Hi I am a mummy of 2 boys. Both old hebrew names, unplanned but cute how it has turned out. After losing our last baby we would like to pick names now. We ae currently in the 3rd month of TTC after our loss and looking at names is keeping my mid focused and positive.
Okay so here is the go, our babies name can not strat with S, N, E or H. and we also Prefer no B or M names because of the frequency of these first titles in our family. Our surname starts with P.
BOY
Middle name will be Zayd, stuck on first name
GIRL
Middle names Zoe Mae, stuck on first name
Here is what we have so far, please add your 2 cents worth, I will read.
GIRLS
Idell Zoe Mae P_
Iris Zoe Mae P_
Jalyn Zoe Mae P_
Loryn Zoe Mae P_
Odell Zoe Mae P_
BOYS
Jacen Zayd P_
Jadon Zayd P_

Hi thanks for your replies.
I wasn't going to say my sons name unless someone I know is on here and recognises me but anyways
~~ Ezra and Henry ~~
I like Theo hubby is not a fan.
We have Lauren in our family thus I though the different spelling.
Jason and Jacen are crossed off, so is Idell and Odell.

Iris!! I am biased as that's my daughters name. I get so many compliments on it you won't regret it

GIRLS
Idell Zoe Mae P_ - don't like at all
Iris Zoe Mae P_ - this is lovely, definitely the best of the list as is.
Jalyn Zoe Mae P_ - Jalyn, however you spell it, would have to be one of my least favourite names on earth.
Loryn Zoe Mae P_ - spell it Lauren and it's fantastic. I don't think changing the spelling really differentiates it from the other Lauren you know, it's still Lauren just misspelt.
Odell Zoe Mae P_ - not a fan of this, how about Odette?
BOYS
Jacen Zayd P_ - dislike
Jadon Zayd P_ - dislike
Jason Zayd P_ - NMS, but I prefer it to Jacen
Kenan Zayd P_ - is this pronounced like Keenan? Again not really my style but OK.
Kyden Zayd P_ - terrible
Levi Zayd P_ - not bad
Rhys Zayd P_ - not bad
Rylan Zayd P_ - dislike
Talon Zayd P_ - really, really dislike
Theo Zayd P_ - like this a lot, I prefer Theodore but just Theo is cute.
Wyatt Zayd P_ - NMS again.
As is I would choose Iris and Theo. I think the boys' names in particular really don't live up to your other boys' lovely names.
Do you like Toby or Tobias?

I was wondering if anyone else has named their daughter Iris.
I am just going to blog what I am a think at the moment.
My BFF's daughter is Ivy, is that too matchy, like if there is Ivy and Iris in a photo etc.
They are having a baby soon and he is going to be William, Already very matchy with William and Henry lol. (prince harry's real name is Henry, not the reason for my Henry tough lol, made even worse by him being born the day of the royal wedding). He was named at our 20w scan though so not planned at all.
Iris Zoe Mae ??
Will run it by hubby again and see.
Talon, apparently having done some research kids get picked on becasue of the meaning, a Talon is a claw. So I think I am crossing that one off.
Rylan keeps coming up in my mind but I have crossed it off now becasuse I just realised it starts with RY and Henry ends in RY.
~~ Revised list now.
GIRLSIris Zoe Mae P_
Jalyn Zoe Mae P_
BOYS
Jadon Zayd P_
Levi Zayd P_
Rhys Zayd P_
Theo Zayd P_
Wyatt Zayd P_
Are your votes.
Feel free to add suggestions. As you can see 5 letter names tops and no S, N, E, H, M or B names please.

Love Iris and Theo from your list. Also think both go well with your boys names.

26/03/2012, 12:40 PM
Levi Zayd, or Rhys Zayd, would be my picks for a boy.
Iris is the nicest of the girls. I don't think a friend named Ivy is too much for Iris.
If Loryn were adjusted to Laurel that might work? And I know its terribly old fashioned but I prefer Opal or Delia or Dinah to Odell.
ChickyMumma
26/03/2012, 01:44 PM
Theo is definatly on my radar but not sure is hubby will agree
Hubby doesn't like Iris but I get the final say on girls names thats our deal. He gets to name the boys. Well he name Ezra and Henry was a colabrative effort.
I think I am in love with "Iris Zoe Mae" now.
Opal - I love Opal, I had it on my list for Henry but it got scratched from the list because the intals would have been OMG lol. Opal Mae Gloria.
Delia - not for me sorry
Dinah - not for me sorry

Theo is nice, what about Leo
Iris is pretty a friend named her daughter recently Violet, and I know there's been a few Ivy's lately too
you could always have
Opal Gloria Mae
I wouldnt worry about your friend's daughter name - you just go with what you like
It wouldnt matter is Rylan stards with Ry and Henry ends with RY -
Ryan would be nice

Cannot stand Theo, my least favourite of all the lists.

26/03/2012, 09:49 PM
From your list Iris Zoe Mae is a clear stand out
Iris is fine to use with your BFF's DD Ivy. If it was your sister I'd be a bit iffy.
Levi & Theo are my favourites from the boys

I am really at a loss. I really hope a name just pops out at me.
DH is driving me nuts, now he like Theo better than Levi lol.
Ezra, Henry and Theo ???
Had a dream last night we had a boy, so they will just be the "P_ boys" anyways, thats all they refer to my boys now anyways.
Oh also not we love German and English names too, it doesn't have to be Hebrew. Henry is English/German orignally but was in a Hebrew naming website so they must use it too.

Iris is good.
Loryn is okay.
What about Odette or Adele? They are nicer than your other options I think.

Jacob ??? boys name ???
Ezra, Henry and Jacob (Jakob) Pf_
SO STUCK !!!!!! I can not decide. I feel so lost. I love Liam but one of the girls at playgroup just announce she is having a Liam and they will go to school togetehr so not a good idea to have the same name.
I am convinced we will have another boys. Or its my coping tool to avoid being disappointed when we do fall pregnant and if its a girl I will work that out then (DH really wants a girl)
la di dah
04/04/2012, 03:13 PM
I like Jacob. It's pretty popular itself, though, if that's why you've gone off Liam. I wouldn't run myself ragged avoiding every name they might go to school with?
Jacob does go nicely with Ezra and Henry though, and sounds a leetle bit more classic than Liam (Whereas William would be pretty equivalent).

La Di Dah - Our school is approx 40 kids including playgroup and kindy up to year 7. Tiny tiny school, but an excellent school and the teachers are AWESOME!! We have lawyers and doctor and more as gratulates which is fantastic. Also cute that our sons are third generation, there dad and grandpa went there too.
DH has agreed on Jacob and Tyler. As he is still convinced twins are going to pop up lol. They are all though his family lol, nut only one set in mine. Just middles names with Z in them and we are done for boys names.
I love william but couldn't possiably with Henry as my son, as prince Harry's name is Henry. Makign it worse my Henry deciedd the day of teh royal wedding was a perfect day to arrive. We also have a little bubba William at playgroup that will be in the grade above our YTCB.
Girls name has me stumped, bar that her middle names are Zoe Mae anyways.

So Zaul any good? or Suggestions please on 4 letter names with Z in them (doesn't have to start with Z just has to have one in it. Or the Z could just be for the irish twins (my sons are 10.5 months apart and babies born to the same mother in 2 pregnancies is refered to as being irish twins)
