    girls name and boys name

    Hi to all, I am new to this site. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with our 2nd child. However, I have been going through the names list and cant decide on one since I love 'em all. My daughter's name is Mia Amelia Lea. Just love Mia and my fiancee loves Amelia. My mother's name is Lea, so all combined.

    I would like either a boy or girl that sounds good with big sister's name. Here are the names I like so far.. Feel free to add any classic names. Girls... Isabella, Olivia, Sienna, Isla, Esme or Esmeralda (my grandma), Ruby (my great grandma), Scarlett. Boys.... William, Lucas, Noah, Riley, Daniel (my grandpa), Samuel, Isaac, Terry (uncle), Dean, Jude (dad's middle name). Thanks!
    Sienna Olivia Ruby/Lea
    Scarlett Olivia Lea (think would be nice for them to have one name in common)

    Noah Riley Jude

    Ok I actually like all of your names on the list! However my favourite girls name is Olivia Florence May - it has a nice ring to it, it is beautiful and classic, sounds great for a baby, chid, teen and adult, and having a different number of syllables in each name seems to work well.

    Boys I like Samuel Jude the best! Why? Well I just think it is a great name, goes well with Mia, he can be Sam, Samuel, Sammy etc and sounds better than Noah for an adult name (just my opinion sorry, I like the name Noah but Samuel sounds nicer). I think that Alexander goes better with Noah as a middle name though.

    Hope that helps

    Hi from another newbie I'd just like to say you have gorgeous taste in names! I love most of the ones on your girls list. My favourites are Sienna, Ruby and Olivia in that order; Esmeralda is a beautiful choice as a middle name and continues the tradition of naming after family members. I would suggest, out of the names you've chosen so far:

    Sienna Isla
    Ruby Isabella
    Olivia Esmeralda

    I would recommend against putting Isla and Esme together as you get "Isle Esme" connotations from Twilight... -_- ... combined with Isabella on your list, that could lead to Twilight-overload!

    If you wanted some other choices, I love Charlotte, Chloe, Cassandra, and Grace/Gracie. All of those would sound lovely with Mia

    Out of the boys, my favourites from your list are Lucas, Noah and Samuel, all with Jude as a middle name. You are lucky to have so many great names in your family! My children will be stuck with Barry and Paul as grandfathers... ho hum...

    Just a few weeks ago, we found out our bub's sex... Its a little boy! I like Olivia Florence May the best, but still love the names Ruby and Gracie. We wouldn't decide on a boy's name yet. I'm now 31 weeks, not much time to decide.

    We are considering again, making another draft list for boys. I think picking a boy's name is harder than girls. So here are our list...

    - Alexander
    - Riley
    - Lucas
    - Samuel
    - Charlie
    - James

    I would love to know what you think of each name and feel free to suggest any more classic strong name that is suitable either for a boy or a man. Would be nice to know what combos you can come up with that I haven't thought of.

    Thanks for your time ladies

    Alexander - I like it. It really is quite a strong name.
    Riley - Loove the name Riley, I hadn't thought of it for my own list (that I'm making for #2, whenever he or she decides to be conceived) so I'll be stealing that
    Lucas - Not such a big fan of Lucas, it's nice though.
    Samuel - Don't tell my husband, but the reason I don't want to name our pet mouse Sam is that I want to name one of my sons Samuel.
    Charlie - Nah, too plain for me, I think. And what if Queen Liz pops her clogs sometime soon and people think you've named your son after Prince Charles?
    James - Again, too plain for me. Plus DH's boss is named James

    More names you might like:
    Scott - Bit obvious why I like this name, but I swear, I liked it long before I met DH!
    Jake/Jacob
    Gavin
    Brent
    Lance
    David
    Warren
    Kenneth/Kenny
    William/Bill
