What revolts everyone? And what do you love? Any opinions darlings?

Re: TTC & hunting for names!

You have a different style from me so I'll try to be constructive with my feed back!

BOYS
Arlo - not a fan, sounds like someone slurring a name when they're drunk or the name of a pirate...

Cassius - Can't get past Cassius Clay which he hated and referred to as his slave name. He changed it to Muhammad Ali and I would recommend a change too if you had in mind honouring the legend.

Coysh - Would think this one will have serious pronunciation issues, it seems unfamiliar and foreign to me

Emilio - I like this one! There is something about it though that I just can't quite put my finger on...

Gabriel - Love! Any archangel is good with me:)

Israel - Has a great sound but it's not something I would put on a child for all its religious and political baggage. I do love place names though:)

Jagger - Adore! Think Mick Jagger right?

Joplin - Wow is there a strong music reference coming through here or what! Not loving it as much, I admit

Lars - Not a fan, sounds like a mars bar or some kind of cooking fat to me, sorry

Luxe - As in Luxury? A bit too much, I think

Norm - Like it short for Norman but sounds old manish to me and reminds me of the superstore Harvey Norman and a normal person

Valentino - Love! very classy:)

Vulcheque - This one scares me... Sounds kind of similar to a horror movie or brand of motor bike, sorry


GIRLS
Chloe - Sounds sweet and happy:)

Lou'ah - not a fan of apostrophes in names...

Luella - Reminds me of Cruella de Ville from 101 Dalmatians

Roushe - How do you pronounce this? Seems sort of rough to me, somehow...

Sofie - Love! so soft and pretty but quite popular


MIDDLE NAMES
Flash - Doesn't stand up as a name to me, sounds like the name of your favourite dog.

Jacko - Wacko Jacko? No. Jackson or Jack on the other hand, I love.

Jesus - A LOT of name. Too much I think, unless you're religious or Hispanic

Cookie - Cookie Monster. I can't see this as being an appropriate mn sorry

Thor - Love! God of thunder, good choice:)

Parlour - fancy lounge, not really name worthy material in my opinion

Sorry for being harsh! Honesty is the best policy:) Good Luck!

Re: TTC & hunting for names!

First of all, I see a list of unusual names and I love unusual so yay this will be fun, I'll try give some suggestions or alternatives to your names too:)

Arlo- love this but think it could become very popular

Coysh- prefer Cash
Emilio- don't really like this one
Gabriel- like the nn Gabe not too keen on full name
Israel- not keen
Jagger-pretty cool, baby would have a lot to live up to:)
Joplin- dont hate it , its ok cant imagine a child with this name
Lars- Dislike, reminds me of large potential teasing
Luxe- Reminds me of luxe soap
Norm- Love the name Norman
Valentino- Love this one, very romantic and a sweet name
Vulcheque- scares me, a mix of a vulcan and a cheque sounds strange

GIRLS
Chloe- really nice name but v overused
Lou'ah- interesting, not usually a fan of commas in names but this is lovely
Luella- one of my favourites such a sweetheart name
Roushe- cute nn Roux would be grgeous

Re: TTC & hunting for names!

Sorry, but what is TTC?

Re: TTC & hunting for names!

Sorry, but what is TTC?

Re: TTC & hunting for names!

Trying to conceive...

I like Chloe best of your girl names, as I don't care for apostrophes and I think Luella sounds a bit dated. From your boy names, Arlo is cool and interesting, as is Jagger, and Gabriel is always a handsome classic.

Re: TTC & hunting for names!

I like Arlo, Cassius, Gabriel, Israel & Valentino.
I like Luella the best from the girls gorgeous :)

The middles are pretty crazy for me but I like Thor. Do you have any family middles you might like to use to honor?
