Hey, a little about me, I'm 21 years old, engaged to my lovely 30 year old fiancé, we have our first baby due on 18th October 2011.
We decided to keep the sex of the baby a surprise, being my first child :)

So, the names are....

Boys
Zack Thomas Halliwell
Alfie James Halliwell
Ethan Jack Halliwell

Girls
Summer Lily-Rose Halliwell
Maisy May Halliwell
Ava Rose Halliwell

Please let me know what you think :)

Thank you xxxxx

P.s Also looking to meet new mums in the Wigan area... xxxx

Hi - Congratulations. From your list I would go for Ava Rose (although personally I would have a different mn) for a girl. Not overly keen on the boys names but would go for Zachary nn Zack out of the three. Prefer Thomas and James tbh. Also echo scarlettlips comments about giving away too much information.

Congratulations! I like Ethan Jack and Ava Rose.

mathanxiety · 16/08/2011 18:50

Zachary or Isaac, and Ava.

I think Zack is a nickname.

KikiRC · 16/08/2011 18:45

Ethan and Ava. I do know a lot of little girls called Ava, though. I think Summer is quite a nice name, but it seems to pop up loads in soaps which has always put me off a bit.

mayanna123 · 16/08/2011 18:38

But as others have said, you will never find a name that everyone loves - and it would indeed be dull if we all chose the same names Smile.

mayanna123 · 16/08/2011 18:37

Congratulations of your pregnancy. I don't like any of your boys names, especially Zack (sounds harsh and unfinished to me). Of your girls suggestions I quite like Summer, but find Maisy too cutesy and Ava a little overused.

MsChanandlerBong · 16/08/2011 18:34

On your boys names I like Zack the best - but I too would put Zachary on the birth certificate and then shorten it to Zac/Zack. (Zachary was our first choice boys name but we are expecting a girl!)

With the girls names, I quite like Maisy May but I think I might be in the minority as most people don't seem to like alliteration. And I think Summer sounds nice with Rose (ie without the Lily, as with a hyphenated middle name it becomes a bit fussy).

Hope this helps Smile

Congratulations nikki on your baby, very exciting.

I like all your boys names..for the girls not really keen on Summer or Maisy (nothing wrong with them, just not my taste) Ava is very pretty.

Sorry going to do my 'Mum' bit here..Blush
This might not be an issues for you..but you have given away quite a lot of personal info on this thread...name, location and baby surname etc etc...just be careful you don't want to be could 'outed' on future post....Hmm Just thought I'd mention that.

Good luck will picking a name...it's tough!! Grin

p.s don't listen to the haters xxx

tammytoby · 16/08/2011 18:20

Congratulations Smile.

Personally I really dislike your name choices (especially Alfie and Zack as well as Maisy and Ava) but we thankfully have different tastes and you might not like my choices either. But that's ok and makes the world much more interesting Smile.

minipie · 16/08/2011 18:16

I like Zack or Zac and Ethan. Alfie is sweet but so popular at the moment.

Summer Lily-Rose and Maisy May are waaay too cutesy. Ava Rose is the best. I like Summer as a first name but think you need a non-nature name with it.

Crosshair · 16/08/2011 18:03

Ethan and Ava, I'm not a fan of middle names.

Congratulations :)

CurwySwide · 16/08/2011 17:54

Hi - congratulations on the baby!

I like both Zack (though prefer Zachary shortened to Zac) and Ethan, but really do not like Alfie, sorry.

Summer is pretty, don't like Maisy/Maisie, but think Ava is the best of the three by quite a long way.

mohara · 16/08/2011 17:42

Sorry-congratulations ON the baby......Blush

mohara · 16/08/2011 17:40

Welcome OP and congratulations in the baby!!

Unfortunately some posters on here aren't quite as welcoming, as you can see Hmm

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 16/08/2011 17:35

Please not another Alfie.

RunnerHasbeen · 16/08/2011 17:32

Congratulations on the baby, I'd choose Ethan or Ava from your list. I would avoid the hyphenated middle name Lily-Rose and just have two middle names if you wanted to go with that one. Maisy May sounds a little bit like a nursery rhyme, a bit cute for an adult.

Good luck on meeting new mums, have you seen that there is a local section on MN (I'm not in Wigan).

morethanyoubargainfor · 16/08/2011 17:31

personally i don't think i would pick any of them TBH but if i had to i would go for Ava rose and Ethan.

fuckityfuckfuckfuck · 16/08/2011 17:24

All the girls names are pretty dire tbh.
