DH & I each have a top 5 from our 'short'list (of 19 names ) and there is only one match! I was hoping I could get some opinions (which may or many not encourage me to ditch some from my top 5 & replace them!)... My top 5 (in alphabetical order): Cillian Dashiell Dexter Hugo Raphael We haven't even started working on middle names yet - I think we'll need a first name to match it with... So please, rank these names, or at least give me some opinions If 'you' like, I can add the other names on our list, but thought the 'top 5' might be a better place to start! Thanks

Which one matched on your husbands list? I like Cillian most, then Hugo.

I'm Erin, DH is Brendan, DD is Evelyn, is Cillian just getting too matchy? This post has been edited by *Browncoat*: 12/04/2012, 01:20 PM

Don't worry that only one match out of a shortlist of 19. DH and I had a list of 100 names and were to highlight our favourite 20 names.... we had NOT ONE MATCH . Of course we ended up having 2 boys (we can't agree on boys names). Hugo and Raphael are the only two on your list I like. The other's I don't rate.

Raphael or Dexter I love. I am not a fan on the other 3 sorry. (I always wanted a Raph but DH didn't like it I was actually surprised he liked the name we went with for DS as for him it is very very out there) With DD4 I really thought it was going to be a boy and had done a massive list of names I liked. Again Raphael was on I had Dexter, Declain, Zane, Atticus, Blake, Ryder, Hunter, Jasper (which due to DH's work was vitto'd right away) alas I didn't get to use any. I did used to like Hugo but The Slap has ruined it for me now I think

I don't think there's even that many we like! We're hopeless with boys names! This post has been edited by *Browncoat*: 12/04/2012, 01:35 PM

Dashiell Raphael (meh) Others I can't really comment on as they are nms Choosing a name is hard however so long as you and dh are happy with it then that is all you need to be concerned about.
