah - ok
Mason - naughty boy's name
Cole - nice
Shane - no
Louis - nice if pronounced 'Louis'

Amber and mason

bloominglovelyorange · 18/08/2021 09:40

Jonah Ethan is lovely

NCkitchen · 18/08/2021 09:49

Sofia and Mason

I don't think Jonah Ethan flows very well.

When said out loud it sounds like a mispronounciation of Johnathan. Or you end up putting a stop in between Jonah and ethan which is awkward too

Although i guess people don't often say they whole name so may be fine

Marley
Marshall
Maxwell
Michael
Suzannah
Sara
Not Valentina or Suzette.

I like Valentina, Alexandra and Delilah from your girls list. I only like Jonah and Louis from your boys list.

I agree that Jonah Ethan sounds like a mispronunciation of Johnathan.

Other suggestions:

Boys:
Logan
Sean
Seth
Liam

Girls:
Marietta
Dahlia
Ramona
Lucia
Violetta
Juliette

Hi,

Jonah Ethan sounds like trying to say Jonathan x

How about.

Jonah Alexander
Jonah Elias
Jonah Thomas
