Considering this is the second time around you'd think I'd still have names from last time . But nope, back to square 1. Boy Gideon Flynn Esteban William Calyx Oswald Simeon Girl Edith Audra or Audrey Isolde Oswin Teal Violet Clementine or Calliope Last name starts with A, two syllables. Sister to Llewelyn (nn Louise) Cate. This post has been edited by Corella: 18/02/2013, 05:14 PM

I am sorry OP I am not fond of any from your boys. I only like Edith from the girls. Audrey is ok too. I liked it more a few years ago before it became trendy again.

From boys list I like Flynn William (I don't mind Esteban but wouldn't put it with sister Llewelyn as seems too different culturally to me) girls Edith Clementine (also like Calliope and Isolde but again to me don't feel right with Llewelyn)

Flynn rhymes with Llewelyn so I would avoid that. Calyx is kind of cool but my first impression would be that Calyx is your daughter and Llewelyn is your son. I like Audrey, Violet, William and Edith.

With Llewelyn: Gideon Oswald Simeon Girl Isolde Clementine or Calliope I don't love these names but they're the best ones with Llewelyn for me. This post has been edited by fifi-trixibelle: 18/02/2013, 08:12 PM
