Hi

I'm really struggling this time round to think of names I like! Well, there is one girls name I LOVE but DH not keen.

Can I share the list with you for feedback? It's really long but I developed this with the idea that there has to be one name on it that DH likes! There are actually a couple he's ok with, but they don't, I think, go with our MN Alice (DH's grandmother's name). Surname is one syllable.

Devon
Iris
Isis
Ramona
Frances
Eloise
Darcie
Scarlett
Aimee
Amber
Maeve
Florence
Agnes
Telma
Esmee
Romilly
Agatha
Innes
Elizabeth
Grace
Jasmine
Maya
Savannah
Indira

The struggle to come up with a boy's name is even worse but I won't bore you with that one - yet!

Eloise or Esmee, also prefer Esme - my all time favourite name, but both were vetoed by ex for dd.

SandStorm · 20/03/2011 18:23

Darcie or Elizabeth (although I would spell it Darcey).

Frances Alice - with nn of Fran or Frankie
Eloise Alice - very pretty
Florence Alice - lovely classic
Agnes Alice - always liked this name but not brave enough to use it
Esmee Alice - like but spelt Esme, the extra e on the end just looks wrong
Elizabeth Alice - lovely classic and Elizabeth has lots of lovely nn

Devon - I think this is a boys name
Telma - yuk

I love Iris, I considered this for DD2 but went with Nell in the end.

I also like Jasmine and Amber.

TysonNobdie86 · 20/03/2011 18:08

Jasmine
Maya
Aimee
Amber
In that order :)

I love Amber and would have used it but it clashes with our surname. Also like Elizabeth.

Indira is the name of our favourite curry house...

Ramona = Quimby, although that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Quite like Jasmine too.

Florence and Romilly for me or how about Eliza instead of Elizabeth as that seems more your taste?

theagedparent · 20/03/2011 17:13

I like Romilly and Agatha

Maya
