I've been a bit lost with names lately (not sure about what I really love), both in English -so, names I won't probably use- and in Catalan -names I'll use someday-. But today I was in a good mood, and I got this sib set I'm really LOVING, in English:

---

Hayden Rhys
India Celeste
Korë Stella -newest addition, I think it's so beautiful and fresh! (Kore for the link)
Zephyr Milo
Finnegan Charles "Finn"

---

And then, about Catalan names, I did as Ciarda suggested (thank you, Kerry, it took me long, huh?), and made up some combos with Catalan names, even though I probably won't use them...or I will, who knows? (Middle names are really uncommon here)
But, anyway, I'm really lost, I'm just sure about one girl's name, and two boys' names. I think I'll re-do my list with a book someday soon, I can't stand not having a good list that I'm sure of. So, the names are:

---

Hug Daniel -OOK duh-nee-ELLE, Daniel is quite common, but as a mn I wouldn't mind, and few Daniels use always their full name, most of them are "Dani".
Berenguer Jaume -buh-ruhn-GEH JOW-muh, "G" as in "get" and "JOW" as in NOW. Berenguer is really really unusual now, but it has lots of history, and it's a classic Catalan name. Jaume is usual among adults, but not so much among kids.

---

I also love Mateu, Romeu, Iu, Maties and Oleguer for a boy, but I prefer Hug and Berenguer.

---

For the girls:

---

Tanit Camèlia -tuh-NEET kuh-MEH-lee-uh, both names are totally unheard of, and I've loved Tanit for almost as long as I remember.

---

I'm also thinking about:
Ginebra Queralt -ji-NEH-bruh kuh-rAHL, I adore it, but as I explained on the post about Ginevra down the board, it must be difficult to be named Ginebra, since it means gin in Catalan.

---

Estel·la, Elisenda, Meritxell, Cora (similar to Korë), Griselda, Tura, Cèlia, Zoa... are also in my mind.

---

So, what do you think of all the names?
Thanks a lot!

EDIT: to add the link to Korë (Kore)
