Do you prefer mine or my husband's names?

[Depakote]

Husband and I have finally made our final choices. But still, we are stuck, so please send tell me which ones do you prefer, be as honest as you want ( Not easily offended). We don't know the sex , and I am due at the end of this month.

His choice
A girl: Harper-Rose
A boy : Levi

My choices
G: Victoria
B: Owen

Which do you prefer ?

Victoria, none of the rest.

Rose and May are just filler middle names, especially hyphenated. Over used. Every other girl is Lily-May, Evie-Mae, Isla-Rose, Lexi-Mai, Ella-Rose. It’s boring and unoriginal.

Don’t like Harper Rose at all. For one thing the names will run together when spoken. But Levi is much nicer than Owen. So you each get one!

Girl: Victoria (although, full disclosure, I’m not all that keen on the name...)
Boy: Levi

Not keen on either girl name, but definitely like Levi for a boy.

Levi for a boy. And Rose for a girl. Can’t stand hyphenated names.

His sound chavvy (sorry to use that word).
That said! I'm not a fan of Victoria - I much prefer Rose, but not Harper-Rose.

Am I missing some cultural reference? How is Levi chavvy and cringe? Are the jeans that bad?

Love Owen. Hate Levi.
Not keen on the hyphenated names.
Harper is nice enough.
I like Victoria but not Vicky

Victoria and Levi

Clement?

Do you mean Clemency? (Or Clementine?)

Literally never heard Levi be associated with a serial killer

OP unfortunately it's about what both of you like. You can ask on Mumsnet but there will ALWAYS be people saying a certain name is either chavvy, posh, 'not on trend' etc. Wont please everyone and I found telling more people a name actually ends up in putting you off because there is always someone with a negative opinion of it

Not the hyphenated one.

Victoria & Owen definitely

Harper-Rose & Levi sound tacky / American (IMO)

Rose by itself however sounds nice, just dislike Harper as the first name & when Rose is added to another name

You definitely have much better taste although I’m not keen on any! Yours are a tiny bit better!

What about taking away the Harper and just having Rose?
And mix the two boys and have Lowen?

Victoria and Owen.

His choices are awful.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you dislike Owen?

I don’t dislike it, it’s just ok. It’s just like any other surname name, IMO.

I prefer the Eoin spelling. Although in my accent, there’s a dreadful sort of OWN pronunciation. Oh-en is much nicer

Could you both start again with names OP?

Your choices because I like traditional names. Your husband's choices are too out there for me. But it doesn't actually matter what I think. I am a random person on the Internet.

No. I am Clement as in Clément. It is a French name ( I am from a French speaking country) and it means merciful.

The feminine version is Clémence and Clementine means little Clémence. What turns me off about Clémentine is that it is also a fruit

The issue is, when I take him (if it's a boy) back to Belgium, people wouldn't know how to pronounce it. I'd even myself pronounce is E Oh E N

Rose is lovely. Harper is not. I'm not keen on anything hyphenated.

Owen is fine, Levi is fine.

Don't like Victoria at all.

Owen is a surname and a boy's name @TheDuchessOfMN , like James, Allen, George, Francis, Duncan, Graham and so on.

The more I read/think about , the more I like Rose. So we might compromise on that.

I really don't like Harper-rose. All the other are nice

Rose is beautiful. Or Rosa.

@KirstenBlest There is nothing wrong with any of those names (especially James, George and Francis) but generally, surname type names are a bit dull.
