Hi all,
Lots of strong opinions on this board! Anyway, I decided to start a guaranteed non-offensive thread (well, hopefully anyway!) as this is a hypothetical situation but I promise I will take all suggestions seriously and file it all away for future use as and when it happens. It would also be a test of how good you all name experts are! DH and I are thinking of TTC-ing number 2 very soon. Don't care if it is a boy or girl. DS is Aidan. Our surname starts with R and end with 'ley'. So no names with the same end sound. For example, if DS had been a girl, our favourite girl name would have been Iris but it wouldn't have worked with the surname. Our son could have been an 'Oliver' but we didn't want a name that ended with a letter that the surname started with and the short form of Oliver 'Ollie' wouldn't have sounded good with our surname...
So what name(s) would you suggest for our next DS/DD? We like 'proper' traditional names (no made-up names) that aren't too popular (Aidan is in top 100 but bottom 50). Love names that end with the 'ah' sound like Aidan as it sounds good with our surname. I really love Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's new baby name - Seraphina. Also love Sophia (but probably too popular for us now).
Any suggestions? Let's see how good all your suggestions are! Thank you!
