We’re due a baby in November:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Haven’t found out the gender yet but I want to have a shortlist of girl and boy names anyway as hopefully they will have siblings one day!!
[name_f]My[/name_f] criteria is:
- [name_m]Easy[/name_m] to say, spell, hear (dh and I have names everyone gets wrong, and hate it)
- roughly pronounced the same in the main European languages
- Ends in consonant. Our surname starts with vowels which makes vowel endings hard to say
Boys: [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_u]Leon[/name_u], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_u]Amos[/name_u], [name_m]Emil[/name_m]. We’re very happy with these 
Girls: where are the simple spellings, 4-5 letters, ending in consonants?? I can’t find any equivalent to these boys names.
I love these but they all end in vowels…
[name_u]Alma[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Jenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
Options that could work but I just don’t love or there are too many sp/pnc options:
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethan[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]?
Please help!
Maybe…

Sometimes a vowel clash isn’t a bad clash. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_u]Anderson[/name_u] doesn’t both me, for eg, because they’re different vowels (and the repeat S helps).
But assuming consonants are the only way (and assuming rhotic English):
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helps!
It seems like a lot of vintage names are more likely to end in consonants - [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] - I actually quite like these names! Still very keen on the modern boys names above tho …
If we were blessed with siblings, do you think it would make for mismatched sibsets?
For example
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_u]Leon[/name_u], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
??
Sorry for any repeats!
