Dh and I are expecting #2 (a suprise), We find the naming part so incredibly difficult it would be great to have some input!

Ds is 2, we mostly shorten Sebastian to "Seb"

If it's a girl I like Alexandra (probably shorten to Alex) and Mahalia (Marli or Arli maybe for short)

For a boy, Noah, or Dh loves Oscar but since our ln is Skinner I think it's too many 'sk' sounds.

other names that have my attention:

Zoe
Sophie
Xavier
Henry

I LOVE Sebastian, what a great choice! The names that immediately came to mind are Felix or Oliver. They seem to work so well with Sebastian. Alexandra is beautiful, but very common. Mahalia is a bit confusing- "ma-hal-ee-yuh"??? I prefer Dahlia or Talia, although the nn Marley is adorable. Noah is great, but gaining in popularity. I would search for something a bit more unique. I LOVE Oscar- that really sucks that it doesn't work with your last name. I LOVE IT!

Zoe- too cutesy
Sophie- too common
Xavier- Love it!
Henry- nice, but a bit plain compared to Sebastian

With Sebastian, the perfect name would be something longer and not too common:

Quentin

Harrison

Oliver

Archer nn Archie

Thaddeus

Leonard nn Leo

Theodore nn Theo

Esmerelda nn Esme

Adeline nn Addie

Carina

Beatrix

Emmeline

Veronica

Matilda

So sorry, I can't stand the name Xavier. Lol it's my brother's name... My name is Sylvia though, and that's close to Sophie.... lol Oscar doesn't really work because of the last name. henry is alright I suppose... I don't have a ton of suggestions for boy's names. My sister's name is Mythandra. So we've got


Xavier Edgar


Sylvia Gwyndolyn


and Mythandra Mary Mariah


all the nieces and nephews are


Ethan Cole, Ava Elaine, Mariah Ashleigh, and Elijah James.. Don't know if any of those help you! I'm preg right now and our Boy name is Lance Wendell Kohl III and for a girl I'm leaning toward Gwendolen Sarah, Gwendolen Leah, or Gwendolen Erin Kohl

From Sylvia, Lance, Ethan, and Miss Ava
