since we don't want to share with people IRL. What do you think of these names? We haven't decided for sure, but we are having a hard time coming up with names.
Girl: Aveline (av-uh-lean) Celia
Boy: Eamon (a-min) James
Thanks.
* Edited to add pronunciations (as requested). I am honestly surprised to find that it is difficult to figure out how to pronouce these names (and this has been noted).

Re: asking here...
Love the girl name. very pretty.
Boy name not so much my style, but not awful.
not common, so that's a plus.
but not sure that I like them.
Aveline - It's OK. Reminds me of Avalon, which is neither good nor bad - just that it reminds me a place.
Eamon - that's tough. Be prepared for a lifetime of mispronunciations. But at the same time I wouldn't suggest an alternate spelling, and it sounds fine.
I think both names are fine choices.
I am a runner, knitter, scientist, DE-IVF veteran, and stage III colon cancer survivor.
I was merely guessing my pronunciation the first time around. Although I'm still unsure if you're saying Aveline with a long A or a short one.
I like Aveline, but Eamon is nms.
I think he will be constantly correcting people. I think 99% of people will pronounce it "Eee-mon" or just stare at it and ask how to say it.
Love Aveline though!
I love Eamon - great Gaelic name
It's on the top of my list for boy names. Unfortunately, the hubs has vetoed it. Sad day.
Aveline - def. tricky to pronounce. As a teacher, I would definitely pronounce this wrong on the first day (I would probably say Av-uh-line) Maybe spell it Avalene? Avilene? The more I write it, the more it starts to sound like Valvoline. . . (sorry!)
Eamon - Much easier to pronounce. NMS, but it's a nice name.
