Help me narrow down my shortlists please?

[Sleeplessme]

Hello, I'm due in 4 weeks and the search for a name for DC 3 is getting increasingly more frustrating, especially as DH and I don't agree on anything. We've come up with 3 boys and 4 girls names that we both quite like (though not yet love!) Can you tell me which you like best, if any, and why? Many thanks

Boys:
Benjamin
George
Christopher

Girls:
Phoebe
Georgia
Matilda
Louisa

I like all your boys names but I prefer Ben and Chris as appose to Benjamin and Christopher.
Out of your girl's names. Louisa is very pretty and I love Georgia. I have an irrational hatered of the names Matilda and Pheobe.

[justjodie92]

I like George and Georgia best. With Matilda in second place

[Millipedewithherfeetup]

Christopher and louisa is my choice, tbe others are ok too, but prefer these !

[Mrsfrumble]

All lovely. With regard to the boy names, it depends how you feel about shortening. Benjamin will end up as Ben. Trust me, I have one! Same with Christopher and Chris, unless you get in there first with Kit or Topher as a nickname.

I love Phoebe. It's probably the most commonly used from your list. Louisa is very pretty and quite unusual these days.

[FrostyRose]

George and Phoebe :)

[chocolatecheesecake]

Benjamin and Louisa are my favourites.

George is fine but so heavily used at the moment your son might well be known as George S (or whatever your surname begins with) once he reaches nursery.

I hate Georgia. It seems a clunky heavy name to me. Matilda and Phoebe are OK but Louisa is elegant, not too common, and has scope for nicknames. Lulu etc

[SevenSeconds]

My favourites are Benjamin, Georgia and Tilly (Matilda).

I like Christopher, mainly because I LOVE Kit as a nn and would use that. I like Benjamin too. George (and Georgia) I find quite yawnsome, I teach loads of them. Georgia I also find quite clunky, I prefer Georgina.
I like Matilda but I love Louisa, it's so elegant and underused.
So, Christopher and Louisa.

[Sleeplessme]

Thank you all so much for your replies. I wish I could say it was helpful but you all seem to prefer quite different names

Although seems like Louisa is a bit of a favourite out of the girls names and either Benjamin or Christopher out of the boys names. I do not mind Chris or Ben (dislike Benny though, makes me think of Benny Hill!) I still like George and do worry about it's popularity after the birth of a certain royal little boy, however where I am from I have not come across a single one either in DD class or DS nursery so perhaps people are shying away from it because they fear it's so popular? Hmm, so hard to choose!

[TiffanyAtBreakfast]

Personally I like Phoebe/Louisa best from the girl options and Benjamin for a boy.

[Sophronia]

Christopher and Louisa are my favourites. I like Kit as a nn for Christopher.

[Sleeplessme]

Thank you guys. I'm getting a bit closer to narrowing down my girls list, thinking Phoebe or Louisa now, possibly seeing what she looks like, if indeed she is a girl! Still undecided about the boys though, think boys names are way more difficult.

[Rosaaa]

I like Christopher for a boy best from your names. I also like Chris as a nickname.
I like all your girls names apart from Phoebe. Probably like Georgia and Matilda best, then Louisa.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Louisa

Christopher (Benjamin nice too)

[SerenityReynolds]

Christopher is my favourite of your boys and Louisa for your girls. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the others, except I come across them more often!

[Woodenheart101]

George and Georgia are the nicest by far.
I do like Christopher with the nn Kit though.
Matilda is ok but very popular where I am.

[Kim82]

I like all of your boys names, my Ds is called Ben Christopher so they both get my vote. I do also like the name George too.

Girls names, I love Louisa but I'm not keen on the other three names.

[GothJoose]

Phoebe is one of my most favourite names.

I'd choose Christopher for a boy as it's not very common for little boys any more

[jaggythistlez]

Definitely Louisa.

And Christopher

(Benjamin close second)

[Allalonenow]

I like Benjamin and Christopher, and would use the full name on the BC though might use Ben or Kit as a nn.
I'm not at all keen on George, and less so now with the royal child, it will be the Charlie or Jack of 2014/15

I like Louisa very much, pretty for a little girl and lovely for a woman.
Phoebe would be my second choice.
I think Georgia has had its peak of popularity and is declining now, and Matilda is still very popular, though both nice names I wouldn't use them.

[Sleeplessme]

Ah thank you ladies for your helpful comments, I really appreciate your thoughts

I'm pleased people seem to like Christopher as I was a bit worried it's old fashioned (old mannish!) but I've always associated it more with the lovely boy from the Winnie the Pooh books. I think Christopher is kind of my favourite although we'll probably end up waiting to see what this baby boy looks like when he's here. I had hoped to avoid it this time around but I do remember our DD was nameless for about 15 mins before choosing one or the other. Sometimes they just don't look like a certain name if that makes sense!

[CoffeeChocolateWine]

Benjamin for a boy. It's lovely in the full and the shortened version. Chirstopher is lovely too but I don't like Chris so much as a nn. I'm not a fan of George.

For a girl, I like Georgia best (weirdly as I've just said I don't like George!), closely followed by Matilda. Not keen on Louisa or Phoebe.

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Louisa for a girl, and I'm going against the general trend to say George for a boy.

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

No don't be put of by Christopher. It's gorgeous and s baby named Chris well that's just beyond adorable and very different now.

[Sleeplessme]

Thank you it's so nice to get feedback on names from you guys as I never discuss names IRL. Slightly superstitious but also the fear that someone will go 'are you serious, yuck what a horrible name!' Haha.
