Baby boy due soon...need a name

[CinderellaRach]

Hi mn's I have an Ellis James and due ds2 in 2 months.Please help me decide on a name!!
This is my shortlist:

Remy
Reef
Rafael(nn Rafe/Raffa)
Xavier
Brody
Brogan
Beau
Alessio(nn Ali)
Joshua(Josh)
Danny
Jesse
Harry

We like Alexander as a middle name but won't go with some of the above!!

Thanks

Oh sorry one more that is an option:Finn.
Thanks

I like Alexander best out of all of them (sorry!) so would go for that as a first name and choose a different middle name.

Xavier, Danny or Harry in that order.

But you can't have Xavier unless you or dp is French.

I rather like Reef and think it goes nicely with Ellis. Reef Alexander is nice.

Finn

Finn Alexander sounds great.

I have a son called Finlay so I am biased ;)

Joshua, Harry (if short for Henry) and Danny (if short for Daniel).

Just watch what the initials spell if you go for a middle name beginning with a vowel

I really like Beau but not sure if it goes with Alexander, it sounds a bit like your saying Bwalexander IYSWIM.

I think Ellis and Brody sound good together.

Finn, Jesse, Remy and Javier/Xavier would be my favourites from there.

Finn definitely my favourite, plus works very well with Finn Alexander.

Remy -- love
Reef -- reminds me too much of reefer
Rafael -- nice, goes well with Ellis, I like Rafe as a nn
Xavier -- nice
Brody -- makes me think of 'broody'
Brogan -- Brog is Irish for shoe and that's what I think of, or brogue meaning Irish accent
Beau -- nice
Alessio -- too close to Ellis; same letters/sounds rearranged
Joshua -- meh
Danny -- nice
Jesse -- too girly
Harry -- too ordinary compared to Ellis
Finn -- nice

I also like Leo and Vaughn

Xavier is the only one I would choose from your list, and certainly the one that goes best with Ellis.

You can of course use Xavier even if neither of you is French.

Hmmm...Finn, Joshua, Jesse, Harry or Xavier

I think

Ellis and Remy

and

Ellis and Beau

sound/feel the best together.

Thanks for the feedback.Very helpful!

With Ellis, I'd avoid another name with 's's. Personally I love Remy and Rafe, and think both go well with Ellis.

Thanks annasmami
