@silverliningclouds


Love them especially Oscar for a boy might have to swap out chase for Oscar , didn't even think of that name and I love it !

Your girls names are so so pretty ❤️

[silverliningclouds]

@Superstar41 thank you. We've always wanted an Adelaide if we had a girl and would shorten it to Addie.
We wanted Oscar the whole way along last time but changed our minds last min!

[Superstar41]

@silverliningclouds I love Addie !

What did you choose instead of Oscar ? :):)

[Milkshake54]

I love this thread! I don’t have 5 for each though sadly!

Harriet
Matilda
Lily

Harvey
Max
Oliver / Oscar are ones I love but OH doesn’t agree.

We struggle more on boys names than girls, although we don’t love love either of the above... so happily looking for inspo

[Superstar41]

@queenmother I love love love xanthe, my friends little girl is called xanthe and she's the cutest little dot !!

[buckingmad]

@Superstar41 I hate it when someone ruins a name for you! Savannah is lovely!

I’ve always like James but my OH is called James and I am not having a Junior!! One of him is bad enough 😂

[BabyDust13]

@Superstar41 my OH is a massive marvel fan we have a hamster called Domino for that very reason I quite like Loki but he's not sold

[Superstar41]

@buckingmad I know I'm going to have to convince him ;) James is a lovely name !! Haha James Jr doesn't sound too bad ;)

@BabyDust13 he wants to call a baby boy Thor I had to put my foot down 🤣 Loki isn't too bad tho not a fan of the character ;)

This is a really lovely thread. I do love thinking about baby names.

Girls:
Elisa
Clara
Thora
Alice
Grace

Boys:
Angus
Hamish
Atli
Emil
Amos

My partner is Icelandic so Atli and Emil are Icelandic names. Thor is also a traditional Icelandic name and he loves it but I told him people will just connect it with the movie. However, I like Thora and it’s the female version of Thor.
