It's time to share some names...

[Taurean]

I can't keep our selection of names to myself any more so I'm sharing with you guys and welcome all opinions!

We don't know what we're having so we have a few names of each. I'm hoping to scale the lists back to three of each and then we'll see what suits Tarko best when we finally meet!

Boys: middle name will be Ash or Matthew
Oliver
Isaac
Joshua
Hamish

Girls: middle name will be Elsie
Soraya
Isobel
Jazlyn
Addison
Lylah
Lexi

[Manhattan]

I love all the names you've picked so far, but my short list would be

-Boys
Joshua
Hamish

-Girls
Addison
Isobel

Good luck

[Lisa]

I love Oliver Matthew and Lylah Elsie

[The[cookie]Doctor]

I think

Oliver Ash
Isaac Matthew

Addison Elsie
I love Lexie but it the 'e' sounds is too overdone with Elsie.

[*Ang*]

I like Addison and Isaac best out of the names that you have picked.

[Miss J]

I like Isaac and Hamish best for a boy. Personally I wouldn't use Ash as a middle name with either Joshua or Hamish though - too many sh sounds for my liking.

For a girl I like Lylah/Lila or Lexi. I agree with cookiemonster about the Lexi Elsie thing too.

[~Kim~]

I think

Oliver Ash
Isaac Matthew

Addison Elsie
I love Lexie but it the 'e' sounds is too overdone with Elsie.

My thought exactly

[Taurean]

Good point about Lexie and Elsie - they don't flow all that well. Elsie is a definite though (my nans name and gorgeous step-grans name) so we may have to wipe Lexi off the list. Although, you rarely say the full name anyway so it might still be ok. Lexi is just so cute!

Thanks so much for the feedback girls! Keep it coming!!!

[Arimeh]

I love Addison - but I'm biased - Addisyn is one of Miss M's middle names

I like Soraya

And I like Hamish Matthew for a boy out of your list

[Pinny-mum]

I love strong boys names and think Oliver Matthew is my pick!

For girls I like Soraya as the name not only is beatiful but also obvioulsy means alot to you two as a couple.

I think you are having a boy FYI ( not that this is a poll)

[sangie]

I think Soraya Elsie is beautiful and its so nice that it has special meaning to you

Out of your boys names my favourite is Oliver, but they are all nice! Good luck deciding!

[Pooley]

Lime Slice- Have only had 2 Charlotte's so far... Both are adorable. So that's a tick for Charlotte from me!!

[Taurean]

He he he! Any reason why Pinny or just a stab in the dark?! LOL

I'm pretty glad Oliver and Hamish are winning the votes as they are our two faves. Oliver more than Hamish actually. DH and I always shorten names so Oli sounds great too. And Pooley, thanks for the tip on the 'J' names as stupid as it sounds, I was looking for a reason to scratch Joshua off the list. I've always loved it but it is such a common name, has been for years really.

So glad to hear most of you like Soraya too. I think it is gorgeous and DH is actually A-OK with this 'different' name.

This has really helped heaps! Thanks so much girls!

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.

[Taurean]

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

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

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!

[JellyBean]

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

Soraya/Siraya Elsie definitely I say!

XX

[Alipralli]

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!

[Taurean]

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!
