ellymouse's baby name shortlist

[ellymouse]

Hello everyone, I'm 4 months pregnant and really struggling with boys names in particular. I think I've settled on Madeleine for a girl but boy's names are so hard! You have to be careful that it's not too common or too out there. I fell in love with Rafferty but my husband is putting his foot down and Braden seems the favourite. What do you think of Braden? Can you think of a good middle name for Braden?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Boys
Braden
Finley
Malachy
Rafferty

Girls
Madeleine
Molly
Polly

ps farran/farren is pronounced fair-an

Boys
LOVE LOVE LOVE Rafferty and Malachy. LOVE Finn too, but more Finnian or even Finnegan, rather than Finley.

Really don't like Braden - sorry. Not keen on Farren either...

Girls
agree that the top girl's name is Madeleine... not WILD about the other 2.

Good luck

Love all your names EXCEPT Braden. No style, no class, sounds... how can I put this without saying the word... gah I'll say it anyway... chavvy. (sorry).
