Birth Announcement

[blueorange94.livejournal.com]

My husband's sister-in-law (his brother's wife) just had her second child yesterday morning. Baby boy Peyton Xavier joins older sister Kadyn Serena. Xavier was actually a name my husband and I had considered, but we had a Henry instead. Not sure how I feel about Peyton, TBH. Sounds a bit rhyme-y to me. Still haven't seen the little munchkin yet, hopefully this weekend, so maybe I'll see him and think, "Well, of course he's a Peyton!"

What do you think?

Boy name on a girl

[charuby.livejournal.com]

Was at work today and a mother and her young daughter were browsing. The girl (about 4) was called Alfie. WDYT? I don't like Alfie on a girl at all, especially considering that it's a pet form of Alfred. I just had a quick look on Nameberry, however, and Alfie is also used as a nickname/pet name for Alfreda, so I guess that could be the girl's full name.

Felix.

It seems to be getting quite popular here in London, but I can't shake the feeling that it's a cat name (yes, I blame the cat food brand for that). I've encountered at least three baby boys called Felix this year. Is it getting popular anywhere outside of London, or is our particular middle class trend?

Sisters for Octavian

[clutchedpearls.livejournal.com]

What girls' names go well with a brother named Octavian?

My husband and I like Aurora (Rory for short), Ramona (Romy for short), and Amelia (Amy for short)...but we're not sure if they sound maybe too quirky/more modern with the very traditional Octavian.

How important to you are sibling names that "go" together? What makes two names "go", in your opinions?

ETA: We plan on using Tavi as the nn for Octavian (pron. TAY-vee).
