Hi Ladies DS was nameless for over a week when he was born, so I am trying to be a little more organised this time around! Girls I posted a few weeks ago about using a Dutch name, Evelien (pronounced Ay-veh-leen) and I think for a girl its still my front runner but chasing some opinions on the following: Evelien Joy Heidi Joy Maja Grace Boys Middle name will be Roel. Difficult to spell pheonetically - maybe Rule or Roo-el? Its almost a half syllable?. First names are: Xander Aiden Lucas Oliver Payton Owen I am leaning towards Xander Roel but need some feedback :-) Or any other suggestions!!! Oh, our DS is Liam.

I'll come back in a min but you've spelt Evelien 2 different ways in your post. I think it should be this one.

I prefer Maja of all your name options, but don't like the MN Grace at all. Maja Evalien would be my pick if I could mix it up; Heidi Joy if I can't. I would prefer Alexander Roel to Xander, and that would be my frontrunner. If Alexander wasn't an option then I'd prefer Owen Roel and then Lucas Roel in that order; none of the others compare.

Heidi Joy and Maja Grace are DIVINE. I can't split them, or fault them. I love Owen.

I posted a few weeks ago about using a Dutch name, Evelien (pronounced Ay-veh-leen) and I think for a girl its still my front runner but chasing some opinions on the following: Evelien Joy - nice Heidi Joy - love it Maja Grace - ok, prefer Maya spelling though Xander - ok Aiden - goes best with Liam Lucas - depends if you want all L names or not, good Oliver - nice Payton - sorry don't like for a boy Owen - nice, not sure it goes with Liam though

Love Evelien Joy but only if it is pronounced [ever-leen]. Heidi Joy is a nice combo too. For a boy I would favour Lucas Roel or Aiden Roel. I'd have to concede that Owen goes well with Liam even though it's not a favourite of mine. Boy suggestions: Stefan Casper Anton
