I have shortlisted the following and would like thoughts please;

Asher - DH thinks it sounds girly but I like that is classic (biblical)

Aston - reminds me of Aston in Birmingham one of the roughest towns! Don’t know if this is silly?

Ashton - both quite like but is it a bit of a mouthful?

For girls;

Sienna- lovely name just worry it’s a bit popular and overused

Dhillon - we both love but worry she’d resent us if constantly mistaken for a boy?!

We also don’t want a chav name!! I don’t think any of these are chavvy but if they are please be honest?!!

Ashton and Sienna.

I think Dhillon with that spelling is a bit pretentious and try-too-hard, and she will constantly be correcting misspellings. Dylan with the normal spelling is OK.

Back to the drawing board we came up with Carter for a boy, any thoughts?

Jasmin maybe for girl?

I like Asher. I'm not keen on the girls names myself.

I like Jenson.

Jasmine is beautiful (I’d probably spell it with an E like the flower as that’s the far more popular way if you are in the UK - then she’s less likely to have to spell her name).

Carter isn’t my personal cup of tea - it’s not horrible and he’ll fit in with his peers fine (I know a toddler Cooper, Spencer etc). But I do prefer the sound of other surnames if that’s your taste - such as Bennett, Sullivan, Callahan, Clark, Heath, Hadley, Brody, Fraser, Lewis etc. But at least it’s not a “Son” name - I always secretly want to ask if Jenson’s dad is John, Harrison’s is Henry etc 🤣
