We have been sitting on a list of names for awhile and are still undecided. We have sort of given up but as time is running out we are starting to stress a bit.

We don't have any names we love so that makes it harder.

Boys:
Zachary Edward (DH is not a huge fan of zachary)
Mitchell Edward
Aiden Edward
Bailey Edward

Girls:
Abigail Ann
Eloise Ann
Ava Ann
Charlotte Ann

Middle names are family orientated, Edward is my dads name, Ann is the middle name of myself, my mum and my sister. Our surname starts with W and our son is Connor Laurence (middle name is family oriented as well).

Any opinions or other suggestions? Would love any help!

I like Mitchell Edward or Bailey Edward for a boy, and I love Eloise Ann, Eloise is probably what I would have named this baby if it was a girl original.gif

If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?

For girls I love Ava Ann and Charlotte Ann.

I like Mitchell from your boys' list and don't mind Zachary. The other two are completely NMS.

I only like Charlotte from your girls list. Ava and Abigail are NMS (plus I don't like the flow of Ava Ann) but I really dislike Eloise.

Zachary Edward - I LOVE Zachary!! Zachary Edward is wonderful!
Mitchell Edward - Mitchell is ok.... not a huge fan of it but it's not bad.
Aiden Edward - Love Aiden but Aiden Edward doesn't run together well to me.
Bailey Edward - Bailey is cute on a little boy... I do however struggle to see it as a grown mans name.

Girls:
Abigail Ann - Lovely. Not sure about the double AA though.
Eloise Ann - Gorgeous.
Ava Ann - A little short sounding. And again not sure about the AA
Charlotte Ann - Beautiful. My favorite on your list.

Suggestions:
Lucas, Cameron, Dylan, Ethan, Riley, Michael, Nathan, Nathaniel.
Elise, Georgia, Amelia, Maya, Chloe.

Zachary Edward - Not a fan would you call him Zachary or would it always be Zac
Mitchell Edward - First preference
Aiden Edward - 2nd preference
Bailey Edward - NMS but that is probably due to association with someone of that name.

Girls:
Abigail Ann - I like it but the same issue as Zachary, I don't think you would call her Abigail for long, it would be Abi to almost everyone.
Eloise Ann - My favourite, I might store Elouise myself.
Ava Ann & Charlotte Ann - Both lovely but perhaps a bit popular now.

I like all the boys names but I think Aiden Edward is a lot of 'd' sound, would go with one of the others for that reason.



Girls: my pick would be Eloise Ann - Charlotte and Abigail are ok - would not do Ava Ann - even as a liker of short names, that just seems too short and choppy.

Definitely Mitchell Edward and Eloise Ann.

I'd definitely avoid Charlotte too seeing you've already got a child with a C first name.
