HelpRe: Expecting #3 and need help with a name!
in reply to a message by jenngrg
Nice... we have some similar requirements. My DH is Filipino, so the names must be pronounceable there too (lots of Spanish flair over there). Our boy (should we have one) will also have the middle name Charles after my father.
We have Evren Charles on our list (which may be pushed off, so I won't be offended if you happen to love it and use it).
I like Rowan a lot, but find Oliver a bit overused and Finley NMS (not my style).
Sutton is fresh, but I know a lot of people with that surname.
Eloise is lovely, and I also like Aloisia (al-oh-isha)
Elsa is about to boom due to Frozen, so I would stay away from that.
Annabel is adorbs, but I would love to see Annaliese or just Anna instead. Though, it totally works if you love it.
Luella is lovely and you rarely hear it. Some similar names might be Noelle or Noella, and Luana (I have an Aunt in Italy named this, never met another).
Violet is actually very cute on a child. I know one and I just love saying her name. I personally prefer Viola, but I have a thing for nounish names.
Aria is cute, and has the very musical air to it... so I would consider something else musical like Harmony, Melody, Clarion or Minuet. (not everyone on BtN will agree with these suggestions though).
Some other suggestions:
BOYS (I also notice you seem to like unisex names for boys)
Cody
Simon
Ellis
Grant
Alden
Graham
Reid
Tobin
Merrit
Noah
Brennan
Gracin / Grayson
Fintan
Dashel / Dashiell
Blaise / Blaze
GIRLS:
Aida / Ada
Marina
Clarissa
Celia
Sabrina
Elise
Valerie
Anya
Liana
Sidonie
Mila
Liora
Sadie
Eden
Maura
Camille
Hope that helps!

I've never heard of Evren! I actually quite like it - sounds similar to Evan but not as common - very refreshing! The combo Evren Charles is lovely, too.
DH and I are leaning more towards Rowan because of the popularity of Oliver.
Aloisia is different - I'm also really liking Eloisa.
Anneliese is actually on my list as well - I love the combo Violet Anneliese, so we may use that. Ann is my middle name, and Violet honours DH's grandmother.

Dashel / Dashiell - love the nn Dash!
