I really like Briar and Gabriel.

I like Eve and love Ivy!

(I'm guessing it might be a reference to the eponymous character in "Howl's Moving Castle" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howl's_Moving_Castle_(film)). His real name is actually Howell Jenkins, which I find a little more accessible.

another boy suggestion is Adrian

Girls:
Moira - LOVE

Boys:
Edward - like
Felix - always the cat
Gabriel - LOVE
Howl - husband's grandfather's last name
Tobias - LOVE though then I watched Arrested Development. If you're going to use this name, don't watch any episodes until after your child is born.

TOBIAS FUNKE!

I also like Moira a lot.

You have my top girl name & top boy name on your list!

Girls:
(middle name to be Isaura)
Blythe - my #1 girls name! Love it, obv.
Briar - Ummm...I kinda like it! I never would have thought about that...
Brigid - Not one of my favs
Eve - Like it
Ivy - Like it
Moira - Not crazy about
Wendy - Not crazy about

Boys:
Edward - Ehh, too plain for me.
Felix - like someone else said, Felix the Cat ALWAYS comes to mind.
Gabriel - my #1 boys name! Love it!
Howl - A little TOO eccentric for my taste. I think he'd get teased a lot for his name being a sound dogs and coyotes make.
Tobias - Oz ruined this name for me. But I still think it's nice.

"I think he'd get teased a lot for his name being a sound dogs and coyotes make."

that made me LOL!! i have to tell the husband that, hehe!

LoL Just looking out for the future children of the world!

I really love Briar, Blythe and Brigid. Tobais would be my favorite boy's name.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

or maybe "Howl" by Ginsberg

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

I *adore* Briar! It's in my top ten for sure. I also like Eve, but I kinda ruined it for myself when I started calling my menstrual cycle Eve. (you're probably wondering why, but it was from this Lindsay Lohan movie with Tara Banks I believe and TB played a doll that came to life and she said, "I'm your special friend!" all the time, so I used her name of Eve for my "special friend")

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I like Eve and Ivy. And Tobias. And I think Eve and Tobias go really well together.

I like Moira and Felix as MNs.

Suggestions (I'm usually bad at this so if you don't like them, no worries):
Pablo
Gage (MN to me)
Preston
Theodore

Aurelia
Sage (MN to me, but don't use Gage and Sage lol)
Imogen
Eden

Girls:
(middle name to be Isaura)
Blythe - It's Ok
Briar - um no.
Brigid - dislike this name because of a personal association
Eve - very pretty
Ivy - ok
Moira - I really like this
Wendy - I think this name is tacky. *shrug*

Boys:
Edward - It's Ok, it's a family name for me, so I'm just tired of seeing it.
Felix - different.. and I kinda like it.
Gabriel - always sounds girly to me, but I like the nn Gabe
Howl - seriously.. you can't be serious.
Tobias - I really like this.

Wendy Angela Moira Darling is Wendy's full name. :) Both my sister & The husband have an obsession with Peter Pan so I suggested Moira to him at one point & she's trying to get me to use Wendy as this one baby's mn.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

from the girls, I like everything but Wendy. for boys, I like Gabriel & Felix.

[toxicthoughts.livejournal.com]

I love Briar. It is my guilty pleasure name for a girl. My husband isn't a fan though, so it will sadly never be used.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

Sorry, can't comment on the other names, too distracted by Howl.

WTF?

[chippyjem.livejournal.com]

my husband LOVES peter pan. he wanted Peter as a boys name, I said no. i can handle Moira (i love it) and Wendy is also not too bad!

[chippyjem.livejournal.com]

lol, understood! this list is both my list and my husbands list combined. i thought id leave at least one of his silly names on for "consideration" as i already said no to lots of his name suggestions : )
(it wont be used, i swear!)

[mooie-ziel.livejournal.com]

frigid Brigid is a possible unfriendly rhyme.

[pap3r-heart.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Blythe and Eve.

Tobias is the only boy names of your's that I like.

[eleanorgrace.livejournal.com]

If you're going to use Isaura as a middle name, I think your first name should not end in a vowel sound. For me, Moira, Ivy, and Eve don't work well in combination. I think Wendy is more of a nick name than a given name.
Something to maybe consider.

[boybychemistry.livejournal.com]

Weren't they John and Michael?

[neroli.livejournal.com]

Could be (don't know the original poster to know which would be more likely), but then I wouldn't have an alternative to suggest!

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

actually, the reason that my sister/mom thought I might actually go for the name Wendy is because ever since I've gotten pregnant with this one, ALLLLLL I want to eat is Wendy's. lol seriously, I'll make up excuses to be in the town where Wendy's is (we don't have one here, boohoo). (my parents live there so it's not too hard to do that.) I'll drive the 20 mins away for no good reason other than "baby wants Wendy's" though sometimes. :)

As for Brigid...are you truly going for the pronunciation "Brij-idd"? Because it's not a suitable alternative spelling for "Bridgette." If you want her to be called "Brij-itt," you should probably try a different spelling. Brigid is truly pronounced like it's spelled. But of course, perhaps that's your intention. :) Just sayin.

[prettyandpink06.livejournal.com]

I think Lucas might be good for you only on the base that you have Felix and Gabriel in there. i love Felix because it sounded so nice and went well with Rodriguez, but like most people on here, it just makes me think of the cat every time i hear it.

[chippyjem.livejournal.com]

im really not sure! i love how it looks.
i like brig-id, and brij-id. this name will most likely not be used anyways. i dont think my husband likes it very much.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i like eve, felix, tobias and gabriel a lot.

[sharleysmom.livejournal.com]

Please never name your daughter Ivy.
