What do you think of these names?

Hey everyone!
My husband and I are due on April 1! We're very excited and have names all picked out (we won't be able to find out the sex until next month). Here's what we have so far:

Boy: Ezra Charles Alan O___
Girl: Margo Amogene Flora O____

What do you think? My only concern is with how Margo will sound with our last name. Last name is two syllables with a long "O" sound. Does that bother you at all?

Another question, not on names however. The two of us really do want to find out the sex, but we kind of want it to be a surprise for our family and friends. Did anyone else do that? It just feels a bit weird, and I honestly don't know how long I could keep a secret like that!

Thanks for the help and advice!

Congratulations! :-)

Ezra Charles Alan O____: I LOVE the name Ezra! I think it's amazing! Some find it feminine, but I don't. I love the flow of Ezra Charles Alan. :-)

Margo Amogene Flora O____: I think that Margo is very pretty, but I personally don't think it works well with a last name beginning with a long O. I know of Imogene, but have never heard of Amogene. Is it a family name? I really love Flora! :-)

Instead of Margo, what about Margaret or Marielle?

I haven't had babies yet, but I know I won't be able to keep the baby's sex a secret from myself, let alone friends and family. :-)

Best wishes to you! :-)

Thanks for the ideas and advice!

All the middle names are from family. Amogene is my husband's grandmother, and my mother's name is Florence. I love how gram spells her name (though she's never really liked it and has always gone by her middle name, Ruby!)

I know, the Margo-O thing has always sounded kind of weird to me, but we both love it so much. Other girl names we've thought of are:

Aria Juliet Stodder (though both of us are involved with music/theatre/opera, and we don't know if that might sound a bit silly)
Audra Ruby Flora

The other name we love for a boy is Atticus, but we're in love with Ezra just a bit more!

You're in muscial theatre! I used to be, and nearly majored in it before I changed my mind. I'm a huge Broadway freak! :-)

If the Margo O ending doesn't bother you, that's the ONLY thing that matters!

I love the names Ruby and Florence/Flora, and am jealous of your family tree. :-)

If you love Margo Amogen Flora, I say go for it!

I also love Margot (breaks up the visual of back-to-back O's)...
Margot Amogen Flora.

Either way, I think it's lovely.

I've always been a huge Ezra fan, too. :-)

I LOVE Juliet more than Aria, but I do think that Aria is lovely.

Do you have any favorite names from favorite musicals?

Thanks so much for the help! I honestly can't think of any characters that I absolutely adore (at least their names!) I'm a big fan of Aida, but that's so close to the others that I've chosen...

I really think we're going to go with Ezra/Margo. We really like how they sound together (in case we end up having a boy and a girl down the road) - we like the unconventional "a" ending for a boy, and "o" for a girl. We live in Maine, and neither of these names have hit the area. But they're still not out there in the least!

I'm still open to any ideas though!

Love them both!

I love Ezra and Margo! I think the phonetic spelling of Margot would be good for clearing up pronunciation issues, especially when she's younger. Depending how you pronounce Magro (MAR-go or mar-GO) not much of a difference in itself but it will make a difference with your last name. I suggest MAR-go to create the best flow with your last name. Love all middles too!

Good Luck:)

I like them both :)

i love them !
