We are trying for a baby, and name is a big worry for me. I don't want it to be boring but not too extravagant either... hard decisions.
I'd love your thoughts on my associations...

Boy :
Louis Theodore
Elijah Evander
Isaac Jude
Oliver Reign

Girls :
Olympe Esme
Harper Grace
Summer Mae
I love the name Alice but not sure of a middle name to go with it?

Any ideas would be welcome... surname starts with an S and has another S in it so I don't want too many s :)

Thankuuu

They all seem a bit extravagant to me apart from Isaac Jude

Your boys names are better than your girls names selection.
Are there any family members you’d like to honour by using middle name?

Louis Theodore - lovely
Elijah Evander - these names don't flow together

Isaac Jude - ok
Oliver Reign - Oliver is persistently top of ONS statistics for name most used

Olympe Esme - I don't really,take to thus
Harper Grace - OK, but Beckhams plus v v common middle name
Summer Mae - it looks a bit too seasonal (despite respelling 'Mae')

MargaritasOnMe · 14/04/2022 07:00

I like all your boy names. I'd probably go for Elijah as the other names are very popular in my area so I hear them a lot - every second boy in DS' school seems to be called Isaac or Oliver at the moment. For a girl, I really like Summer.

Sushi7 · 14/04/2022 07:04

Isaac is nice but I’m not keen on most of the names you’ve mentioned. Alice is lovely and if you love the name then choose that!

Mumofgirls2017 · 14/04/2022 07:46

Louis Theodore and Isaac Jude are lovely. I like Summer and Harper is ok; I prefer Olympia to Olympe. Not keen on the middles for girls though.
Suggestions for Alice

Alice Violet
Alice Matilda
Alice Wren
Alice Olivia
Alice Katherine
Alice Amelia
Alice Emily
Alice Penelope
Alice Eliza
Alice Delilah
Alice Clementine
Alice Josephine
Alice Juliet

Boy :
Louis Theodore - Louis is ok, don't like Theodore
Elijah Evander - Elijah is too long and a bit babyish, don't like Evander but Evan is nice
Isaac Jude - don't like Jude
Oliver Reign - Reign is awful

Girls :
Olympe Esme - Sounds like Limp
Harper Grace - really boring. Don't like Harper and Grace is a filler middle name
Summer Mae - May isn't in the Summer, Mae is hideous. Not keen on Summer.

FayCarew · 14/04/2022 09:15

Alice Olympia would be nice, but Alice Stevens or something doesn't flow all that well

Purpleroseas · 14/04/2022 10:31

If you don't want a 'boring' name, avoid Oliver! There's thousands of them born over the past 10 years...

Fivebeanchilli · 14/04/2022 10:42

Louis Theodore - lovely. But Louis is fairly popular
Elijah Evander- Elijah is nice. Evander is awful to my mind (and just the boxer!) Elijah Louis would be much nicer (or Elijah Theodore)
Isaac Jude - nice but both names are very popular
Oliver Reign - very very popular and Reign seems a bit try hard. Oliver Theodore, Oliver Elijah etc would be better

Olympe Esme - I'm not keen on Olympe. I've met a few Olympias over the years and they've all been very bratty princesses so that puts me off probably. Esme is ok.
Harper Grace - I don't like Harper. It seems very popular (thanks to the Beckham's) but I don't know why. Also Grace is the most popular middle name (along with Rose and May) so there could be a lot of girls with the exact same name.
Summer Mae - I don't like Summer personally and again would never go with the May/Rose/Grace middle names
I love the name Alice but not sure of a middle name to go with it? Alice is lovely though popular. How about Alice Charlotte, Alice Summer, Alice Olympe?

TracyMosby · 14/04/2022 10:48

Middle names arent important. Thy are not used. Mainly even known. Also, a lot of your choices are very, very popular.

Louis as in louie or lewis? The louie pronunciation is much better.
Theodore - good as a first name.
Elijah - great.
Isaac Jude - both popular. Isaac far more so.
Oliver Reign - Oliver was number one name for years. There will be at least two in his class.

Girls :
Olympe Esme - great. My favourite by far.
Harper Grace - great
Summer Mae - not so great. Again, very popular. Especially mae as a middle.

AnnaSW1 · 14/04/2022 10:53

I like Louis but there's always a pronunciation issue with it. Summer mae doesn't sound good at all putting a season and month for a name it's a bit cheesy.

charliechops85 · 14/04/2022 11:00

I love Louis Theodore

For a girl.. Alice Charlotte is beautiful 😍

Aorh · 14/04/2022 11:16

Louis Theodore, Isaac Jude - both lovely

Elijah Evander, Oliver Reign - both perfectly nice first names, not personally keen on the middles but if you want to go for something a bit more out there but not sure about doing it as a first (which it would seem is a little pattern) you can do so safe in the knowledge that the more unusual name is going to come up so few times, it isn’t going to cause your child any problems.

Not a big fan of your girl’s names apart from Alice, which I love!
