Love Ivo, and Isadora!

The meaning of Hector (bully, torment) would put me off, as would the lack of nicknames (Heck?).

Edgar and Maeve for me

I love all of them!

They all fit nicely with your other DC,and are all lovely in their own right.

I can't even choose a favourite,which is very unusual for me Grin

I like the NN Tor for Hector....but the meaning does put me off a bit.

Yes, the verb hector puts me off a tad too. I think I would still use it though!
I don't think I'd use a nickname. Louis is always Louis; never Lou.

I would use Dora for Isadora by the way. Not keen on Izzy!

I would pronounce it Eye-vo, not Eee-vo by the way!

I think of Hector as in the Illiad - such a wonderful character!
Isadora is also lovely!

These are great choices - like all of them, and all go with with your dcs. If I had to choose I'd go for Greta and Ivo.

Edgar & maeve

Report
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/03/2013 20:19

Hector

Maeve or Isadora both lovely but Maeve pips it for me.

Don't like Ivo or Ivy and Rose just seems to be a default add-on tbh.

Ivy and Rose are our grandmothers' names; we'd very much like to honour them, so they are a must.

My dd's middle name is Greta. Gorgeous name.

Isadora or Greta, not keen on Rose or any of the boy names though, sorry.

I think they are all really, really lovely.

My favourite boy's name is Ivo, just pipping Edgar and a little ahead of Hector.

For a girl, I love them all equally. (Sorry, no help).
