Name Suggestions

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

So I think I've probably asked this same question once or twice over the past 6 months but I'm back again to get some more ideas. I had 2, back to back, miscarriages in the spring and after a few months, I am now pregnant again, hoping this one sticks! And, of course, the first thing on my mind is names! lol

My current children are named Stella Marie and Felix Xavier. The middle name for our next baby will be either Roseanne or Merrick.

My list as it stands is:

Girls
Gianna
Isadora
Leila
Lena
Ophelia
Priya
Paloma
Yasmine
Zara

Boys
Alastair/Alistair (I can't decide which spelling I prefer)
Basil
Clive
Dante
Ezra
Hugo
Jericho
Luka
Oliver
Rocco

Please give me any and all suggestions of names you think I might like to add to my list! Thanks :)

I have a Priya, I love it.

People always mispronounce it and misspell it so that's something to consider. Perhaps because we do not live in a area with many Indian families or names.

From your boys names Oliver & Luka are my favorite.

SOOO random, but we had a student doctor called Priya at the hospital the other day. :)

I think Gianna or Ophelia, and Juricho, Luka, or Oliver sound best with your sibset!

first impressions

Girls
Gianna - love!
Isadora - a nice twist on the "Isabella" thing that gets overused
Leila - beautiful
Lena - very cool name
Ophelia - gorgeous
Priya - interesting, never seen it before
Paloma - my favorite!
Yasmine - a nice twist on Jasmine
Zara - makes me think of the mall store

Boys
Alastair/Alistair (I can't decide which spelling I prefer) - hmmm, sort of a mouthful
Basil - makes me think of Austin Powers
Clive - kind of a creeper name
Dante - cute
Ezra - also cute
Hugo - kind of awkward
Jericho - makes me think of a place not a name
Luka - cute although I prefer the spelling "Luca"
Oliver - getting very trendy
Rocco - makes me think of Madonna

Girls
Gianna Roseanne - I really like Gianna, both on its own and within the sibset, but dislike the flow with the middle because of the two "ann" sounds.
Isadora Roseanne - I love this.
Leila Roseanne - I really like this. I think it sounds really cute. Maybe the 'la' sound at the end is a little matchy with Stella.
Lena Roseanne - I like this.
Ophelia Roseanne - This is really nms.. and I don't think it fits very well with Stella and Felix.
Priya Roseanne - I love Priya, but associate it with an Asian/Indian child.
Paloma Roseanne - I think this sounds amazing with Stella and Felix and although I wouldn't choose the name myself, it's my favourite of your choices.
Yasmine Roseanne - This sounds pretty enough, but is not my style.
Zara Roseanne - I just don't like this.

Boys
Alastair/Alistair Merrick - nms
Basil Merrick - HATE.
Clive Merrick - really dislike this.
Dante Merrick - nms.
Ezra Merrick - Love this. It's probably my favourite of your boys names.
Hugo Merrick - I dislike Hugo. It makes me think of Hugh Heffner and very wealthy men.
Jericho Merrick - Sounds like a wrestler or something.
Luka Merrick - I love Luke/Luca/Lucas..any variation really.. and I think it sounds good with the sibset.
Oliver Merrick - This is nice enough.. pretty popular atm.. and I'm not sure I like it with Stella and Felix because neither of your children (i'm assuming) have nn's and Oliver would likely become Ollie.
Rocco Merrick - This sounds like a dog name to me.

Personally, I thikn that Paloma Roseanne, Ezra Merrick, Isadora Roseanne and Luka Merrick sound the nicest with Stella Marie and Felix Xavier.

I'm enjoying your list! I like Priya or Leila and Ezra, Hugo, Luka or Oliver with your other children.

I'm going to suggest Leo, just because I have a Leo and a Stella and think it sounds great together!

Other suggestions:
Julian, Xavier, Jasper, Elliot, Milo, Calvin, Henry, Aldo, Ivo, Enzo, Emmett

Beatrix, Audrey, Charlotte, Violet, Ruby, Hazel, Nora, Claire, Alice, Julia, Dahlia

Also, I asked for some suggestions for future children a few weeks ago (to go with my kids Leo and Stella) and these are the responses. Thought maybe it'd help!

I like Ophelia, Paloma and Zara for the girls though I'm not sure if I like them with Roseanne. I don't mind Luka, Oliver and Rocco.

[quinnthevixen.livejournal.com]

First off, I love your kids' names! I've been fantasizing about using Felix for a long time, and Stella would be on my short list if it hadn't suddenly sky rocketed in popularity. For girls, I love Lena, Leila, Ophelia, and Paloma. For boys, my vote would be for Basil, Hugo, Oliver, or Ezra (love!)

I really love Alistair Merrick.
Hugo, Luka, Oliver and Rocco are also great with Merrick.

Leila, Lena and Opelia are all great with Roseanne.
