Hi everyone
I've got one week left and still undecided on boys names -please help!
We have two boys already ds1 has surname name (which I know is not particularly popular on here) ds2 has old testament name which mumsnetters seem to love.
Anyway this is our list please let us know which you like best, surname is one syllable beginning with F and middle name will be Peter
Riley
Mitchell
Levi
Ashton
Leon
Dylan

If it's a girl it will be Francesca or lola

Dylan and Francesca

Spookberries · 18/10/2010 13:32

Lola & Levi would be my choices.

MackerelOfFact · 18/10/2010 11:58

Leon is my fave of your boys names. But I quite like Dylan too, and think it goes better with Peter.

Dylan

Francesca Smile

Not keen on your other choices

Love Frankie as a nn - very cute!

Ooosha · 17/10/2010 11:42

Leon or Francesca.

Francesca is lovely. Lots of great nn potential frankie, chess, cessi, great choice.

YouNeverCanTell · 17/10/2010 11:37

Can you live with Franny? I had a lovely friend who was supposed to be Francesca but was Fran or Franny to her friends, always. I like Francesca (and the shortened versions) best.

Lola was a showgirl? I'm afraid I do hum that whenever I think of a Lola. But it could be just my age ?

Dylan for the boy's name. But I'd also give my vote to Peter as first name. (We would have gone for this, but it's DH's name.)

Sunlightdances · 17/10/2010 11:29

Riley - love it
Levi - as in the jeans?
Leon - have known two, both lovely
Dylan - lovely

Francesca.

Secretwishescometrue · 16/10/2010 16:32

Very much like Dylan and Riley and I love Lola for your girl very sweet name, congrats and best of luck

NiceCuppaT · 16/10/2010 16:18

Dylan
like both your girls names

BelligerentGhoul · 16/10/2010 13:30

I like Dylan and Leon. Don't like any of the other boys' names at all, sorry.

Francesca much nicer than Lola.

PutTheKettleOn · 16/10/2010 13:26

I love Peter, why not use that as first name? Out of the others, Dylan and Leon.

SpiderWilliam · 16/10/2010 11:53

I like Ashton most, but have you thought about Asher? It is both surnamey and also a solid Old Testament name (one of the tribes of Israel, although I am v sketchy on the Bible, so could be wrong). Therefore it nicely links up the two names of your older boys.

Definitely Francesca for me.

ducknipples · 16/10/2010 09:21

oh, i love leon Grin

Gemjar · 16/10/2010 09:11

Quite like all the boys names apart from Levi, Leon and Riley are probably favourites. I would be careful with Mitchell, as a full name it will sound good, particularly with a short surname, but you will also have to like Mitch, which he will inevitably get called by someone.

Love both Francesca and Lola though - why are girls so much easier to pick names for?

Ineedsomesleep · 16/10/2010 09:01

Prefer Francesca to Lola by a mile.

Out of your boys names Levi and Leon are ok and I don't like any of the others.

SaorAlba · 16/10/2010 08:48

I like either girls name and Mitchell is my favourite of your boy names.

kiwijesta · 16/10/2010 08:34

I like Mitchell, and I think a longer name balances out a short last name, good luck!

FullaDoll · 16/10/2010 07:53

Then I vote for 'Lola'! Actually, it's on my list also. I think it is a very cool name.
