Our baby names.. some advice needed

[mummato1]

Hi.. would love to know what you think about our choices of names.. and what sounds the best together. Our surname starts with G.. and I prefer short names as first names.

For a girl - Ivy is a family name that I def want to use..just not sure how yet. what do you think of the following:
Maya Ivy
Ivy Maya
Zara Ivy

Boys - I am totally stuck although middle name will be Alexander.. So far the only ones I like.. (but dont love) are
Finn Alexander
Jai Alexander
Liam Alexander

Any other suggestions would be great!!

[koru]

Ah name dilemmas - I hear you!
Ivy is just gorgeous - we know a little 5 year old Ivy and she's a delight - definately use it as a first name (cute and not very common)
Personally I like Finnthe best but they all 'roll off the tongue' well with Alexander....

[grub17]

i like ivy as a first name as well. second choice would be maya ivy.

but i wouldn't go with Finn just because of the initials it would create. since being married i've become a HO, you can imagine the tactless, rude jokes i get on that one. But i reallly like Jai.

good luck

oops grub! I didn't consider the initials - good point!

[mummato1]

Hehehehe - yes Grub17 I know what you talking about.. you just reminded me that DP and I had the same conversation a few weeks back and he was less than keen about the initials!!

[BekZ]

Go with the name you would like to say or hear more!! Because second names are often not used.

Ivy is very cute...Ivy Maya

I like Liam.

How about Jasper Alexander.

[New Dawn]

I like Ivy Maya and Liam

Ivy is GORGEOUS! Ivy Maya is cute, but I would probably have a longer middle, like:
- Ivy Madeline
- Ivy Arielle
- Ivy Evelyn

For boys, I think Lucas Alexander would be really cool.

[chickenlittle]

Well I am biased because I have an Ivy!!! And my 2nd daughter is May! So I would go Ivy Maya... he hee!
I love Zara too tho.

Good luck, boys names I find so much trickier!

[Papillon]

Not sure about the girls.. out of your option's id go Zara Ivy (then with your surname she would be ZIG aka ziggy for short - kinda cute!)

As for your boys..

LOVE LOVE

Jai Alexander G ... love it.. he would be JAG then

goodluck

[feeb]

Ivy maya is gorgeous.

What about for a boy

Ned Alexander
James Alexander
Josh Alexander
Ben Alexander
Alex Lewis
Lewis Alexander
Samuel Alexander
Jacob Alexander
Hunter Alexander
Kane Alaxander
Charlie Alexander

I second Grub's comment ... need to be so careful with initials (but then you have taken note of that already)

I like in order Liam ... and then Jai ... such great names you have there ... and i so love Alexander as a name too

I like Ivy & Maya as 1st names

[mummato1]

there are some good names there and funnily enough a lot of them are on my list I keep in my handbag!

DP and I were talking last night about using Ivy and Maya together, as I love both the names as first names so I am thinking I might have to save one for later. At the moment I am leaning towards Ivy if I have a girl, as I would like my nan to be around as it is my great grandmothers name and I know how much it would mean to her for me to use it.

So I think I need to think of something to go with Ivy..

hmmm Lucas Alexander, I really like that.. have added that to the list : )

[GlitterMum]

i luuuuuvvvvvv Jai Alexander.
That sounds so precious

[JellyBean]

I really like both Ivy and Maya for girls names - but I feel that Ivy Maya flows that little bit better somehow. Very pretty!

For boys I like Liam best from your choices. Boys names are so bl**dy tough!!

I adore Ivy, we had decided on Charli Ivy for a girl but alas the baby came with plumbing! We will definately use it in the future! Zara Ivy or Ivy Maya, both such a petty names! How about Nate Alexander or Ethan Alexander?

[first_time_mummy]

oh, they are lovely names.

I like Maya Ivy for a girl...


And the Liam Alexander for a boy.

Lovely choices by the way!!!
