Not sure what we're having yet, but need to be prepared for both!! Please pick your fav from the boys and girls, we'd like to hear some opinions 😊

Girls:

-** Juliette Esme

-* Alessia Elouise (we like both names, but maybe these two sound too similar?* Maybe Louise instead?)

-** Delilah Louise
*
*
^^We have Louise down twice because it honours a family member, but it's not essential. We just thought it sounded nice with these two names.

Boys: *

-** Ethan Roman

-** Andre Alexander

-** Andre Emerson

-** Jacques Levi

Juliette and André

girlmama29 · 17/11/2022 20:28

My favourites from your lists are Juliette and Ethan, I'd pair it with Alexander though

hodgehedge · 17/11/2022 20:30

Juliette but I think I'd spell it Juliet as it looks less frilly.

I like Alexander best out of your boy names. I don't think Ethan Roman goes particularly well with the double 'an' sound.

BabyYoZenZen · 17/11/2022 20:31

Juliette Esme is very nice and sounds classy!
Alessia is a bit too frilly and Elouise looks very wrong, shouldn't it be Eloise?
Really dislike Delilah and don't think it goes well with Louise as mn, it becomes a bit Delilahloulalala...

For a boy André Alexander is a great name!

FayCarew · 17/11/2022 20:38

Elouise is awful. Eloise and Louise are nice, as is Louisa.
Juliet is classic and lovely, Juliette is neither.
Delilah is IMO dreadful.
Alessia is ok but will get shortened
Esme is ok but is a man's name in France

Ethan is ok, lots will say Eeffun
Andre and Jacques only if French
Not keen on Levi or Emerson
Alexander is fine

FayCarew · 17/11/2022 20:40

Ethan Roman is a bit rhymey. Not keen on Roman.

staybyyou · 17/11/2022 20:48

Juliet (spelt like this) Esme and Andre Alexander

Gummibär · 17/11/2022 20:50

I prefer the Juliette spelling and pronunciation

fairycupcakes · 17/11/2022 21:20

Juliet (spelt like this) Esmé is lovely. Sounds very classy.

Ethan doesn’t go with Roman but Ethan Alexander would be great!

fairycupcakes · 17/11/2022 21:23

Gummibär · 17/11/2022 20:50

I prefer the Juliette spelling and pronunciation

Fairly certain they are pronounced the same. Interested to know how they aren’t if I’m wrong though! 😊

Mumofgirls2017 · 17/11/2022 21:55

Sorry to mash them up a bit but I'd love

Delilah Eloise
Juliet Eloise
Ethan Alexander

LulooLemon · 17/11/2022 22:00

Juliette Esme - lovely

Alessia** Louise - also lovely

Delilah Louise - no

Ethan Roman - no to both. Ethan sounds like Ether. Roman reminds me of Polanski.

Andre Alexander - nice

Andre Emerson - no

Jacques Levi - I like Levi. But Jacques will get a lifetime of misspellings if you are in the UK.

antipodeancanary · 17/11/2022 22:04

Working with what you've given, I'd go Juliet Louise and Ethan Alaxander

Luredbyapomegranate · 17/11/2022 23:36

Alicia Louise
also like Juliet Esme

Both nice, don’t think either are improved by the odd spellings. Alicia and Eloise are too much together.

Ethan Alexander.

Ethan Roman doesn’t go. Andre and especially Jacques don’t translate especially well, so unless you have a strong cultural reason I wouldn’t

Spookypig · 17/11/2022 23:57

I love Juliette and Eloise. Maybe even together although I’m not sure if they flow?
Juliette Eloise
Eloise Juliette

I don’t love any of the boys names except Alexander. Levi is quite cool. I’d maybe choose Levi Alexander or Alexander Levi

Spookypig · 17/11/2022 23:58

Agree about the spellings though. Juliet is classier than Juliette and Elouise looks like a typo.

FayCarew · 18/11/2022 09:05

@fairycupcakes - Juliette is Julie-ETTE, Juliet is JOOL-y-et. Like the difference between Janette and Janet

LadyEloise1 · 18/11/2022 09:24

Eloise of course.
Juliette is lovely too.

FayCarew · 18/11/2022 09:35

I know a Juliette and she gets called Julie a lot

fairycupcakes · 18/11/2022 09:55

FayCarew · 18/11/2022 09:05

@fairycupcakes - Juliette is Julie-ETTE, Juliet is JOOL-y-et. Like the difference between Janette and Janet

Ah, in any case in England the JOO liet version is nicer. The French version is lovely if it’s going to be pronounced how it would be in France which is unlikely here.

FayCarew · 18/11/2022 10:08

The french way of saying Juliette is pretty, but you won't get that pronunciation in the UK.

Eloise and Louise are not versions of the same name.

Gummibär · 18/11/2022 13:54

Fairly certain they are pronounced the same. Interested to know how they aren’t if I’m wrong though! 😊

Juliet = JOOL yet

Juliette = Jool- EE- ETT

The emphasis is on the second syllable with Juliette.

FayCarew · 18/11/2022 14:16

@Gummibär , no it's not. It is on the third syllable.
If the emphasis was on the 2nd it would be Joo-LEE-et (cf. Sophia, Maria)

Gummibär · 18/11/2022 14:34

Yes of course, I meant the last syllable Blush!

Gummibär · 18/11/2022 14:35

Like Jeanette!
