Any ideas? I really like Alice at the moment but am struggling enormously to think of another girl name that goes, or indeed any boy names. The boy name shortlist was about 40 names long last time around but now I'm finding myself turning away previously favoured names and unable to think of any pairs that fit.

Prefer traditional / established names - nothing wacky or made up. Don't mind if very common, don't mind if a little passé or (slightly) unusual just as long as it's an actual name. No hurry though as am due in December!

Thanks in advance folks.

Alice and....

Jessica
Charlotte
Emily (actually really like this combo)
Olivia
Georgia/ Georgina
Annabel

Boys (any combination of with above)

Thomas (particularly like with Annabel)
William
Matthew (really like with Charlotte)

Any of the biblical type names go well with others I think

Luke
John
Isaac (although not with Jessica)

Probably not that helpful as you have been thinking for a long time and have probably considered all of these already and discounted for one reason or another.

Thanks guys. bigdonna - I really like Rya but boyfriend does not. Ditto Victoria - but I have a cousin Victoria (having said that I have a cousin Jimmy too but it's more of a generic name so less of an annoyance really). I love Joseph, LOVE it, but I don't think I could bring myself to have two siblings with the same initial. I'm so anal about that. Christ knows my, it's my one OCD-ish foible. Shame though because I really like Aimee (not keen on the spelling though, prefer Amy). Like Catherine, Charlotte, Zoe and Georgine lots as well.

fizzpops - thanks to you too, lovely names! Unfortunately Matthew's a no - James was going to be Matthew and then one of my cousins gave birth to a little Matthew when I was about halfway through my pregnancy. LOVE Thomas and William, I think they were on our longlist last time around and will be added to this one I think! Adore Charlotte, Emily, Annabel and Jessica too.
