    Planning a bub... WDYT of my names :)

    DH and I are trying for Bub #1 I know it's super early to be even thinking of names, but I work in Births statistics so I'm thinking about baby names everyday! As a result, my baby names list is huuuuuge but I've narrowed it down to my favourites below. I'm a girly-girl, so I tend to like really pretty romantic girls names... boys is a bit harder; Alexander has always been my favourite though with the nn Xander. Anyway, opinions please! Our surname is one syllable starting with S

    Skyler Elizabeth (also open to the spelling Skylar - opinions? And I love the nn Skye)
    Sienna Grace (not sold on Grace as a mn so open to suggestions )
    Sophia Alessandra
    Charlotte Isabella
    Cassandra Abigail
    Peyton Rose (again, not sold on Rose as a mn - what else goes with Peyton?!)
    Chloe Valentina
    Evie Aurelia (possibly Aurelia Evie... not sure yet)

    Alexander Jacob
    Xander Jacob
    Dominic Hunter
    Asher Thomas
    Gabriel Thomas
    Micah James

    I'm not going to be offended by people who hate the names; I'd rather people be honest with me now than giving my bub the name for life! So yeah, looking forward to what you all think. Thanks!

    i like some of your names - great collection...

    Girls my favs are Aurelia (my number one if this bub was a girl), Sophia, Chloe and Evie (all on my list! cept i had sofia)
    Dont like skyler, but do like just skye.
    Grace, rose and isabella are too common for me, so i wouldnt use them, even though they are nice names

    dont like Asher
    Xander is too common now unfort, although we liked it, we decided not to use it

    I like Charlotte, Peyton, Evie and Aurelia. I also like Skye and Sophie.

    I think Peyton Rose is lovely (although Rose is a popular middle name)
    I also think Evie Aurelia is very pretty.

    I love the name Asher... Asher Thomas is my favourite of your boys names.

    Skyler Elizabeth - Prefer spelling Skylar, Elizabeth isn't really my style..

    Sienna Grace- both pretty names, just quite popular so not sure if that's an issue?

    Sophia Alessandra- not my faves on the list..

    Charlotte Isabella- Do like charlotte, although again i've met a few little charlotte's recently I don't like Isabella...

    Cassandra Abigail - a no from me.

    Peyton Rose - Like Peyton... i would try choose another mn which is less common than rose to suit Peyton, but I have no suggestions just yet, sorry!

    Chloe Valentina- this is pretty and kind of sophisticated. Chloe is a bit too common for me, but they go nice together

    Evie Aurelia - I like this one.


    Alexander Jacob- nice strong names, i prefer Jacob as the first name?

    Xander Jacob- Nice!

    Dominic Hunter- Like Hunter, not so much Dominic

    Asher Thomas- I like this.

    Gabriel Thomas- No for Gabriel

    Micah James- Nice also..

    GOOD LUCK!

    Skyler Elizabeth - I prefer the spelling Skylar, and think a simpler mn would suit better - like Skyler Eve
    Sienna Grace - as others have said, quite common - esp Grace as a mn. It does go with everything though!
    Sophia Alessandra - I think Sophie Alessandra flows better. Gorgeous names!
    Charlotte Isabella - both too common for my liking
    Cassandra Abigail - nice! I also like the name Casuarina (with nn Cass/Cassie)
    Peyton Rose - LOVE Peyton! Rose goes well! Some other mn suggestions: Abigail, Elizabeth, Aurelia
    Chloe Valentina - lovely!
    Evie Aurelia I think Aurelia Eve flows better. I also dont like Evie as a first name - ok as a nn (I have an Evie whose name is Evangeline)

    Alexander Jacob
    Xander Jacob
    Dominic Hunter
    Asher Thomas
    Gabriel Thomas
    Micah James
