I know it may seem a bit twee, to have 'themes' but I would like some help with names. For a girl, we already have Jade, and have come up with 2 possibilities if bump is a girl. Amethyst (shortened to Ammy) or Sapphire (shortened to Saffy). Any suggestions on other gemstone names for girls? NOT Krystal...have aquaintance with DD named this.

For boys we have a Logan and an Ayden, and my baby that was sb in 2008 was named Korben. I would like a boys name ending in 'en' 'on' or 'an', preferably one that isn't too commonly used (nothing in the top 50 please!)

I dislike Logan is VERY common but if that doesnt bother you then cool . . and why spell Ayden like that?

Not being rude but I never understand people that spell basic names with different letters. IMO you arent making your child any more stylish or unique you're just giving them a life of spelling out their name.

I like Saffy though

I love Pearl for a girl

What about Evan for a boy?

(lillysa - you have been rude - you have slagged off the names she's given her existing sons)

Sorry - should have also said - I like Sapphire

Emerald is nice too - and could be shortened to Emma if she finds it a bit of a mouthful when she's older
