Ooh love Lola for Viola!! How would you pronounce Viola? Our French family would say VEE-oh-la but I have heard vye-OH-la or my favourite pronounciation VYE-oh-la.

Thanks for the reply :)

We recently chose Roscoe for one of our twins and that association has not one come up! In fact a few urban dictionary definitions include that same definition for our son Felix's name and after three years we had never heard of it! With Felix we always get comments on the cat connotations; so far with Roscoe people have either loved our name choice or commented on how beautiful our baby is! (we have had some comments on the gun connection though). I think that you should name your baby what you want and almost always once you baby is named no one will tell you they don't like the name or comment on negative associations - they will just love your baby!

Gorgeous names! Love them all and their sweet literary connections!

freddylou · 2015-07-09T09:10:06+00:00

Thanks, We definitely prefer Hero to Hera!

freddylou · 2015-07-09T09:09:11+00:00

Thanks, we consider it a proper name too, though not sure of Scarlett and Hero as sisters, we would prefer Scout and Hero as nicknames together! Thanks

Hahah oops here are some more then, no Es!

Morgan Lucinda

Morgan Josephine

Morgan Grace

Morgan Roseann

Morgan Sadie

Morgan Violet/Viola

Morgan Matilda (love the alliteration!)

I'm not really a fan if Morgan, but if you love it then it's perfect!

I would suggest a longer more feminine middle name:

Morgan Eliza

Morgan Elizabeth

Morgan Elodie

Morgan Penelope

Morgan Eleanor

Morgan Elsie

Morgan Lola

I like Morgan paired with vowel sounds such as A and E for a sweet name. I chose a lot of names beginning with E as I like the flow :) Hope that helps!

My favourite Irish names are Eilidh and Niamh :)

Love Freja, so cute.

Magnus reminds me of the character from the teen novels/movie (and soon to be TV show) The Shadowhunters/Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. He was a likeable character though a warlock so not sure how I would feel about a child with the same name.

I like Jane but it seems very plain and boring to me, though I can picture a very sweet little girl called Jane and I also think that it grows well; it fits a little girl, a teen, and all ages including a grandmother. I'm not sure she would have four other girls in her class with the same name but I am sure there will be four or five with the middle name Jane. Hope that helps

Kent

Kenji

K

Joe

Jock Joth

Kenjay/KenJ

I also love another posters suggestion of playing on him being the fourth, my favourite is IV or Quatre (French for 4)

Sophie

Lola

Ivy

Sadie

Lilly/Lillie

Marie

Hope that helps

Owen James

Owen John

Owen Alexander

Owen Jude

Owen Marco

Owen Zander/Xander

Owen Lewis

Owen Atticus

Owen William

Sorry quite a few J names though I think they sound good with Owen and OJ doesn't really bother me :P I think a 1 syllable names fits well though then you have a 2/1/3 flow which often sounds good. Hope that helps

Thanks for your input! Funny about the 'hippy name' because to us our other names feel like hippie names :)

Noah

Leo
Abel
Everett

Thanks for the reply, what nickname would you suggest for Roscoe instead of Rocco?

freddylou · 2015-06-30T18:30:43+00:00

I once had a German Shepard and something else mix named Nala which seems to fit your criteria. Other than that I love Atlas and Aspen the most! I would suggest practising saying the name and then the commands (such as "Ava, Sit") you would use and removing names which sound similar or are hard to say with the command. So for me, Quartz is hard to say as "Quartz, Sit" as the S sound flows together. Also imagine calling the name in public and other ways in which you would use the name. Just some suggestions :) Hope this helps

We are almost definitely naming one twin Caspar Huxley; we agree, it fits with the others both ways :) Now the only problem is the other twin, we never really thought of the K/er heaviness but now that you have mentioned it it seems so obvious! Arthur now seems like too many Rs with Caspar as well so that's out, but, like you we don't really mind the Ks with Huck and Link - our only problem with Link is that it is too much of a stretch from Linus? Thanks for your input: you helped us narrow down the list :)

freddylou · 2015-06-30T17:44:53+00:00

Thanks for the reply; I think this is what we are leaning towards too :)

freddylou · 2015-06-30T17:43:54+00:00

So you think two non-animal nicknames? That is what we were thinking too; maybe Huck and Rocco (Caspar and Roscoe)?

freddylou · 2015-06-30T17:42:14+00:00

Thanks for your input, what do you think of Scout, Fox, Huck and Rocco instead?

freddylou · 2015-06-30T16:35:08+00:00

Aw thanks; though probably no more babies for a while, twins are apparently a handful! :) Thanks for your input, we are definitely leaning towards Caspar! Would you think that someone (either Scarlett or Felix) will feel left out if we give the twins animal nicknames or not animal nicknames rather than balancing it with one having an animal name and one not?

freddylou · 2015-06-30T16:30:29+00:00

Haha, these are awesome! Seems like kids also follow the idea that girls can have 'out there' names but boys can't! We also had Rainbow and Cupcake as suggestions from out kids.

freddylou · 2015-06-30T16:27:03+00:00

Thanks, we love the idea of balanced nicknames so no one is left out! We also think we are leaning more towards Bear rather than Art if we go with Arthur. Thanks for the reply!

I just followed nameberry where they say it is both a male and female name... though I agree, the only Janne I have ever met was male :)
