    Both boy and girl name decisions- cant pick!

    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!

    I have a Ruby and a Sienna and my best friends daughter is Scarlett. I love them as they have a timeless feel.
    I love Riley. I have an Aiden too if that helps

    I love RUBY and ISABELLA but i think i prefer Isabelle, you could have Ruby Isabelle?

    I love William as this was going to be DD1's middle name if she had of been a boy, she was going to be Tyler William...
    I also like Jude... what about Jude William?

    Sorry prob no help... have fun picking.

    You like a lot of the girls names that I like
    My faves from your list are: Isla, Sienna, Olivia in that order
    I think Scarlett sounds great with Mia although I'm not a huge fan of Scarlett. I think it's a pretty name but it just doesn't tickle my fancy !
    Esme is growing on me too. I would spell it Esmae though.

    Some Suggestions
    Ivy, Hazel (my grandma & Nana), Lydia, Eloise, Olive, Lilian/Liliana, Ava, Paige, Claire

    For boys from your list I like Riley & Lucas.
    Suggestions: Hayden, Cameron, Aaron, Justin, Rowan, Cooper, Archer, Carter

    BTW I love Amelia - it's number 1 on my list but DH refuses to even consider it

    Thanks guys, keep them coming!! Love too many boy names to make my mind up. So far I am putting down on the paper is Samuel Jude. Thinking about Riley, Lucas, Isaac, Jacob, Mason, Owen and Daniel. Sister Mia and Sam??

    Easier with girl names... Ruby Isabelle, Esme Ruby, Ruby Esme, Ruby Rose, Esme Isabelle, Isabella Rose. Still like Olivia, Isla, Sienna.

    Vote vote???

    I like William Mason, William Dean or William Issac for a boy (I have my own little William )

    For a girl, I like Scarlett Rose, Sienna Rose and Isabella Esme

    Good luck!

    Congratulations on your pregnancy.
    My DD is Maya.
    I also love Lilliana and Danya.
    Out of your choices, I like Isabella.
    DS is Daniel. So i obviously love that name.
    Lucas would have been our second choice.

    I'm just going to be honest and say, I really don't like Esme, Isla, Dean or Isaac. No offence, just my personal opinion. I just don't find they have a nice ring to them.

    Definitely don't do Ruby Rose. Unless you're ok with everyone thinking you named your daughter after a celebrity.

    I can't really help you with name combos as I don't do middle names. I find most combos sound weird. But it also depends on your last name whether the names will sound good. I general, I think a name sounds more balanced if the first and middle name have diffferent lengths. So either short name + long name or long name + short name. If both names have the same amount of syllables, it often sounds a bit boring.

    Maybe
    Riley Benjamin or Noah Benjamin
    I think Ruby Isabella sounds a little more balanced than Ruby Isabelle
    Olivia Rose
    Ruby Esmeralda, Esmeralda Ruby
    Esmeralda Lilly, Lilly Esmeralda
    You can still call her Esme.

    After doing a lot of thinking, I need a bit more help on this. Could you tell me which first name you like best, it will help greatly with my decision.

    My picks for girls are Olivia and Ruby. Esme is beautiful, but a lot of people are commenting how that name sounds very nanny.

    Names combos are...

    Olivia Florence May
    Olivia Ruby May
    Ruby Esmeralda May

    May is a family name so I would love to add to the combo names, since my daughter already have three combos.

    My boy names picks are...

    Noah Alexander (last name has letters o, d, a and r.. maybe this is it?)
    Noah Daniel
    Samuel Jude

    Any suggestions that could help.

    Thanks everyone xxx

    I absoutely LOVE Olivia Rose May for a girl - that just flows so nicely

    For a boy, I like Noah Daniel, that's what sticks out the most at me... Good luck!

    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

    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
