I like both Owen and Oliver and for a girl Fiona. All great names though.

Really like Adrian, Alexander, and Violet

Adrian and Hannah. I was actually thinking Jonathan might be cute for a sibset.

I really like all of your names on both lists. I do like Hannah and Fiona the best from your girl list, and Oliver and Owen from your boy list.

My brother's name is Benjamin. I'm Holly and we have another brother named Andrew, nn Drew.

Andrew was our runner up from DS. We love the name, but won't use it because DH's longtime roommate FN is Benjamin & LN Andrews so we would feel weird about it.

Question about Violet, our LN is pronounced "eyed," do people think that sounds strange or silly with Violet being that its a color? I love the name Hazel but would never use it because Hazel Eyed is a ridiculous name. Is Violet Eyed just as bad?

Beatrice or Violet for a girl. John for a boy

@Hisgirlfriday929 Thank you! That's what I needed to hear. My sister had me convinced that it sounded like a movie star name.

Yes, it's just as bad

All of your names are great. From your list my favourites are Alexander and Hannah.

If DD had been a boy she would have been Benjamin. Other names on our list were: Henry, Isaac, Nathaniel, Lucas, Joshua // Sophie (DD), Olivia, Elise, Nora, Alexandra

I like Hannah or Bridget with Elizabeth. Your other girl names are beautiful, but I think paired with Elizabeth there are too many syllables for my taste.

I love Alexander Daniel and Simon Robert
