Names We Don't Hate

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm due in June and I've always loved names and naming, so I'm happy to find this community.

We want to use family names for middles: Furey for a boy, and a variant of Jane/Joan/Joanna/Johanna for a girl. (My middle and my mom's middle is Joan, but I don't really like it enough to pass it on, so I was going to twist it a little.) Our frontrunners right now are Samuel Furey or Ivy Johanna.

The other names we're both thinking about are:

Girl
Alice
Cassandra (Cassie nn)
Celia
Felicia
Georgia
Greta/Gretchen
Juliet (Julie nn)
Lydia
Ruby
Thalia

Boy
Asher (OK, my husband hates this, but I keep hoping he'll change his mind.)
August
Elliot
Gabriel
Grant
John/Jack
Zachary

Any thoughts on any of these? And do you like Ivy Jane or Ivy Johanna better?

Ivy Jane sooo much more.

I love Juliet but no need for the nn julie, its old and nowhere near as pretty.
Felicia is ehh Felicity is gorgeous though...
Gretchen is one of the most ugly names ever!

I like Eliott
John/Jack are two different names to me! I dont like either of them
