Please tell me that I can use these names ...

[cheekster]

Boy - Rafe

Girl - Thea

But wait, our surname is Smith.

I love both names soooooo much and cant think of any other names I love as much, but I have a feeling that youre going to say they sound crap with our surname.

go for a longer middle name and they are both fine with Smith. Thea very nice. Rafe not my cup of tea but its not my baby!!

Sorry. I really dislike both of them. And I don't think they go with you surname.

Well, you did ask .......

I'm sitting here saying it over and over and don't seem to be having any problems with Thea Smith. Thea nicer than Dorothea IMO, and much nicer than Theodora.
