Help me reduce my name lists please!

[lauraloo24]

Hi,

So i'm not pregnant yet but a girl can never be too prepared!

Can you help me cut down these lists a bit by saying which you prefer and why.

Boy

Tobey
Harrison
Caleb
Travis
Flynn
Isaac
William (family name, possibly middle name)

Girl

Evelyn (family name)
Francesca
Eleanor
Lydia
Felicity
Sadie
Iris (mn)
Alice (family name, possibly mn)

Also as we intend on having at least two children, ideas of good sibsets would be great!

Thanks in advance x

I really like Flynn William for boy and Sadie Evelyn for girl. But all the names are cute. Good luck to you

Nice list!

Boys: I love Harrison, Tobey (but spelt Toby) and William (DS is Adam William).

Girls: I am biased as DD is Francesca and if DS had have been a girl he would have been Alice Evelyn, so obviously I love all those names. I also think Iris is so pretty.

I love tradition so I would definitely pick one of your family names to go in the name somewhere

Thanks for the input everyone, it's so hard when there are so many lovely names out there, especially girls ones!

Tobey- I like this. Also like Tobias as a longer version.
Harrison- Don't like it. I think it'll be an outdated name in 20 years.
Caleb- Hate it.
Travis- Dislike it.
Flynn- Dislike it.
Isaac- Meh
William (family name, possibly middle name)- I love it. My favourite! And goes well with Tobey as a sibset or as a middle name.

Girl

Evelyn (family name)- Hate it. I like Evangeline but hate 'lyn' names.
Francesca- It's okay.
Eleanor- Love this, and love the nicknames Elle and Nora.
Lydia- Meh.
Felicity- Don't like it but always found the nickname Flossy cute.
Sadie- Quite like it.
Iris (mn)- It's nice as a middle name.
Alice (family name, possibly mn)- Like it, may work well with a second middle name.

Tobey - I really like this.
Harrison - Love it but not something I'd personally use because I dislike nn Harry.
Caleb - Not a fan at all; not sure why
Travis - It's nice and different
Flynn - Not a fan, sounds weird to me
Isaac - Not a fan; no reason why
William - Nice strong name but I'm personally not a fan

Tobey William or Harrison William would be my votes

Evelyn - Love this, esp with nn Eva
Francesca - Beautiful name LOVE nn Cheska or Frankie
Eleanor - Love this with nn Nora (not as common)
Lydia - Not a fan; not sure why
Felicity - Lovely!! Not heard this name in a looong time!
Sadie - Too nick-namey, makes me think of a pet. But still pretty
Iris - It's okay
Alice - It's just okay to me, but the family connection is important

Evelyn Iris, Eleanor Iris, Felicity Alice or Francesca Alice.

What nice names!!!

[cherrylips100]

William Flynn and Iris Evelyn

 

[deekey1016]

Not only do I think Isaac sounds the best of those boy names, it also means laughter so I think that it's an awesome name. I don't have much of an opinion on the girls names other than Francesca. It's a beautiful name but I wouldn't want the nickname Fran or Frannie. And it's a difficult name for kids to pronounce.

 

[Gesshoku]

I like Harrison (Harrison Ford )
or William or Isaac.

I love Eleanor and plan to use it myself. Lydia is nice as well.

[lauraloo24]

thanks for your input ladies, got my BFP this week so gonna have to give this some serious thought! xx

 

[RandaPanda]

Congrats!!!
I love William and Harrison for boys, and I like Isaac. For girls, I like Sadie and Felicity.

 

[lauraloo24]

Think we are steering towards Francesca and Felicity, with another F name - Florence, thrown in for good measure. Evelyn/Alice/Iris to be middle names.
As for boys, I like Harrison and DH likes Travis best. William to definitely be a middle name.
