I am only 7 weeks but since dh and I have a long history of arguing over names, we need to start early! I am pretty sure of the boy name, but not the girl name. Can you help? Her middle name must be Margaret. Our other children are Maddox, Miles and Juliet.

I voted for Vivian. I think it's a pretty name, and has potential for good nick names. I also like Hazel.

I voted for Josephine. It wouldn't sound good with our last name, but I think it's an oldie that's ready for a comeback. Josie is cute, too.

Our boy name is Miles and our girl name is Juliet! And I love Margaret. My daughter is Eve, just thought I'd throw that out there as a suggestion But yours are all great, though I'm not a fan of Isla.

Rowan. I would use this name in a heartbeat if dh would agree to it. I've loved it ever since I read "The Rowan" as a teenager.

I voted Rowan, and I swear it's not because Josephine is our first choice right now and Adele and Alice are on our list!

Anyway, I picked Rowan because (a) your other names are more unusual than old-fashioned and so Rowan seems to fit and (b) I think Rowan Margaret sounds really nice.

I totally would have Rowan on my list, except for the fact that it's a university very near here, and that's the association people in my area would have.

I like Josephine and Adele bc they are old fashioned and beautiful. Rowan seems to modern to me for the rest of your names. Isla is pretty but there could be pronounciation issues.
post #14 of 26
I voted Hazel... but Rowan and Alice are lovely too.


I'd stay away from Isla.... I think it has the potential to make your kid very frustrated as they'll have to spell and pronounce it for everyone they meet. And yeah, as I type this my spell check tells me Isla must be a spelling error... it's underlined in red.

Isla, Josephine, Adele or Hazel. Obviously there's always gonna be an "other". sorry, can't really narrow it down.Well, maybe I like Isla more than Josephine.
post #16 of 26
I like most of the girl choices. With your other kid's names I would lean towards Isla. I adore the others but with a sister named Juliet (DS would of been a Juliet BTW ), a Josephine just doesn't compare.

i like isla.

Oh right I didn't even put the Maddox and Vivien together. Yes,I think people would "ASSume" you were trying to be Angelina with a Maddox AND a Vivien.

I chose Josephine since it might be nice to have 2 boys that start with M and 2 girls that start with J. You could call her Josie or something as well for short. You could actually make a few nice nicknames with that name.

Rowan.

I like some of your other names, but I don't think they flow with Margaret.
post #19 of 26
I voted Rowan. I love that name for a boy or a girl.

I also like Alice and Hazel quite a bit.
post #20 of 26
Vivian makes me think of a boys name...I must have heard a boy called that somewhere down the line.

I voted for Alice, I love that name.
