    Both boy and girl name decisions- cant pick!

    Hi to all, I am new to this site. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with our 2nd child. However, I have been going through the names list and cant decide on one since I love 'em all. My daughter's name is Mia Amelia Lea. Just love Mia and my fiancee loves Amelia. My mother's name is Lea, so all combined.

    I would like either a boy or girl that sounds good with big sister's name. Here are the names I like so far.. Feel free to add any classic names. Girls... Isabella, Olivia, Sienna, Isla, Esme or Esmeralda (my grandma), Ruby (my great grandma), Scarlett. Boys.... William, Lucas, Noah, Riley, Daniel (my grandpa), Samuel, Isaac, Terry (uncle), Dean, Jude (dad's middle name). Thanks!

    I have a Ruby and a Sienna and my best friends daughter is Scarlett. I love them as they have a timeless feel.
    I love Riley. I have an Aiden too if that helps

    I love RUBY and ISABELLA but i think i prefer Isabelle, you could have Ruby Isabelle?

    I love William as this was going to be DD1's middle name if she had of been a boy, she was going to be Tyler William...
    I also like Jude... what about Jude William?

    Sorry prob no help... have fun picking.

    You like a lot of the girls names that I like
    My faves from your list are: Isla, Sienna, Olivia in that order
    I think Scarlett sounds great with Mia although I'm not a huge fan of Scarlett. I think it's a pretty name but it just doesn't tickle my fancy !
    Esme is growing on me too. I would spell it Esmae though.

    Some Suggestions
    Ivy, Hazel (my grandma & Nana), Lydia, Eloise, Olive, Lilian/Liliana, Ava, Paige, Claire

    For boys from your list I like Riley & Lucas.
    Suggestions: Hayden, Cameron, Aaron, Justin, Rowan, Cooper, Archer, Carter

    BTW I love Amelia - it's number 1 on my list but DH refuses to even consider it

    Thanks guys, keep them coming!! Love too many boy names to make my mind up. So far I am putting down on the paper is Samuel Jude. Thinking about Riley, Lucas, Isaac, Jacob, Mason, Owen and Daniel. Sister Mia and Sam??

    Easier with girl names... Ruby Isabelle, Esme Ruby, Ruby Esme, Ruby Rose, Esme Isabelle, Isabella Rose. Still like Olivia, Isla, Sienna.

    Vote vote???

    I like William Mason, William Dean or William Issac for a boy (I have my own little William )

    For a girl, I like Scarlett Rose, Sienna Rose and Isabella Esme

    Good luck!

    I love for a girl Ruby - I love Ruby Isabelle & Ruby Esme together

    As for boys I love the names Noah and Owen.

    Good Luck with picking a name. You have great taste in names

    My girls have 'classic' middle names Amy, Jayne and Maree. I like Lily and Violet as middle names very feminine and go well with a range of names.

    I really like Samuel Jude, good choice. I also like your other boy choices apart from Riley, not a massive fan of Isaac.

    Girls - not into Sienna, way too popular and a bit faddish (sorry I know there are a few out there). Do you like Sarah? That is classic but there aren't too many baby Sarahs around (I'm extremely biased on that one though!). Esme is nice but I don't think it goes with Isabelle or Ruby as a middle name. Not much help am I? The perfect name will come to you I'm sure.

    Sarah's nice, but I have some nieces and cousins naming that. My fiancee's ex was a Sarah, so we consider that as a no.

    I have worked out the names from the list and came up with these. Could you guys be honest and tell me what you think of each one I have put down. I hope its final list!!!

    Boys... LOVE Noah, Samuel and Riley.

    Noah Daniel
    Noah Alexander
    Noah Jacob
    Samuel Jude
    Riley Daniel
    Riley (any names to go with it?)

    Girls... LOVE Ruby, Esme and Olivia.

    Ruby Rose
    Ruby May
    Ruby Isabelle
    Esme Rose
    Olivia Cordella
    Olivia Florence
    Isla Rose
    Isla Isabelle

    Going to have three first names on list to choose once the bub is born, so we can see for ourselves if the name suits our new bundle of joy! However, the middle names are hardest to choose to go with first name. Tell me which first name you like best also.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy.
    My DD is Maya.
    I also love Lilliana and Danya.
    Out of your choices, I like Isabella.
    DS is Daniel. So i obviously love that name.
    Lucas would have been our second choice.

    I'm just going to be honest and say, I really don't like Esme, Isla, Dean or Isaac. No offence, just my personal opinion. I just don't find they have a nice ring to them.

    Definitely don't do Ruby Rose. Unless you're ok with everyone thinking you named your daughter after a celebrity.

    I can't really help you with name combos as I don't do middle names. I find most combos sound weird. But it also depends on your last name whether the names will sound good. I general, I think a name sounds more balanced if the first and middle name have diffferent lengths. So either short name + long name or long name + short name. If both names have the same amount of syllables, it often sounds a bit boring.

    Maybe
    Riley Benjamin or Noah Benjamin
    I think Ruby Isabella sounds a little more balanced than Ruby Isabelle
    Olivia Rose
    Ruby Esmeralda, Esmeralda Ruby
    Esmeralda Lilly, Lilly Esmeralda
    You can still call her Esme.

    After doing a lot of thinking, I need a bit more help on this. Could you tell me which first name you like best, it will help greatly with my decision.

    My picks for girls are Olivia and Ruby. Esme is beautiful, but a lot of people are commenting how that name sounds very nanny.

    Names combos are...

    Olivia Florence May
    Olivia Ruby May
    Ruby Esmeralda May

    May is a family name so I would love to add to the combo names, since my daughter already have three combos.

    My boy names picks are...

    Noah Alexander (last name has letters o, d, a and r.. maybe this is it?)
    Noah Daniel
    Samuel Jude

    Any suggestions that could help.

    Thanks everyone xxx

    I absoutely LOVE Olivia Rose May for a girl - that just flows so nicely

    For a boy, I like Noah Daniel, that's what sticks out the most at me... Good luck!
