I just used the Coldplay names because they're my favorite band... no topic snatching intended. Rosemary nn Romy is a gorgeous name... would your husband go for Rosemary Juno? That has a cute ring, I think. And Nicolo from your list is a great way to get to Nico for a guy! I’m sorry!

Nico, Ava, and to some extent even Rex are the worst offenders. I would have preferred they use Nicole and Nico as a nn, but I think it's not as masculine as it could be. At least her name isn't Jagger Joseph Blue like a star who shall not be named... They did use a lot of Hollywood names… Nico, Ava, and to some extent even Rex are the worst offenders.

I love that they used Alison. So lovely, and so unappreciated anymore, I think. Most of the names aren’t my thing, specifically, but they beat the crap out of most Hollywood names.

(I know it's to honor her mom - a reasonable namesake in any case). Am not a big fan of Chloe - one of the top names in the UK for the last while and it's about as tired as Emily in terms of usage, but in the states probably not so much. That's more just my ear. William is a great name, solid and steady, but nothing to be surprised about. I like Rex and Juno. They're fun! And they're probably the only ones I really like (other than Blythe) from the list.

Which I am now deleting ... :) I don't hate Apple. I don't get it, but I like it better than some other noun names, like Destiny or Trinity or Genesis, which just strike me as too heavy with meaning to work for a personal name. But I agree with Lola - Blythe Allison is a great pair of middle names. I really love Blythe. And Juno is on my short list. (My husband isn't wild about it.) And we've already settled on Rosemary, nn Romy, if we ever have a second girl. But I love Juno. If Clio had been a boy, Nico was a possibility, though we would've put Nicholas or Nicolo on the birth certificate. I'm actually surprised Moses hasn't been heard more often. They're certainly a creative bunch! Funny, I have a draft post in my queue about this exact topic! Which I am now deleting … :)

Can't they see the "Hey I wanna snack on Apple" sort of jokes she'll get for years? *sigh* I love her brother's names, and even little Apple's middles. Nico on a girl makes me want to weep. So unfeminine! But Ava (while not my thing is still a fine choice), Rex & Juno are a stellar set. I have a major soft spot for Rex myself. What a grand little name! But then, I like William/Will & Marianne as names too! I loathe Apple.
