Do any of you actually research names?? Especially the admin/mods - surely you out of everyone should know most pronunciations, or look them up before replying?!

In answer to OP - my favourite by...

Brodie is an absolutely gorgeous, classy, handsome name, if I do say so myself :)

Its Scottish (as in castle Brodie), not American - not every name ending in an ee sound is American.

Not that...

Love the suggestion of Ava Penelope. I think Phoebe Ava sounds better than Ava Phoebe.

Ava Saffron
Ava Willow
Ava Emily
Ava Madeline
Ava Yasmin
Ava Bethany

Hubby and I always said we'd have 3 or 4, ideally one of each. Now we have 2 boys and 2 girls which is fantastic, and I wouldn't want any more! More than 2 is hard work!

No more safe and popular than Benjamin. They're perfectly fine names and if she's set on them it doesn't matter what we think of them

I like Edie but prefer Eden to Edith. Also like Martha and Etta (not Loretta).

5/10

Like Saskia (it's my name) but find Grace dull and overused.

Estee Flora (ess-tay)

Love Madeline (mad-ah-line, like the French cartoon) but hate Madeleine, which looks fussier and will always have pn problems (mad-ah-lyn/layne).

At the moment, probably Seth Jacob or Eden Flora...

Well obviously I love it having got a Dylan myself. It's a beautiful, classic without being too traditional, and cool without being chavvy name. It's cute on a baby, cool on a kid and classy on an...

I'm 25. I was only 16 (and 3/4 lol) and hubby was 19 when we had our first.

I'd say it "nih-loo-fer", with a short sound at the beginning and emphasis on the "loo" in the middle.

I think Ayla is beautiful, but it (and similar names) are very popular at the moment.

Anousheh is really lovely, and I don't think it's that difficult to work out how it's pronounced as it's...

I actually like them all! Having a Phoebe myself, obviously I love it. Don't get the "doesn't age well" comments at all - it's flipping ancient Greek so done well ageing-wise over the last couple...

Freya, Isla, Ava, Olivia, Mia, Clara if you want another name ending in A? Esmé, Phoebe, Jasmine, Willow, Xanthe?

I think having the same middle name (especially if it's one of two mns) is fine!

Ditto

I voted Edie Olivia Hope as I like the flow of it - but I'd have Eden nn Edie. Love Delilah but Edie Delilah doesn't flow well because of the Ds.

I can get where you're coming from - I totally think it's a hormonal thing though. It's so lovely having a snuggly newborn you don't ever want these early weeks to end.

Are you actually broody...

This^^ I also don't really like El names that much.

Alice Elara, Amélie Clara or Nova Lucia for girls

Henry Beau for a boy

I wouldn't say it goes with Jude, Isaac etc though - it's not a biblical name as far as I'm aware!

It used to be one of my favourite names - DS2 was nearly called Finlay and DD1 would have been had she been a boy. I've gone off it now though. I think it's got too popular and I'm bored of it! I...

Nicholas - can see no appeal to this name at all - just hear "knickerless"
Elijah - like
Aidan - dislike
Reuben - dislike
Luka - I like spelt Luca
Noah - dislike
Isaiah - love the sound but too...

Eva - like this
Harlow - want to like this but the place Harlow is too close to me. Other girls names ending in "oh" I like are Cleo, Hero and Juno.
Ruby - I like but I can't get away from the...

I don't like the sound of Jonas, but love Jonah. Arlo is quite nice, but not keen on Remy or Louie.
