thank u for taking time to answer-

iam not keen on the whole only if u put this on the birth cert
i dont like the name joseph so it, as all of the names would be as written as of course they r still names in own right not just a shorterned version off etc.

yes amba is a name, u may prefer other version of the spelling, my best friend is amba (shes 30) and i always thought it was a pretty spelling.

anna is standing out to me at the moment, altho my dp has said its a little dull! but i agree its classic rather than boring.

its so hard isnt it!!

Joe - Is nice, but only with Joseph as a full name
Jude - Dislike
Zachary - I have an irrational dislike of
Jack - Very dull

Anna - Nice, classic
Daisy - Like
Lydia - Is okay
Rose - Boring
Amba - Is not a name. If you're going to use it, spell it correctly. The correct spelling, quite nice.
Freya - Like
Lily - Really dislike.

out of your list i like freya and anna and joe and jude

thetraveller · 09/09/2010 11:27

joe- like it, but with Joseph as the birth cert name
jude - OK think this will date and not fussed on the Jude Law association
zachary - like, and also like the shortening of Zac
jack - OK but a bit boring for me

anna - lovely, classic, go -anywhere name
daisy - fine for an under-5 but a bit cutesy for a grown women
lydia - quite like this
rose - nice enough, but not wild about it
amba - no
freya - OK
lily - nice

We have a Joe - so that gets my vote. I really like Anna fom your girls list.

beccagrace2 · 09/09/2010 08:25

i love Joe, Jude is nice, not keen on zachary and Jack is terrible. How about Jonathan or Jago as other J names.

Daisy, Lily, Amber, Freya, Lydia....NO

Anna is beautiful, as is Rose but Anna my fav from your list, classic, Annie nn for a little girl and Anna is a strong/pretty, balanced name for a woman. Daisy/Lily are not names for women imo. I like Jane too.

I don't like any of these, I don't dislike them but none would conjure a 'what a lovely name' from me!! Actually I dislike Lydia, Amba and loathe Freya.

nickschic · 09/09/2010 08:13

I like all of those but Grin pleeeeease spel Amber like that its much prettier.....I am planning no more babies Sad but id have Esme for a girl and Christy or Jamie for a boy.

Not sure about Amba but the rest are all nice.
