Pick between these names for me

[MumOfBaby]

Hi all, not pregnant yet, trying for a baby now though. Very excited, and DP and I have already decided on a boys name. We'd like to have a girls name planned out too. A bit sad, but each to their own eh?

We like the following:

Isla Jules [G surname]
Zia Jules [G surname]
Brooke Jules [G surname]
Blair Jules [G surname]

What do you think? Or do you have an alternative we might like in the same jist as those names?

Wow thumbwitch that's interseting!
Think Marnie and Darcey are both lovely by the way.

Isla is the only one of original list that's acceptable to me! Marnie is sweet but it all rides on what surnames is really in terms of rhyming etc

I do agree that it's easier to stick to the simpler spellings of names - or your child is forever going to be spelling our his/her name to people.

Of all the names you suggest, I only really like Isla and Juliette. Isla is quite popular here (London) at the mo.

Kaidi-Lei is just dreadful IMHO!

If you like Isla, how about:
Iona
Elsa
Lana
Lara
Anya
?????????

Faith Juliet is lovely. Please pick that.

Marnie Mercedes Andrea Darcey.... blimey. Her parents should have picked Jane. Which I like btw!

I love Isla, it's so pretty

I like Zia. I know a Xia (Chinese girl - beautiful).

Faith is adorable. Such a pretty name.

Brooke, Blair - yuck!

Isla - meh.

Is Xia said Z-eye-a, Z-ee-a or Zsj-ee-a?

The last one being me trying to write how the French would say a J j-ee-a.

I'm taken with Xia/Zia, Faith and Hope at the moment.

The Xia I know is Zee-a

What about Xenia?!

That'd root out other Mumsnetters amongst your circle of acquaintance quickly enough!

I actually really like the name Xenia but the MN connotations are so strong. Imagine if you called your DD Xenia and she was a shy, sweet little thing who just wanted to stay at home and bake bread for her brood of babies?

ha ha! if that happened it'd be all your fault mrsMattie!!!

pmsl MrsMattie. Well, if it's true that people grow into their names, and you were to call a DD Xenia, then watch out!
