Girls:
Iris Jolene
Juno Irene
Sabrina June
Anya Lauren

Boys are even harder:
Adam
Leon
Rio
Lukas
Fabian

@Luredbyapomegranate

Sabrina June or Fabian Lucas

Iris Jolene
Juno Irene
Sabrina June
Anya Lauren

Of this lot I’d go for Sabrina June - lovely and both fairly unusual. Iris is lovely but so overused, Juno pretty popular, Anya ok but dull. Of the middle names Jolene is awful, Lauren dated, Irene quite nice as long as pronounced properly (Eye-ree-nee)

Lois, Ines, Selene (Sell-ee-nee), Ismene (Iz-mee-nee), Ione (Eye-oh-nee). Serena, Clio might be others

Boys are even harder:
Adam - nice enough
Leon - nice but very overused
Rio - NO. naughty boys name.
Lukas - nice, I’d spell it Lucas. It’s v popular.
Fabian - lovely I’d go with this

Others - Lucian, Cassian. Rufus,,Jonas, Jerome, Andrew, Arnold, Aaron

If she’s planning to let her child be naughty he’ll be a naughty boy whether he’s called Leon or Rio or Lukas or Fabian. Such a silly thing to say. As if the moment the nurse scribbles ‘Rio’ on his little hospital bracelet he’ll immediately bite her and start kicking all the other babies.

Girls:
Iris Jolene - Love Iris, but not with Jolene. Dislike Jolene.
Juno Irene - Juno is nice, but don't like Irene.
Sabrina June - don't like Sabrina, but like June as a middle name
Anya Lauren - Anya is fine, but a little dull, Lauren dated in my opinion

I'd choose Iris Juno Surname or Iris June if it flows better

Boys are even harder:
Adam - nice
Leon - okay, quite cool and unusual
Rio - hate!
Lukas - nice
Fabian - really cool!

How about Cassian for a boy?

Anya, Iris, Leon, Fabian all lovely!

I think Anya June sounds pretty.. and I like the name Lukas :)

Iris Jolene - Nice though Iris does seem popular right now
Juno Irene - Not sure they work together, though Juno is a nice name
Sabrina June - not so keen
Anya Lauren - simple but nice, probably my favourite

Adam - lovely and oddly a bit neglected these days
Leon - nice
Rio - a bit tacky
Lukas - Prefer it spelt with a 'c' unless you/DH are from background where it's spelt that way
Fabian - could be nice, depends what surname is I think. One of those names that sounds better with 'simple' surname but might be a bit much with an unusual one

I think of Sabrina the Teenage Witch so Sabrina is a no from me. I love Iris. Anya and Juno are alright.

Fabien is easily my favourite from your boys list. I dont mind Lukas either. Adam is dated. Leon is ok. Not keen on Rio at all.

ButterRose · 07/05/2022 14:27

Iris Jolene or Iris Celine
Lucas Fabian or Adam Leon

I like Anya Lauren and Adam
