14 weeks pregnant with DC2. DD1 is Isobel Edith. We are totally stuck for this DC - we have a list for DDs and DSs - but none of them are jumping out at us yet. What do you think? What are you favourites, and can you think of any others along similar lines?
Possible girl names:
Georgia (DH is a secondary school teacher and says he teaches too many (the Isobels obviously haven't hit yet!)
Gabrielle (nn Gaby; I love it, but DH doesn't)
Daisy (we both like this but are worried it's too cutesy)
Alice (DH's front runner. I like it but just not quite enough)
Charlotte (nn Lottie - but there's a family pet called Lottie so it's out)
Alyssa (DH hates it)
Tess (DH loves it; I like it, but not sure if it's a full name in its own right and don't like Teresa)
Lydia (DH not keen)
Possible boy names:
Arthur (my all-time fave; DH thinks it doesn't reduce easily to a one-syllable nickname and apparently this is important)
Alfred (nn Fred; we both think this is okay, but only okay)
Leo (meh?)
Oscar (next-door-neighbour's child is called this)
Thomas (too boring?)
Edward (Ted - both quite keen but SIL's ex is called Edward and she might be pissed off. Though he wasn't called Ted for short.)
Clearly we are overthinking! I think we might just keep a list and decide when the baby is born. Plus there's a long time to go. But I'm bored working from home today and interested what you think!
