QUOTE (EHB @ 18/12/2012, 07:52 PM) Love Joseph- that's our son's name. Also like Angus too. Not too keen on Edith. How about Esther or Anna ? Also love Claire, and Ruth. Isabella's middle name is Claire! I love it too. i like the nickname Edie for Edith. also like Elke and have considered Esther which is pretty! Names hard decisions though!

I like vowels too. Here are some favourites of mine. Girls Ada Alice Amy, Amity, Amanda Alexa, Alexandra Anwen, Autumn Aurora Ella, Eliana Emily, Emmeline Esther Opal Ottavia Ursula Boys Aidan Alan Arthur August Edmund Eli Emmett Ezra Isaac Owen Oren Joseph isn't bad, but I don't like it as much as Joel or Josiah for reasons I can't really explain. I'd probably keep it on hand as a tasteful middle name though for a vowel-ier first name. This post has been edited by la di dah: 18/12/2012, 07:11 PM

Eden? Edith should stay in the 19th century. It's very old ladyish and not in a good way. Erin? Elke is nice, kind of strong but pretty.

I love Edith, and think Edith Josephine would be a lovely combo. I also really like Elke - I think it's different, but most people have heard of it at the same time. Joseph is OK - not one of my favourites. Emmeline Adelaide Odette Ambrose Avery Elijah
