Well finding baby names DH and I both agree on is a nightmare

(he's so fussy)
Anyway at the moment here is our short list (and this list could change without any notice - depending on if DH is having a bad hair day or not

)
GIRLS (Middle name will probably be Charlotte)
Indigo (Indi for short)
Ruby
Milly
Alexis (Lexie for short)
BOYS (Middle name probably will be James)
Sebastian
Ronin (or Ronan - not sure on spelling as yet)
Talon (this was on our original list, but not so sure now)
So what are your faves?

My pick would probally be
Girl: Indigo Charlotte for the fact Indigo is that little bit different and not to popular like the others
Boy: Sebastian James it just flows nicely together.

Milly, for obvious reasons
I also quite like Alexis. Ruby and Indigo are nms
For a boy, I like Sebastian.
I would spell Ronan, as opposed to Ronin, and Talon just makes me think of big fingernails! LOL!

Indigo (Indi for short) - dislike
Ruby - quite like
Milly - like but only as nickname to Amelia, Emily etc. Too insubstantial and childish on its own for an adult.
Alexis (Lexie for short) - fine..
Sebastian - like very much
Ronan - would definitely spell it this way. Like.
Talon - definitely not. An eagle's claw and a brand of rat poison? No thanks.

I like Ruby Charlotte and Sebastian with maybe James or Thomas as a middle name! They are more of a classical and timeless style of name! Good Luck!

1.
Ruby Charlotte
2.Indigo Charlotte - very nice too
3.Amelie Charlotte - with Milly as a nn, Milly on it's own doesn't sit well with me.
4.Alexis - I quite like this one too but it doesn't flow real well with Charlotte, they flow into each other.
1.
Ronan James 
- definitely this spelling
2.Sebastian James - Great name but a bit long for every day use and not easily shortened.
Talon -

rat bait.

I love Alexis Charlotte and Ruby Charlotte equally, I cannot choose a favourite. For a boy Ronan James would definitely be my pick

Ronin - but definitely spelt Ronan. Ronin (or more correctly Ryonin) is Japanese for "masterless samurai!"

Alexis and Ronan.

Girls
Indigo (Indi for short) I like Indi but not Indigo maybe Indiana
Ruby My Fave
Milly Dont Mind
Alexis (Lexie for short) Dont Mind
BOYS - None stand out to me
Sebastian Nope dont like it
Ronin (or Ronan - not sure on spelling as yet) Dont mind it
Talon (this was on our original list, but not so sure now) Dont mind it
Best of luck. I always reckon choosing the name is the hardest thing as they have to suit it as a child and an adult and they are stuck with it for life.

Just had to jump in here and say that my little boy's name is Sebastian and if this baby is a girl we will name her Alexis. I guess great minds think alike

Well it looks like Sebastian and Alexis are winning with Ruby and Ronan coming a close second.
I didn't mention this in my original post, but my other children's names are Karlie and Keenan (if that makes any difference)
geez
22/04/2008, 12:48 PM
Love Indigo and Sebastian.
Also like Milly, I have a friend called Melita and we all call her Milly.
Really don't like Alexis,sorry it reminds me of Dynasty!
best wishes

I adore Alexis (would use Ava as a mn tho) as Alexis Ava sounds beautiful together.
And Sebastian too - goes best with ur other childrens' names.
In fact Ruby, Alexis & Millie are my top 3 names!

GIRLS (Middle name will probably be Charlotte)
Indigo (Indi for short) - Vastly prefer Indira
Ruby - Nice
Milly - Lovely nickname for Amelia or Millicent
Alexis (Lexie for short) - Lovely
BOYS (Middle name probably will be James)
Sebastian - Fantastic name
Ronin (or Ronan - not sure on spelling as yet) - Meh
Talon (this was on our original list, but not so sure now) - one of my most disliked names ever!
So Alexis and Sebastian for me.

22/04/2008, 07:21 PM
I like Alexis, and

Lexie for short!
I can't decide between Sebastian and Ronan - but I think Ronan goes better with your other kids' names. (plus Ronen is a favourite for us too - shortlist for middle name for boys!

)
So I think my top picks for you are
Alexis Charlotte and Ronin James.
Or Sebastian James ...................I can't quite decide!

how many different ways can I spell Ronin in one post?!
