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?

Kacey William Alexandar -- Casey William AlexandEr. I agree Kacey seems like a girls spelling. I think Casey could go girl or boy, but Kacey really looks like a girl to me. I used to know the HOTTEST guy when I was in high school. He went by the ever cooler nn Caz (he was hot enough to pull anything off...) Anyway, I'll always like the name Casey for that reason. ;)

Bethan Raen Alexandria -- I like Raen is a stretch, personally. Cramming in everyname in your tree kind of dilutes the honor imo. But hey, I'm kind of strict on stuff like that. Otherwise sounds like a fine combo to me.

Eva-Rei Elizabeth -- I personally prefer the AY-va pronunciation too, but I know most won't say it that way, not in the U.S. anyway. Otherwise a fine combo.

I think the biggest thing for me with Casey is I knew a girl called Casey and I always associated it with a girls name. My boyfriend can't remember where he got the Kacey spelling but it was a male name.
Also, I will most likely call him Kace and Case written down is just suitcase to me.

I originally wanted to call a girl Rapley Ansley Elizabeth Nicholson, Nicholson being my sn, but decided I hated Rapley as a first name and it just sounded wrong so I just kind of squished it and fell in love with it.
