Middle name for a boy will be Thomas, undecided yet for a girl but probably a family name. Elijah Zachary Elliott Isaiah Franklin Atticus Ashley Archer Nicholas Ezekiel Tobias Elaine Carys Lydia Tabitha Penelope Florence Leila Clementine Anna Anastacia Vivian/Vivienne Evelyn Catherine Eleanor Open to suggestions for things that may be similar. Edited to remove kids names. This post has been edited by ~squiggle~: 11/01/2013, 08:19 AM

You have some that I love and some that I dislike Elijah - dislike (too soft or something, don't know how to explain it) Zachary - love (obviously as I have a Zachary myself lol) Elliott - nms Isaiah - nms (I like Isaac though) Franklin - dislike (sorry to all the Franklins out there but I immediately think nerd or the turtle) Atticus - it's ok Ashley - girls name (Asher I like though) Archer - like (but really hate the nn Archie which puts me off) Nicholas - like (but really love Nikolai) Ezekiel - it's ok Tobias - dislike (same issue as Elijah) Elaine - is ok Carys - like Lydia - like Tabitha - dislike Penelope - like (but don't like Penny) Florence - like Leila - like (what about Lola) Clementine - dislike Anna - love Anastacia - love (though I spell it Anastasia, this was a contender when naming DD but worried about her getting the nn Stacy which I dislike) Vivian/Vivienne - like (Vivian is how I prefer to spell it) Evelyn - love (also love Evangeline) Catherine - nms Eleanor - nms

My favourite from the boys list is Zachary. I also quite like Nicholas. If middle name is defintely going to be Thomas, I would not use Tobias - Tobias Thomas just doesnt work at all. Favourite from the girls list is Anna - however I dont think I would use Anna when you already have Alexandra, I would also not use Anastacia when you already have Alexandra

Anastacia is a family name, hence the spelling. I love Lola, DH does not. The girls are only ever known as Millie and Lexie, so not too concerned about a name starting with the same initial. This post has been edited by ~squiggle~: 02/01/2013, 08:23 PM
