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!!

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....

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!!

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.

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.
