We are 3 weeks away from Baby #2 and we are working on our names list. I named our DD1 (Sadie) so DH thinks it's his turn to choose the name. His name choices tend to be a bit ... different. Here is what he's down to....
Girls:
Charis
Ripley
Sawyer
Domino
Boys:
Cason
Aliath (pronounced like Elias, but with a th...)
Navarro
Middle name for girl will likely be August and middle names for a boy will be either Harris, Heinz or a combo. Thoughts? I have a fave from each list and some that I don't think I can live with but I will leave that out of the equation and just wait to see what you ladies think without me biasing you
Re: Narrowing down the names
Here are some suggestions that are somewhat similar, maybe you can get your husband to compromise!
Girls - Any way you might consider Augusta instead of August?
Charis - Carrie, Karen, Carmen
Ripley - Rhiannon, Aurora nn Rory
Sawyer - Selene, Samantha, Savannah
Domino - Diana, Dahlia, Dinah
Boys - What is a 'combo' of Harris and Heinz?
Cason - Jason, Carson, Peyton
Aliath - Atlas, Elias, Silas
Navarro - Nathan, Nero
Charis Augusta is nice.

Oh boy. That's basically what I've been thinking too. Charis is my number one favorite and Cason is the boys name that I can tolerate. I considered Charis Augusta but we have a last name that ends with -a and I don't love how it sounds together... I prefer August which has special meaning for us as it's our anniversary of dating/getting married/finding out we were expecting this baby (all actually on the exact same day).
Combo of Harris/Heinz wouldn't be an actual combination of the names into one but something like Harris Heinz, Heinz Harris, Harris or Heinz. It's for my grandfathers and are family names which wouldn't be continued after this baby so I would like to have both in there. I don't care too much for what the middle name sounds like, it's the first name that's stressing me out!!
My choices would be...
Girl
Charis
Ruby
Boy
Cohen (LOVE this one)
Theo

ETA: Charis is a real name and spelled correctly. It's pronounced care-iss, so hopefully that's what you're aiming for. Cason is not a real name.
Charis - This is okay, but so much less feminine than Sadie
Ripley - Reminds me of Alien, and it's a surname with male connotations
Sawyer - Male
Domino - WHUTTT, no. This is poo poo.
Boys:
Cason - Made up
Aliath (pronounced like Elias, but with a th...) - UMMMMM no
Navarro - Like Dave Navarro? How bout Navarr-NO
I see that you like Ruby and Theo. Those are both fantastic names and I implore you to choose them.

Baby #2- EDD: 07/18/17
Charis - I prefer Carys. Charis looks like chairs to me... And i like the pronunciation care-iss more than Kar-iss
Ripley - Riley?
Sawyer - Stephanie. Stella.
Domino - Dominic.
Boys:
Cason - Carson
Aliath (pronounced like Elias, but with a th...) - awful. Go with Elias.
Navarro - way too surname-y for me.
Keep working.
I like Carys a lot and Ruby is great too. Theo is ok. I think you need to go back to the drawing board and figure this thing out together!
Charis is actually great!
