Names nearly done and dusted!

[persephoneplum]

So I think we have settled on names to take to the hospital!

Augustin (my #1)
Reuben
Ambrose

Ursula (my #1)
Audrey
Delphine
Paloma

Very excited and just wanted to share :)

[Nigglenaggle]

Thats great good luck with it all :)

[persephoneplum]

I don't mind, but I guess seeing as we're settled on names, I don't want to hear an "EWWWWWW Ursula the sea witch." comment. I love it and that's that :) But sure, positive or constructive feedback is welcome.

[sonniboo]

Good luck! Glad you've found names you love!

Personally I love Augustin and Ambrose (less keen on Reuben) as well as Ursula and Paloma! Lovely, classic and not overused names - great choices!!

When are you due?

[DottieRose]

Beautiful names...... My faves would be Augustin and Paloma.....please go with Paloma it's so so gorgeous!!

[hugebluebump]

I love all your choices - so refreshing after all the Albies, Archies, Evies, Millies around.

My favourites are Augustin and Audrey, but they're all lovely! Good luck!!

[GetOrfMoiiLand]

I really like all your names. They are great choices.

Ursula and Augustin are my favourites as well.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't like any of the boys' names, sorry.
Audrey is streets ahead in the girls' list imho.

How long have you got to wait? Your excitement is catching! :)

[MoonHare]

Ursula is one of my all time favourite girls names - thrilled to see someone (possibly) about to use it!!!

As a youngster I knew a teenage Ursula and she seemed so sophisticed it left a strong impression on me!

Great name choices all round.

Paloma Faith :-)

[shoobidoo]

Congratulations on your imminent birth and lovely that you've found names YOU love!

Whilst it shouldn't matter what WE think, I really like Augustin and Paloma, but they're all great underused names - great choices imo!

[mopsyflopsy]

Good luck and glad to hear you've found names you love!

[GetOrfMoiiLand]

I have never seen such nice comments on a baby name thread

[DessieLou]

Love Paloma and Delphine! Reuben was our boys name but apparantly it's a girl so will just have to try again in a few years (it better not get popular before then!). Good Luck and congratulations on some lovely name choices!

[birdofthenorth]

Congrats on two lovely interesting short-lists! I love Reuben, Audrey and Paloma. Never even contemplated Ambrose but that's a great characterful choice, too.

What about middle names?

Will you come back post-delivery and let us know what you settled on please?

Good luck!

[Badgerina]

Oooooh I love Ambrose. We're having it as DS2's 2nd middle name :) I like Ursula too and Paloma is also lovely. Good luck!

[winkle2]

Love love love Ursula!

[evamummy]

Good luck with the birth. Glad that you've found names you love!

[phlebas]

like them a lot :) Audrey & Delphine were both on our lists for dd1 & 2 and I really like Ursula! Augustin is great too.

[persephoneplum]

Thanks all so much - it might sound ridiculous but we're not due until later in the year. This baby has been six years in the planning though, so to have a short list after SO much deliberation over many years is a real breakthrough for us :)

Yes, you really were all so nice. Thanks :) I'm really hoping for an Ursula or Augustin but we'll see how we feel when he/she arrives!

[RillaBlythe]

I'd have Ursula or Audrey, & Reuben or Ambrose. Great names.
