[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] ( chose this spelling because worried lila will be pronounced " lil-a" )
[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] rose

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] claire
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]

[name_m]Brody[/name_m]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]

I vote for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f].

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! I chose that over [name_f]Ann[/name_f] because [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] runs together. I think [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] is great and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] has gone to the girls. I think [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] would work with any of your choices. [name_m]Brody[/name_m] and [name_m]Jett[/name_m] are nms.

I like [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]! [name_m]Jett[/name_m] is cool. And yep I agree that [name_u]Avery[/name_u] feels girlish now. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] flows very well.

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (nickname JJ would be cool, but [name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] works too!)
I think most people see [name_u]Avery[/name_u] as female, and [name_m]Jett[/name_m] does sound cool!

I love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]!
My favorite names with [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] are [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].
I can’t really see [name_m]Jett[/name_m] on a person, especially an adult, although it is a cool name.
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] is one of those “unisex” names that seem pretty firmly tied to one gender [name_f]IMO[/name_f], it is more girly than masculine to me.

I like [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]. I know [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is popular for girls, but I actually only know boy Averies (one adult, one toddler).

My two favorites from your girls list are [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] & [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f].

From your boys list, for me [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] has the best flow. [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] has too many long O-sounds & [name_u]Avery[/name_u] & [name_m]Jett[/name_m] are NMS.

I don’t know any girl Averys, but I do know two boy Averys…both between the ages of 10 & 20.

Wow thank you ladies for the replies!!! I love all the suggestions!

lilah [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is pretty.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is second.
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] is over the top popular
[name_u]Kasen[/name_u] [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Weston[/name_m] [name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Justice[/name_u]
Yes, [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is very feminine.
[name_m]Zayne[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u]

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]

Clear winners [name_f]IMO[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] for girls (I’m not a fan of [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]) and [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] or [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] for boys.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]!

I think the best combo is [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] flow wise however stylistically are very different. I think [name_u]Avery[/name_u] does work quite well for a boy however I’m just not sure with [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]…

Here’s a few ideas…
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (similar style to [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] imo)
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]

(I personally am not a fan of [name_m]Jett[/name_m] but if you like it use it!)
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m]

[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_m]Damien[/name_m]

And here’s some ideas for a first name for [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]:
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Bradley[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] (I’m a fan of 2 middles!)

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] are my favourites, but [name_m]Jett[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] would be cool too! Personally, I see [name_u]Avery[/name_u] as completely unisex and I can picture it on any gender.

Wow ladies loving the feedback! Thanks so much .

[name_f]Do[/name_f] names [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] and [name_m]Brody[/name_m] sound like they go together / same style etc.? Also stuck on a middle namefor [name_m]Brody[/name_m]. Last name begins with H so dont want a mouth full. Does brody [name_m]Alan[/name_m] or brody [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] sound better? Any other options??

I feel like [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] has the best flow but personally I’m not a fan of the name [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] so my vote goes to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (actually a personal fave). I love the name [name_f]Claire[/name_f] as a middle but I’m just not sure [name_f]Claire[/name_f], or [name_f]Ann[/name_f] for that matter, sound the best with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], but obviously that’s just my opinion.
With [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] I would use a middle that’s more than one syllable, such as [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Lilith[/name_f].

To me, [name_m]Brody[/name_m] goes a bit more with sisters’ names like [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_f]Keira[/name_f] and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]. Of the two, [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] goes better with [name_m]Brody[/name_m] than [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for sure.

I would use [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] as a first with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (or [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]). Or a name like [name_m]Casper[/name_m]/ Japser, [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_m]Simon[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u].

If going with [name_m]Brody[/name_m], I would go with [name_m]Alan[/name_m] over [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] just in case he gets [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_u]Jody[/name_u] etc. Is [name_m]Alan[/name_m] a family name? It’s nice to use honour names for middles. Otherwise, [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Harris[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Jett[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Cormac[/name_m].

All great points and suggestions. Thank you!!! Anyone else?
