WOOHOO have narrowed it down: HELP! :)

[henrys7thwife]

DH & I have both narrowed it down to 2 names each, and 2 names that we both kind of agree on, but would prefer our names. We have been completely deadlocked for months, so we have put it down to votes (from you, and also from family/friends). No idea of sex, first time it will be a surprise!!

Other childrens' names:
Noah Charlie
Isla Alice
Eleanor Catherine
Isaiah

My choices:
Girls - Auden or Antonia
Boys - Declan or Sebastian *Please note we don't particularly want another Old Testament name, but it's in the 'agree' pile

His choices:
Girls - Matilda or Clementine
Boys - Blake or Bailey

Agree (reluctantly)
Girls - Alexandra or Daisy
Boys - Micah or Levi

Like most of those - would (probably) plump for Daisy and Declan (but I love Sebastian and Clementine too).

Antonia and Sebastian for me.

Matilda and Declan

Cali, I like to honour W.H. Auden.

*would use it to honour WH Auden...I dont honour WH Auden in a variety of other ways like a devotee...

From Op choice:

Girl - Matilda or Daisy
Boy - Sebastian

MAtilda
sebatian

Cali - you're entitled to your opinion! I didn't have a problem with it as it's like Eden just with an 'Au' instead of 'E' and honours someone I like. But take your point (which is also consequently DH's point...)

Matilda
Sebastian

Eden is pretty. Auden sounds frumpy.

I love:
Matilda, Clementine and Daisy for a girl.
for a boy I like Declan and Sebastian.

Really not keen on Micah and Blake and Bailey are very chav.

Alexandra.
Can't vote for a boy's name as I don't like any of them.

Matilda

Sebastian

I like your dh's choices for a girl, Matilda or Clementine are both lovely.

Avoid Auden however much you like the poet; she'll not thank you

And I like your handsome choice of Sebastian for a boy. Dh's ideas for a boy's name seem out of keeping with your other dcs' names.

All girls names nice except Auden

Blake and Bailey are horrid

Declan - no opinion
Sebastian - like but hate Seb
Micah and Levi - like but worry that Levi sounds like (although know it is obviously biblical) a Harley type of name.

If your surname is Aary, don't use Auden.

I like matilda and sebastian best, second choices would be alexandra and micah.

Looking at your other girls names, I think Matilda (but it does seem a very popular name at the moment) or possibly Daisy. I really like Micah, but think it might overdoo the OT theme, I also like Sebastian. I don't really understand Auden (great poet) as this is a surname surely? I would also assume it was a boys name, although I quite like the sound of it.

For a girl, Alexandra or Antonia.

For a boy, Sebastian or maybe Micah. I know a Micah and tbh, it always sounds like Mike.
