Help!!!!

Hi! This is my first post on ivillage so bear with me! hehe!

I am 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby, i gave birth to my first child, Isaac James in May 2005...and am due for my second on July 7th! Scary stuff!

My partner and i have a dilemma in that we can't seem to find a name that we both agree on for the new baby..and so any suggestions would really help us out!

We have decided not to find out the sex of the baby, so we are open to both boys and girls names...preferably more traditional for boys, and names which sound ok with the surname Burns....Eg...i wouldn't subject a child to the agony of being called Scarlett Burns, even though i do like the name!!!

I really hope you guys have some suggestions, else we really are stuck!

The only names we can agree on so far are as follows:

Boy.... Oliver Robert

and

Girl.... Ava (but no middle name decided)

What do you think of these?

Please reply!!!!

Thank You!

I will start off by telling you that i LOVE Isaac James- that's an awesome name! I also love Oliver and Ava, however I don't think Olivier Robert flows wonderfully (probably because Oliver ends in -er and RobERt has it in the middle, so it sounds sort of repetative) Here are some mn ideas for Ava:
Ava Grace
Ava Rose
Ava Nicole
Ava Celeste
Ava Leanne
Ava Elizabeth
Ava Rebekah
Ava Bridget
Ava Claire

I think Oliver is perfect with Isaac, but here are some other ideas anyways:
Simon
Noah
Emmett
Rhett
Nolan
Heath
Samson
Julian/Jude
Mateo
Matthias
Jonas
Courtlan
Jeremiah
Nathan(iel)
Zane
Zachar(y)(ias)
Elliot/Elijah/Elias/Eli

As for girls:
Portia
Linnea
Mattea
Scarlett
Ruby
Violet
Verity
Willa
Adeline
Aveline
Adele
Corinne/Karina
Faye
Zohara
Tabitha
Rebekah

Any you like???

Thank You both so much, Clair is my middle name, and we were unsure as to whether it sounded long enough with Ava, but it's great that you've mentioned it without knwoing it was a consideration!

I think we need to see the baby before deciding 100%, but i'm quite set on Ava.....not too sure on Oliver though! Argh confused! Such a huge decision! Not the greatest to make when you're hormonal either!!!

I hate to say this, because Oliver Robert is one of the prettiest names I've heard lately, but Oliver Burns makes me think of "all over burns," or being burned all over. If your ear doesn't make the same connection, I'd say go for it. It really is a lovely name.
