DH and I aren't making much progress together. What names could you add to our list that might suit our taste? Or what do you think of our list?

Theo - DH not keen
Hugo - DH not keen
Sebastian - feels a bit long and formal
Finn - feels a bit incomplete
Austin - just not sure
Otis - can't use
Max - can't use

Lola - she was a show girl?
Neve
Honor
Ava - too popular?
Nova - probably too modern for DH
Vida - probably too modern for DH
Briar - just not sure
Sienna - can't use
Riley - can't use

You could shorten Sebastian to Seb, then it wouldn't seem so formal

Otto. Teddy, Finlay nn Finn. Rex.

Honor is lovely. And unusual but simple. If you both like Honor, I'd stick with that.

Your name choices are fab and also love the suggestions made.

I have a Joel and Ivy and I think these names are similar.

I like Lola and Honor. Lola is top 50 name so I wouldn't worry about showgirl issue as there are a fair few Lola around.

I like your boys name although I think Theo and Max are a bit middle of the road. Sebastian is my favourite.

If you like Briar what about Bree/Brianne/Briony?

Orson for a boy?

I love Lena for a girl.

Like Noah for a boy. I like pretty plain names though.

I don't like Lola at all because of the showgirl/transvestite/lolita connection. Nova is lovely though.

Really dislike Hugo, Finn and Theo. Am liking Austin.
