WDYT we go with?

[skybie]

i so hate having a DF with a poo surname!!
DF and the girls surname is Daly(daily)
Since DD1 was just a blasty we've loved Jackson, but theres now a few Jacksons in our immediate and non immediate circles so we've gone off it. but we both love Jack on its own. But Jack Daly sounds like a made up name kinda like John Citizen!
We've always loved Oscar aswell so have informally decided that if we ever have a boy it'll be Oscar Jack Daly. but i'm worried itll eventually come back and bite us in the butt because we preffer Jack more than Oscar.

For a girl We've informaly decided on Grace but a middle name has us thrown, i'd love to use Adele but Grace Adele Daly seems too much of a mouthfull, i would dearly love to use Adele as a first name though..
So our second choice is Grace Meryn Daly.
What do u girls think, are the names too made up or too much of a mouthfull?

Our other girls are Charlotte and Isabelle.

For me Harrison was my absolute number 1 and went soooooo well with our girls, but no DF's ex from god knows when had the surname Harrison and he wouldnt have a bar of it!!
Feel free to throw alternatives at me too!

I actually think you're being too harsh on the surname and I don't mind any of the combos you've suggested.

Jack Daly sounds fine to me! Personally I prefer Oscar but if you prefer Jack then go with it.

I also prefer Adele but in any case I think Grace Adele Daly sounds good too.

She said it too well! I agree!

have i missed something skybie

with the boys name...have you gone though older family members? thats how we've sorted out bundys name should they pop out as a boy. as for girl...DH got that from a guy he worked with his DD - strangely enough DJ got his name from that guy
if you want a baby names book i have one you can have, that has some interesting names in it!

[Party-of-five]

I love all your names i like Oscar and Isabelle the best
I ummed and aahhed for months about naming DD and I very nearly didnt because of our last name but now Im so so glad I still named her Milly because she really is a Milly
You will pick the right name for your baby

[skybie]

Lol Dansta, no u havent missed anything! just being super organised for something different! we had both the girls picked out b4 they were concieved and its very odd for us to be trying for a baby with no name yet. but when i have news dnt worry u will be getting a very excited txt msg.

Thanks for ur input girls, its such a tricky thing!! finding names that 'go' with ur other kids, making sure its a name that wont cause to much teasing ect.
i think our reasons for avoiding jack are probably more relevant to our generation more than bubs generation so it probably wont be an issue.

i only just thought of this i guess Adele Daly wouldnt be forever for her, it'd change once she married

Grace daly makes me thunk of daily grace

Jack daly is nice

[skybie]

Pandora, interesting point, being non religious it never occured to me, will take it on board.
Meow ive always had a gripe with it! i always dreamed of having a bailey, but bailey daly is just never going to happen!!!

[feeb]

I like all your names.

love Jack and Oscar

Grace i like but dont think it flows as we as charlotte or isabelle with Daly.

damm that you cant use Harrison as its an awesome name!!!!!!!

Good luck

If you love Jack, use it!

I regret not using the name that I love and giving it to DD as a middle name. Kids grow into their names so even if you think it sounds a bit funny, it wont after a little while. It will just be his name and sound perfectly normal!

Good luck hun, its hard this name game but if you have a name you love then you can't lose.
