Need advices and/or ideas

CCRoseand james · September 2011

Hi! I'm Cecelia, 27, expecting Baby number 4. And we can't decide on two names (we don't know baby gender).

We al ready have 2 daughters (Celeste, 6, and Millicent, 20months) and a son (Theodore, 4).

For a boy, we were thinking of Lysander, Liam, Amadeus, Alexander

And for a girl Emily (or Emmy), Amaryllis, Iris, Anastasia

What do you think of these names?

If you prefer to offer any ideas, feel free! (We prefer names that are not too fashionable and quite long. )

Thank you!

I like Alexander and Iris the best.

I love Lysander and Amadeus> I think they work well with your other kids names too!Liam has gotten wayyy too popular for my taste. I like Alexander as well, but I'm a fan of more underused names.

Based on your choices you might also like Alistair, Leonidas, Augustine

Emily, to me, does not go AT ALL with your previous choices. It's just so "Blah" to me and I would never guess that it would be in your sibset. Emmy feels the same. Doesn't go, too cutesy, too popular. Amaryllis is cool, I don't think I would use it but it's cool. Iris is just okay to me and I LOVE Anastasia.

You might like: Cosette, Camilla, Imogene, Estelle

Alexander and Liam are way too popular for me, but I'm not a fan of any of your boy names in general.

What about:

Tobias

Lionel

Ezra

Sheldon

Edwin

I love Amaryllis and Iris.

First off, I LOVE Millicent. Do you call her Millie, or by her full name?

From your boys' list, I like Lysander and Amadeus (if you haven't, you should see the movie/play, since that's the pop culture association; I'm sure you're aware you're going to come off as HUGE classical music fanatics already with this choice).

I'm not crazy about any of your girls names, but I like Iris best. Emily in all her common glory sticks out like a sore thumb. Nix it.
