Boy Name Help!

shanaynerz

Hey ladies!

Just looking for some feedback on boy names. We're having boy/girl twins. We've pretty much decided on Elise for the girl (runner-up was was Adilyn), but the boy name has been a nightmare. DH really liked Damon, but I wasn't sure about it, so now we liked Xander. 

What do you ladies think about Damon or Xander? TIA!

ETA: Our 16 month old DD is Chloe.

I like Alexander with a NN of Xander. I don't think either name goes well with Elise which is classic. Your boy names are quite "trendy". So I guess my vote would be Elise and Alexander

Thanks for all your advice! @bromios thanks for your thoughts. ☺️ I've been so anxious this pregnancy!

DH really liked Damon (better than Damien) but of course I asked on my BMB and the few people who said anything didn't like Damon much. I do think I like it better than Xander though.

I have a son Xander so that is were my vote goes. I don't like Damon at all.

I like Xander better than Damon. I'd prefer it as a NN for Alexander, but I still think it's a cool name.

Xander is ok, but I agree it doesn't seem like it goes well with Elise. Don't like Damon.

I like the suggestions of Isaac, Beckett, and Donovan.

Other ideas: Bennett, Landon, Carson, Dawson, Finn, Jude, Patrick, Rowan, Theo, Wyatt, Dylan, Xavier, Simon, Caleb, Julian, Owen, Spencer, Gavin?

Damon/Damien makes me think of The Omen and really creeps me out. I like Xander as a nn, but prefer Alexander.

I love your choice for your girl.
