Thoughts on our top 10 names...
I finally got DH to sit down and talk about names. He picked his top 10 out of the twenty-something names for each gender and I picked mine... We're not expecting (that I know of) so there may be changes down the road if you'd care to make suggestions but it was already a pain to get him to look at our list and narrow it down a bit. What do you think of our choices?In order of preference.His - (Mine)1. Audra - Adela
2. Adela - Audra
3. Gwen - Vivienne
4. Alice - Luna
5. Ember - Fiona
6. Ivy - Gwen
7. Luna - Claudia
8. Nova - Adelina
9. Adelina - Elva
10. Almira - Ember1. Damien - Killian
2. Killian - Thorin
3. Loki - Abram
4. Ronin - Silas
5. Thorin - Alister
6. Alister - Henrik
7. Cain - Dimitri
8. Casper - Casper
9. Jupiter - Draco
10. Lazarus - Jupiter

I like Gwendolen but DH prefers just Gwen (he doesn't quite grasp the point of nicknames, he says its redundant to use Gwendolen if she's going to be called Gwen 99.9% of the time) so I compromised.Great combos!! I love them all, especially Killian Thorin and Audra Ember. Thanks :)

I think it's great that you two have the same two names for your top two girls. No matter which one you pick, you'll like the name. Personally I much prefer Adela, or the more streamlined Audrey, but Audra definitely has charm of its own. It's a win win either way.Gwen, Vivienne, Alice, Fiona, Adelina, and Nova are all my favorites from the list. I thought I would like Elva, as I adore Elvira, but I'm from Maine and elver fishing (which sounds like Elva in a Maine accent) is a sketchy underground industry. All of them are underused names with history and melody to them. On the other hand your boys list sounds a little more mythologicaly, a little less grounded. My faves are Abram, Killian, Damien, Silas, Alister (prefer Alastair), and Henrik. But if you decided to go with Luna or Ember as a girls name, Lazarus and Thorin and Draco would fit right up there as a sibling.

They just don't sound like usable names to me. Jupiter reminds me too much of the planet, and Lazarus... Well, in my language, "being lazarus" means being completely drunk, so that ruins it for me.

I like Adela, Vivienne, Gwen (prefer as a nickname for Gwendolen or Gwendoline), Claudia, Alice and Adelina from your girls lists. From the boys Henrik and Alister are ok (but I much prefer Alistair), and I like Casper but spelled Caspar or Kaspar.

I love Audra! I'd totally use that! Cool how it's near the top. I guess Adela is more up to date sounding. I also like Gwen, Vivienne, Ember, Fiona, Claudia, and Ivy.Of the boy names I only like Damien, Dimitri, and maybe Casper. Thorin's okay, and Cain.
