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 just read in a previous post why Alexandar is spelt the way it is. Honestly, i think that's a bit silly (no offence) It's such a classic name that nobody will ever spell it right/remember to once they've been told. & also, because it's such a classic it doenst look uniquely spelt, it just looks wrong & odd. I know you want to name him after your grandparents but just stick to the traditional spelling, they sound the same anyway.

Both me and my boyfriend really like Kacey so I don't think anything is going to change our minds on this one.
I don't like William as a first name but I need it in there somewhere so middle name it is.
I actually like the -dar for Alexandar. Both names (-da and -der) are important and it would feel like I was chosing to honor one over the other. Just in my personal opinion.

Bethan's explanation is in a comment above. I'm not too keen on Bethany but I like the suggested spelling Bethann.
Raen is pronounced more like Rayen.
Alexandria I really like aswell.

Eva-Rei most likely wont be used as Bethan Raen is the first choice girls name but I like it.
The only nn I like for Elizabeth is Beth or Bethan/Bethann, hence the choice of first name as I don't really like Elizabeth in full as a first name. It's my middle name.

Thanks for your comment. I like hearing other peoples opinions even if they don't change my own very often :)
