Hi all, only 8 weeks pregnant so have got ages to decide but excited about names. Have had a shortlist for a while. Obviously don't know if baby will be a boy or a girl so thoughts on these please and other suggestions?

Abigail Rose (nn Abi)
Lily Evelyn
Iris Amelia

Benjamin Miles
James Edward

Thanks in advance! Smile

I like Lily Evelyn but would reverse it.

And Edward James. Sorry if I'm no help but Eddie is my favourite name and I love the Evelyn for a girl. Smile

Lily, but not with Evelyn
Or Amelia Rose stand out for me.

James is nice either as first or middle name but Miles is awful.

We are probably leaning towards Lily or Abigail for a girl and Benjamin for a boy, but struggling with middle names. I love Miles but hubby is not so keen. Also love Evelyn for a girl but have a niece called Evie, hence, thinking about it as a middle name rather than first name. Trying to find a good combo is difficult!

I like Evelyn Rose and either, James Benjamin, or Benjamin James.
Rosanna Lily, maybe.

Iris. Classy and underused.

Iris is a lovely name.

Lily is in but very overused. Abigail is ok.

please no more Lily's

Abigail is nice, there are a lot of Abigails/ Abi's

Iris is pretty but is quite well used too.

all boys names are good, I really like Miles most of all of them though. It's far better than faddy Milo.

Iris. Lily is just too overdone.
