Hi, I have just found out I'm pregnant and am so excited. I've always loved names and can't wait to name my child. I've been thinking of names for ages. I feel like I've gone through so many names and nothing feels 100% perfect. Although, I realise I may have to wait until the baby is born.

I'd love some advice and some suggestions based on these names.

Girls (middle name will be Rose as it's a family name) -
Top choices:
Charlotte (Lottie) (most popular name in NZ)
Georgia (Georgie, Gigi)
Harriet, Harri, Hattie, Ettie)

Others I like alright:
Sadie
Juniper
Juno
Keira
Genevieve

Boys (middle name either one of these or Joseph after my brother or Wells after someone close to me) -
Top choices:
Theodore (Theo/Teddy)
Wilfred (I think this would be considered weird in NZ but I love it) (Wilf/Freddie)
Henry
August
Lachlan

Others I like:
Oliver (super popular here)
Elliot
Maxwell
Laurence
Jethro
Alexander
Arlo

I love Harriet Rose. Georgia is also nice, I’m not keen on Charlotte.
I don’t like your “don’t mind” names

Absolutely love Joseph. Joseph Wells Surname could work? I’m not a huge fan of the boys names, sorry.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!! X

@Checkingout811 Joseph is my brother's name so can't use that as a first! Thanks for your message. Any suggestions for boys then?

I wouldn’t go for a really popular name. I like Harriet and Genevieve best from your girls list, and Elliot, Maxwell and Theo from the boys.

Cassie
Margo
Darcy
Lydia
Phoebe
Madeleine

Tobias

I love Keira but I'm not feeling in with Rose. Too many r sounds.
Never been a fan of Charlotte but I can see its beauty and elegance.
Charlotte Rose just rolls off the tongue.
Georgia Rose is gorgeous.
Harriet is one of those names I blow hot and cold on. I'm quite likeing it at the moments. Again those Harriet with Rose is too r heavy.
I don't like any other names from your girl names. I have irrational hatered for Sadie. Although Sadie paired with Rose is,very pretty

I love
Alexander Joseph Wells
Elliot Joseph Wells
Lachlan Joseph Wells
Theodore Joseph Wells
August has a nice sound to it. Although I think the month would have to be significant to you.

Other Names you might like.
Boys
Arthur Joseph Wells
Peter Joseph Wells
Christopher Joseph Wells.
Michael Joseph Wells
Daniel Joseph Wells
Aaron Joseph Wells
Matthew Joseph Wells
Antony Joseph Wells
Luke Joseph Wells
Bobby Joseph Wells
