Thoughts on our shortlists

Really struggling to find any names we love to add to our list to consider, but at the same time, not committing to either name on the lists either.

girls names: Zara is the front runner at the moment, also like Poppy and Lola. Have another daughter with a 2 syllable name and strong sounding.

boys names: only name we really like is Rafe. Until a thread on here about the name put doubt in our mind but we still think we both really like it and we both don’t hear what the thread suggested when we hear it, but it is still stopping us committing to it…

recently added Miller to the list and Jesse which we think we like.

other names I like but have reasons I can’t get past not to use include: Felix- cat/catfood, Casper- the ghost, Austin- too American? Jack- we like but it’s maybe not enough for us (hard to explain), Cooper- seems to now be a popular dogs name.

any thoughts or ideas would be more than welcome 🙂
