I am due next week and still havent thought of a name I am totally stuck.
My other children are:

Jessica Alice
Jacob Alexander
Bethan Marie

number 4 is a girl . Middle name will be grace.

I would quite like a more unusual name my other children have really common names thanks to my husband who keeps vetoing all my pretty ones! so it needs to be something inoffensive to him too!

any ideas?

What are the pretty names that you like but your husband doesn't?

Not a J name obviously, or Bethan will feel very unloved

I prefer traditional names, and as you say the rest are nice and normal:

Laura Grace
Abigail Grace
Oooh how about Alana Grace?

Love Eloise as well and also Tabitha. Why does he not like them and would he even remember what he has vetoed!
Would keep trying to persuade him if I were you.

I like Ava and Nina!
I doubt he would remember he has this wierd thing about names being too "frilly". Although I think he gets this off his mum who thought Bethan was a bit over the top lol.

OP - many of your list are actually quite traditional names as well as being pretty - there is nothing to dislike about them... in fact all are lovely!! I especially like Antonia and Eliza. Antonia means 'priceless'. Get him to have a re-think!!
