    Shortlist, genuinely can't decide!

    I spoke to my Mum last night and she very much shot down alot of these suggestions haha, it was delightful, but I'm still no closer to choosing!

    Boy:
    Landon
    Bastion (Mum says it sounds like a Frenchman, makes me think of the Never Ending Story, awwwwww!)
    Dallas
    Teirnan/Tynan (pronounced Tar-nan)
    Luka
    Blair

    Girl:
    Lacey (which is not actually my real name, my name is Conor, big fail on my mothers part as clearly...I am a girl )
    Avalon/Ava
    Dot
    Abernathy/Abbie
    Blair


    HELP hahahaha I cannot even come close to choosing!!!!!
    Oh also middle names will be Isabella or William (both mine and the father's middle names)

    From your list I like:
    Landon
    Bastion (was on my list - never ending story did it for me too! - DH thought it was too much like Sebastian which for some reason he absolutely hates though.)

    Avalon or Ava - I really like Avalon but it's already in the family

    Eaxctly the reason I never told anyone the names we picked out - they can't say much once it's over & done with!!
    Bastion is my fav out of all of those!! I also liked Blair for both sexes, Landon, & Lacey.

    I think Luca is gorgeous and can be shortened to Luke if thats what your DS wants to be called later in life.

    I also love Lacey and Avalon/Ava

    Hahahah really?! How delightful! Isabella has been a family middle name for four generations and if bub is a girl it will be the fifth!

    Another fun fact is that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's children are named Connor and Isabella. They stole my name!!!!! Maybe I should name the baby Suri hahahaha

    Boy : Luka

    Girl : Lacey and Ava

    I never tell family the names I have picked they are to quick to shoot them down. Once there is a baby with the name they won't say anything.

    I like

    Blair and Ava

    I just find kids with tricky names will need to spell it out for people the rest of there lives.

    oh I love Landon and 2nd choice would be Bastion, for a buba girl I like Ava, good luck choosing! dh and I picked out 2 girls and 2 boys names 3 and a half years ago when we met so we know what we will be naming ours... It's a tough decision though isn't it

    Ok I like, Lacey Isabella and Blair Isabella for girls names and Dallas William And Bastion William for boys. I always found it easier to say the names with the middle name. Helped us pick ds' name when he came out, Noah Henry just sounded better than the other names we'd thought about

    Landon - not really a fan
    Bastion - lovely name!
    Dallas - makes me think of dodgy 80's tv show!
    Teirnan/Tynan - nice names but I wouldn't pronounce either of them as Tarnan (sorry!)
    Luka - gorgeous
    Blair - my fav!

    Lacey - my fav!
    Avalon/Ava - both gorgeous names
    Dot - I would prefer this as a nickname?
    Abernathy/Abbie - I think Abernathy Isabella is a bit of a mouthful!
    Blair - I prefer Blair as a boys name

    Ive tried to be honest with opinions of each name (sorry to be blunt!)
    My picks are in bold
    HTH!

    Argh it's so hard picking names!

    For boys I like:
    Bastion - I really like this. It does make me think of the phrase "The last bastion" eg the last wall, the last resort but I don't think many people would think of that. I'm into words, so I'm think I'm the odd one out there, but just wanted to give you a heads up. It's not a bad conotation in a name!

    Teirnan - I like this, but I'm used to it being pronounce Tear (as in cry) - nan. For the pronouncation given I might go with the spelling Tairnan?? Not that it really matters, depends if you like names to be spelt the way they sound, I don't think it matters!

    For girls:
    Abernathy - that is a really awesome name. I might add it to my own list! ! Do you pronounce it Ab-er-nath-ee or Ab-er-neigh-thee?

    Dot - Love this too.

    Good luck!

    Good luck! xx
