I dont have any kids and am not pregnant...yet. The boyfriend and I are hoping for kids in the next year or so, after I've finished uni.
We've already got the names picked (a bit ahead of ourselves) and I was wondering what people thought. We love them but we've had mixed reactions...

Boy:

Kacey William Alexandar
- William after my grandad
-Alexandar after my dad's step-dad and my great grandad

Girl:

Bethan Raen Alexandria
- Raen standing for Rapley Ansley Elizabeth Nicholson (all family names)
- Alexandria after a friend of my boyfriend

or

Eva-Rei Elizabeth
- Eva-Rei pronounced Ay-va Ray
- Elizabeth is a family name

Opinions?

I really really dislike the name Kacey. It just sounds so weak to me. For either sexes. I love William Alexandar though. I love both those names.

I don't really like Bethan at all, though I like Raen. And I lovelovelove Eva-Rei. But if you are going to prounounce it ava, you should probably spell it that way, or she's going to be correcting people all the time.

I've always liked Kacey and I like the way it sounds with William Alexandar but everyone's entitled to their opinions, which is exactly what I asked for.

Bethan is from the James Herbert book "Once...". In the book she was a faerie who fell in love with and married a soldier meaning she became half human. They had a child but her husband died. She couldn't live as a human without his love and she couldn't go back to living as a faerie so she died. I really like the book and Bethan's story so I like the name. Elizabeth is also a family name and Beth or Bethan are the only variations I like of it as a first name.

Eva is the Japanese spelling as is Rei but I understand the misprounouncing thing. It's something to think about.
