These are the two names I'm thinking of:

Freya Anne for a girl (Anne after my late aunt)

and

Caden for a boy - not sure how to spell it yet though (Kayden, Caiden....).

Not sure of a middle name to go with it though.

any thoughts?

Anyone know a Caden?

I love Freya it is a very pretty name. I don't like Caden at all, it is very now and will definitely date.

hmmm......I'm pretty sure it will be a boy and I like Jack but already have a Jacob so too similar.

I like Callum, Cameron, Harrison...DH doesn't like any of them!

HELP!!!

Not Caden, and absolutely definitely not Kayden.

Freya is nice.

What about Joshua if you like Jacob?

lol different witch - no, I'm not one to talk like that!

I love Ethan but we already have one in the family.

DH and I also have a Joseph and a Daniel, so old fashioned bible type names are good.

I have mentioned Elijah and Reuben but DH says he doesn't like those either!

Joseph, Daniel, Jack and Charlie

Joseph, DAniel, Jack and Matthew

etc



Do it like that, you will see how the names flow

Caden really doesn't go well with those 3 names imo

What about Isaac? that's much less likely to have negative connotations. Plus it has a nice meaning- laughter.

yeah I've mentioned that to DH too and he's not keen - saying that, he didn't like Jacob either but now he's 4 it's kind of grown on him, lol

I have definitely gone off Caden now!

oh yes, Christopher is a great name. Tiff is a fab shortening (IMO) rather than Chris

Christopher is XH, lol, don't think that would go now well!

If you like Caden, how about Caleb? Similar ring to it but more established.

I love Ethan, really love it. Does it matter if there's already one in the family?

LOL, avoid Christopher then

I sniggered inappropriately at a pig on TV called Rachel last night - DH's ex's name. He just rolled his eyes at me!!
