DH an i are sitting down tonight and hopefully going to go through a list of names and choose 1 for each sex. Thing is i dont really have a list as havnt got a clue.

We dont know the sex so need to choose both boy and girl names. Already have 1 DS who is 2.10 called Henley Ethan.

I kind of like the following:

Girl
Harlow Eve
Evie Mai

Boy
Alfie
Devon

Thats it! DH likes more traditional names like William. I just know that were going to end up argueing over this.

Please help. All suggestions welcome Smile

Was a bit Missnatalie, sorry about that.

As for Harlow, it might be a popular American name but everyone in the UK will ask you, then her when she is older, if that is where she was conceived, ditto Devon. Think Brooklyn Beckham.

Have to agree with your DH on the traditional side I'm afraid.

As for Chigwell, a name doesn't have to appear in a book or a list to be a name, you can call your child whatever you want. All names were made up once.

Ohh ill have a look now. thanks violet5

HelenaRose the essex connection was one of the things that was putting me off Harlow. But forgetting about that i really like it. Apparently its a popular American name but is officially a English boys name. Means meadow or sommat like that.

Im starting to wish that we would have found out the sex now. Would have made things so much easier Xmas Hmm

Chigwell Mai?

Hi, congratulations, my baby is due in 11 days (and we stil haven't fully decided on his name, although we at least have a shortlist now).
If you've no idea i'd suggest giving this site a go www.nymbler.com/. If you put your sons name in it should bring up some other similar names you might like, for girls and boys. I've had a go on there and it was quite good Xmas Smile

Please don't name your child after a grim town in Essex.
