Hi
Baby No2 is due in 8 days, and we still haven't thought of a name. With No1 it was a lot easier. Knew if was a girl and got it down to 2 names. Amber or Emelia. When she was born she had a full head of dark hair, so Amber was just not appropriate and she therefore became Emelia Faye. And it suits her perfectly, she is now 2 years old and i could never imagine her being named anything else. He little brother is now due anyday and we are struggling to decide on a couple of names that we really like. I am worried he will remain nameless for quite a few days. I want something to compliment his older sister. Don't want something really common, or too old fashioned. As you can see with Emelia we like to put a twist on it to be a little different. Middle name will be John, as it is a family thing. So far we have Dylan John Carroll Aidan John Carroll Ethan John Carroll Myles John Carroll Hubby really likes Myles, this was a new one only added recently. I have always preferred Dylan, but the more i think about it the more i am going off it. Any opinions on the above or any new suggestions would be great. Thanks |

Wow, you did well with Emilia Faye. Really like that.
All your names are fine. I like Ethan but it might be too common for you. I do like Myles/Miles but I'm fussy and don't think it is perfect with MN John but it's OK.

I like Dylan, but I am biased as My bub is named Dylan. The name isn't common for this generation of babies. Ethan is in the top 10 at the moment. I like Aiden too. I don't like Myles, it just sounds nerdy to me (I added that because there was a thread the other day about whether names conjure up an image about associated personalaties).

I think out of all the ones listed Miles goes best and less common. I like all the other names but they are all pretty common
could you use Johnathon as a mn to help flow a little better with some names I was going to suggest Lewis but then thought of your surname other names Elliott Oliver Marcus Lucas Reuben Benjamin Daniel David Nathaniel Nicholas Anthony Philip Paul Peter Simeon Simon Silas Timothy Thomas Zachary Grant Scott Todd Dean Luke |

Johnathon makes my eyes cross. I like Miles but not sure of Miles John. I like Aidan John a lot, but I like the nickname A.J. so that's my bias. |

I would just use John as a middle name as this is my dads MN, my father in laws MN, also my bro-in-laws names so we thought it would be nice to pick that.
Dylan, Aidan or Myles then. Maybe i will just take those names into the hispital with me and see what he suits. Thought of another one last night, Oscar John Carroll. I liked Lewis as well but yes it is a bit weird with our surname, people may think i'm a doted fan! LOL. I recently dismissed Brody John, due to initials and also Mason John as people keep telling me of links to the Kardashians which i hate! Thanks for opinions. |

My pick is Oscar. Oscar and Emilia. Very nice. Oscar John Carroll. Very nice. Oscar. Very nice!
You might like the spelling Oskar for your little 'twist'. |

Myles is the stand out for me, although I prefer the spelling 'Miles'

I really like Dylan with Emelia. The other names are fine too but I would avoid both Ethan and Miles/Myles with Emelia as I don't like two E first names for siblings and I think Miles/Myles sounds a bit too similar to Emelia.
Suggestions: Emelia and Byron Emelia and Harrison Emelia and Oscar Emelia and Tobias Emelia and Patrick Emelia and Callum Emelia and Connor Emelia and Nathaniel Emelia and Declan Emelia and Darcy Emelia and Roman Emelia and Sebastian Emelia and Raphael Emelia and Finlay Emelia and Theodore Emelia and Atticus Emelia and Marcus Emelia and Fraser Emelia and Spencer Emelia and Archer |
