I have faves, but DH isn't on board. I'm hard to be swayed, but am hoping to broaden my horizons.
We have Fiona Mae and Linus Henry
Girl's names I like:
Ruby Eloise Eloise Love Lucy, but it's obviously out. Would totally use that name if it weren't for damn Peanuts. Violet Hazel Scarlett (kind of?)
Boys:
Felix is my fave and will be super hard to budge on, but DH is meh. Simon I liked Oliver a lot, but it's gotten super popular in my area. I like Miles, but we have a babydoll named Miles and I realized I didn't love it lol. Milo maybe a little
I honestly love ALL of those. I was trying to keep tabs of which deserved honorable mention but then I realized they all do, lol. You by far have the best taste in name, I think.
How do you say Milo? I grew up with one that it was pronounced Me-lo but my H told me I'm wrong and it's My-lo but thats really how the kid pronounced it!
My friend just had a baby and named her Ruby! Super cute name. I would think it was more cute if that wasn't the name of a close friend's cat but I personally have way too many associations with too many names! Boys names are tough. I really love Oliver and H was meh on it. Who cares if it's popular - if you love it, go for it!

Thanks! I've only ever heard it pronounced My-lo, don't know if the other one is a foreign pronunciation or something maybe??
I love all of your boy choices. I pushed for Oliver (my great-grandfather's name, whom I adored as a kid), but my BFF's brother used it a couple of months before C was born.
Of your girl names, I love Eloise and Hazel. The others are pretty, but a few of them have gotten too popular for my taste (Hazel too, but I'll give it a pass because I love that name so much).
All of these names are great, can't go wrong with any.
I love Felix. We couldn't use it because DHs first name is Felipe and Felix Felipe didn't work.
Of the girl names I can't pick one because I really love them equally. The only one I don't really care for is Scarlett but its not bad, just would be second choice to the others.
I really like Ruby and Eloise and Milo/Miles. I like Felix in general but with the sibset I like Milo or Miles better. However, I think with Milo you just have to accept that it might get mispronounced- I know some me-lows and some My-lows it just depends.
I love them all, especially your girl names, my third girl that I will never have, my name is Fiona Joy, and Calista's middle name is Mae so we have similar taste in names. I personally love Violet and Hazel the most.

After much consideration, I like Violet the best with your sibset. It has the same "I" sound as Linus and even though Fiona is a different sound it also had "I" as the second letter. I love Linus, Fiona & Violet!
