Suggestions please

[octoberbaby09.livejournal.com]

Hello,

My boss and his wife have one daughter and are expecting their second on 1st October. I told him I saw this community and he said I should see if you have any suggestions (please!).

His name is Russell, his wife is called Jade and their daughter is called Olivia. They don't have many ideas yet, except for if it's a boy he might be called Chester and if it's a girl she might be a Nicole.

Which names (girls and boys names please) do you think would suit the names already in their family?

Thanks in advance.

Suggestions:

Rachel
Rebecca
Sylvia
Gabrielle
Isabella
Louise

Sebastian (I'm very keen on this!)
Frances
Alexander
Charles
Marcus

Well, I'd like to start off by vetoing Chester and Nicole. Chester is a name for a cat, not a baby, and does not go with Olivia at all. Nicole is pretty enough but very 80s. They can definitely do better.

"Chester" indicates that they like the so-old-it's-new style, which Olivia was part of before it became so popular that it was just popular. So they might like old-timey names like:

Seth
Gabriel
Cedric
Edward
Dorian
Emmett
Jonah
Miles
Tobias.

Girl equivalents:
Sadie
Maisie
Molly
Charlotte/Lottie
Felicity
Annabelle
Lucy
Claudia
Cordelia
Eleanor
Hazel
Josephine
Lydia
Judith
Meredith
Millie
Miriam
Rosemary
Ruth
Phoebe
Susannah
Violet
Lily
Rose

Not all of these suggestions are names that would go very well with Olivia, which has become very popular. Olivia and Sadie? Olivia and Ruth? They don't really match. I think all the boy names I listed go with Olivia, but of the girls, the ones I would highlight are Rose, Phoebe, Lucy, Annabelle, and Molly.

Hasn't anyone heard of Chester the Molester? It's a pretty unfortunate rhyme/name for someone you think is a child molester. For that reason, I wouldn't advise anyone to use the name Chester...

That's the 1st thing I think of when I see the name Chester. Well, that and the scrawny guy from Linkin Park.

i think of that and what we call Chester Vans, those creepy vans with no windows... yea, not a good baby name.
