    Girls
    Meeka - I love it, but maybe people might think you named her after the singer Mika?

    Anakie - Anarchy?

    Zenrah - Ooh, loving this one!

    Chyna (pronounced China) - Another singer, Chynna Phillips

    Arwen - Gorgeous

    Zahlea (pronounced Zah-leah) - Beautiful

    Sati - Loving it

    Lexie - Very nice

    Airlia (pronounced Air-leah) - This is beautiful!!

    Arcadia - Sci fi name?? I'm sure I've heard it as a place name, but I love it!

    Arnleif - Not quite sure how to pronounce this one, I'm assuming ahn-layf? Gorgeous!

    Shylar - Ooh, very nice!

    Boys
    Zephryn - This is very close to a Star Trek name, Zephram. I love it, just wanted to bring it up, not sure if you're a Trekkie

    Macarian - I don't really like this one, it reminds me of Macarena

    Jasper - Lovely, but seems a bit boring against your DD and DS!

    Cypher - Ooh, like the Matrix!!

    Not sure if you were looking for so much honesty? Let me know, I can easily edit my post

    yea as much as jasper is a lovely name, ur children have such unique, unusal and awesome names, that i think jasper is to plain and common for ur style, so i think it would get lost, iykwim.

    Just wanted to add - I also think the 'z' names go better with your Dd & DS. Not sure if that matters or not, but yeah

    Nah mate, I wouldn't take your name - you leave it for next time round

    Sunflowa - honesty is what I want mate- everything helps!! And no, I'm soooo far from being a trekkie.. LOL

    I'll have to count what is winning - but I think its Zephryn and Zahlea

    Those are the ones I like.
    My favourites for each gender are Shylar and Zephryn

    Aww.... thanks for sharing with us Mel

    These are my favourites because I think they go best with your DS and DD's names. Yes, I think Jasper is not unusual enough and it needs to start with a different letter to A or M (but that's just my silly opinion of course):

    Zenrah, Zahlea, Shylar (I really like this one), Zephryn, Cypher.

    Goodluck!

    I like Zahlea (pronounced Zah-leah) and Lexie.
    I think i would spell Lexie as Lexi though IMO so she's not always saying... theres an E on the end... lol
    I might be biased about Zahlea though as my name is Leah... lol

    I really like Jasper i think it's very cute but may be becoming very common due to twilight!

    Good luck with your choices, am still trying to narrow mine down!

    Thanks guys

    I've counted up the votes - lots of people like Zahlea!! LOL

    DH came back and told me that he likes Zahlea and Shylar and is "intrigued" by Airlia - he likes that its "different".

    Zahlea is one of my favs too, but I'm wondering if its tooooo common because Zahli is a pretty common bubs name now.

    Airlia - we considered that pronounciation for Arlea but it reminded me too much of Airlie Beach kwim?
    But if I had heard of it, Arlea could have been a Zahlea I love that one.
