What are your thoughts please?

[solstice930]

I'm due next week, and I would love to hear other people's thoughts on our short list. It's fine to be totally honest We have favourites but no one to bounce ideas off of. I'd also be interested in other ideas for names.

We don't know the sex, and our DD is called Leila.

Jackson
Connor
Patrick
Harris

Zoe
Orla
Maia
Thea
Ramona (that's my wild card!)

Thanks!

[squoosh]

Patrick and Ramona are my favourites.

Both great names.

[Cassieyellow]

Patrick, Connor, Orla (get confused with the Maia's , Mia's, Maya's and pronunciation!). Zoe is cool too. Good luck. I am due next week too. Xx

[TheCowThatLaughs]

I only like Patrick and Ramona from your list

[GotToBeInItToWinIt]

Patrick and Zoe. Not hugely keen on surnames as first names so that rules out Jackson and Harris for me. Also like Ramona.

[Penguinotterfoxbadger]

Patrick and Harris are both good boys names imo. I don't like Connor (I think it's kind of ugly and also maybe should be spelt Conor?) or Jackson (Jack is great though).

All your girls names are nice imo, but I think Thea and Maia might be a bit awkward to say on the same breath as Leila (iyswim).

[princessvikki]

love jackson that was what i wanted if i was having a boy, also love orla, i would love to use it but we have an irish sounding surname and my hubby wont let me

[CrispyFern]

I like all your boy names. Probably Connor is my favourite.
The girl ones, I like Zoe and Ramona best.

There are too many Maya's and Mias around here, but also, I crossed off Maia and Thea and Orla because I'd pick a name that wasn't two syllable ending with A because I think they sound a bit too matchy matchy together with Leila. But that might just be me.

[patienceisvirtuous]

Love Zoe - that's top if my list.

Like all the boys' names except Jackson.

[Lancelottie]

Harris and Ramona.

Neither of which are names I'd ever have thought of, but they just go nicely with Leila.

[Sophronia]

Patrick and Ramona.

[Guin1]

Harris and Zoe

[Writerwannabe83]

Patrick and Zoe.

We were going to call our baby Zoe if it had been a girl.

[TempsPerdu]

Patrick and Zoe (although I'm a Zoe, so I would say that! ). Like Ramona too. Thea and Maia are nice, but too similar to Leila imo.

[DramaAlpaca]

Harris or Patrick and Ramona or Zoe.

[Murphy29]

Connor, Patrick, Orla and Zoe are my favourites

[stillsingingintherain]

I like Conor (spelt this way) best, followed by Jackson. Cant stand Patrick. Harris is ok but prefer Harry or Harrison.

For girls I love Orla & Ramona is cool. Not so keen on zoe but other two are nice as well

[Billabong21]

Clearly noone alse remembers the story, Ramona the Pest.
Patrick is lovely, Pat is shocking.
Orla is lovely too.

[TheCowThatLaughs]

There was also "Ramona the brave" though, billabong

[Lancelottie]

I liked Ramona the Pest, Billabong!

[Lancelottie]

Orla and Leila might be hard to say together?

[MerryMarigold]

Are you Irish? If you are, I like Connor and Patrick, less so if you aren't.

My Mum is Leila! Great choice. Very exotic.

I like Harris and Ramona and Zoe. Not sure Harris goes with Leila though.

A few other ideas...

Jude, Kirsten, Conrad

[musicinspring1]

Patrick and Zoe.

[musicinspring1]

But I don't like Pat, I would use Ricky which might put you off...

[MishMooshAndMogwai]

Orla!
