    Oliver Matthew sounds great!!
    Joshua Matthew also sounds nice.

    I actually dont think Ash sounds good with any of these names.

    Girls: middle name will be Elsie
    Lila is lovely. I would spell it that way as it looks neater and classier. Lila Elsie is sweet.

    Thanks Mumtobe I like the sound of Matthew as a middle name too (it's my maiden name, sort of) but Ash is DH's initials. I think he'd be happy with either though.

    That spelling of Lila is really cute - thanks for the tip!

    I think that either Oliver Ash or Oliver Matthew sound great.

    Soraya/Siraya Elsie definitely I say!

    How is Soraya pronounced?

    My first thought are So-RAY-ah?

    But then I saw Siraya suggested, and I want to pronounce it like the country name - Syria...

    I'm so confused....

    I've also heard that about J boys names too BTW...

    LOVE Elsie for the girls middle name! So cute!

    ETA: ttcanxiety - that's because Addison is traditionally a boys name, meaning "son of Adam", but is becoming more popular as a girls name. Just like my DD's name - Emerson ("son of Emery")!! But who cares as long as it cute, and fits what ever sex you want it to! As long as you aren't naming a little girl Keith or Bruce or something!

    Hi Alipralli! You got it right the first time, SOR-AY-A. Good point about spelling it with an 'i', it could be easily confused.

    Soraya Elsie - it's really, really growing on me...unless Tarko is a boy! For some reason I'm very girl focussed though. Mothers intuition? God knows! LOL!

    Hey Taurean,
    Lovely name selection - i find it interesting that your boys names are quite conservative and the girls names are really unique. I do love the name Ash - or even Asher, but Matthew is very classic. Oliver Matthew would be my pick.
    Sounds like you are sorted with Soraya Elsie too - fast work
    Are you planning on telling family your names, or waiting until Tarko is born?
