    WDYT.. Honestly!

    ok so yesterday i announced that i am indeed expecting #2.
    For those of you ladies who read and commented on my post, you are slowly but surely helping me get past the guilt of being pregnant. (read my older posts for those who have no idea what im talking about).
    So anyway after alot of your kind words of wizdom me and DP sat down and threw names at eachother..
    i know its only early days and we have decided that we are going to keep the sex a secret but we thought no harm in looking at names so early! right?

    anyway... we dont have any middle names so if you ladies have ANY ideas throw em this way please!

    so for boys we like. ( do not hesitate on your opinions)

    Cruz.
    Jett.
    Felix.
    Milo.
    Ethan.
    Henry.
    Harrison.
    Chasen.

    girls we have (again do not hesitate on your opinions)

    Indi.
    Ayah.
    Asia.
    Alizae.
    Ayla.
    Brynn.
    Channing.
    Edyn.
    Bryony.
    Mia.
    Milla.
    Ruby.
    Charli.
    Sienna.
    Zayleigh.
    Immaliah.
    Imogen.
    Chelsea.
    Saige.

    such a longgggggg list..

    Cruz & Jett are my two fav boys names on your list.

    Ayla (pronounced ailah?) Ruby & Chelsea are my fav girls

    No idea on middle names, i like Grace as a middle name that goes with a lot of names IMO and is really pretty!

    I like Charli for the girls name, but that's for obvious reasons

    I actually really like Channing for a girls name! No idea what her nicknames would be...maybe shanny?

    For boys, I lurrrve all of them, but Chasen and Harrison are my faves.

    Okay, as per your instruction, I'm going to be totally honest with my opinions Of course, they're only my opinions and you don't have to listen to me - I'll try to keep the "bad" ones to a word or two

    Cruz. Yick.
    Jett. It's okay, does it suit your surname?
    Felix. Sounds kinda old-mannish, but otherwise alright.
    Milo. Nup.
    Ethan. Loooove this name! It was on my list, but I made the mistake of running it past my mum who hated it. Hence why we're keeping our set-in-stone boy's pick a secret until we have a boy
    Henry. Nice, but old.
    Harrison. Could work...
    Chasen. Nah, not a fan of this one.

    Indi. Spell it with a Y and I'll like it more.
    Ayah. I'm kinda 50/50 on this one...
    Asia. No.
    Alizae. How is it pronounced? I like how it looks, but how does it sound?
    Ayla. This is nice.
    Brynn. For some reason it reminds me of a food of some sort... But I don't know what lol
    Channing. Nah, too much of a surname for me.
    Edyn. Replace Y with E and it's better.
    Bryony. I like it!
    Mia. I love this name, I used it in a play I wrote (she was the only character to survive the whole thing )
    Milla. Nah...
    Ruby. Nice, very nice
    Charli. Oooh, I like it!
    Sienna. Nice.
    Zayleigh. Another one I'm not sure of...
    Immaliah. Nope.
    Imogen. Very pretty!
    Chelsea. I can't not like this name, I have a new cousin with it
    Saige. Hmmm... It's okay...

    Thanks for the reply ladies.
    My surname is Morrison...
    I know Harrison doesnt really suit it Harrison Morrison to many simular letters but we would idealy use Harry.
    I think Jett Morrison sounds about right.

    as for the Alizae it is pronounced alla-zay

    Alicia- I loveeee Cruz too. tbh thats my no 1 choice, DP no 1 is Henry
    i love Ethan but am finding it very very popular, a bit like Charli.

    we have also opted not to disclose our choice of names as when naming #1 we had massive amounts of negativity.

    I like Cruz, Jett and Ethan for boys. For the girls, I am fairly neutral.. I don't LOVE any of them but I don't HATE any of them either.. Instead of Chasen for a boy what about Chase for a girl.. I kinda like it..

    Ayah. (nice)
    Asia. (ok)
    Alizae. (like but prob short to ali which is quiet common)
    Ayla. (nice)
    Brynn.(different, could warm to this one!)
    Channing. (not sure)
    Edyn. (nice name, i love y's ad could get used to it spelt this way but actually like Eden better)
    Bryony. (Like the name but spelt Briohny or Briony)
    Mia. (too common)
    Milla. (nice)
    Ruby. (not a fan)

    Oh i know! thats why im very happy you said what you did. and because DP and her have several mutual friends and i cant escape the women,and to add insult to injury she thinks shes the best thing since slices bread, she would prob assume its after her hahaa.

    You have chosen some lovely names. I like...

    Felix, Ethan and Harrison.

    Bryony, Milla, Saige (my littler girls middle name is Sage).

    I was going to suggest Oscar but then I saw your DS's name I love the name!
    What about Oliver?

    I prefer common but not too common names so I have just written the first things that pop into my head then rearranged them in order of preference

    Boys

    Jett. - Let's fly Jetstar! Probably my fave though
    Ethan. Love it. Little bit too common
    Cruz. OK - Tom Cruise, Cruz Beckham Hmmmm.
    Harrison. Like it but definately not with your last name.
    Henry. OK, don't love it though
    Milo. - Yummm. Not as a name so much.
    Felix. - the cat. & Probably not the best name when you already have an Oscar.
    Chasen. Least fave.

    girls

    Imogen. - Love it - my number one pick from your list
    Milla. - I like it I love Milly.
    Edyn. - Pretty. I think I prefer the more common spelling Eden.
    Ayla. - Pretty but I prefer Isla.
    Sienna. - Love it - quite common now though
    Indi. - Cute.
    Mia. - Pretty but way to common ATM for my liking
    Ruby. - Like but not love - quite common
    Saige. - Like it but don't love it. It's a herb.
    Bryony. - Pretty
    Alizae. - Sounds pretty, but will it be hard to spell?
    Zayleigh. - Sounds pretty but I don't like the spelling - maybe Zaylee instead
    Immaliah. - Sounds pretty but I don't like the spelling - maybe Imalia instead
    Charli. - I'm more traditional & think of this one as a boys name. But I wouldn't pick it as a boys name because it is used as a girls name too often.
    Chelsea. - Like it but don't love it
    Ayah. - Sounds like it's missing something
    Asia. - OK but don't love it
    Brynn. - Don't like it.
    Channing. - Don't like it. Doesn't sound like a name.

    HTH
