We are really stuggling to come up with a name for DC4 due soon so for inspiration could people post their top ten names at the moment? Thanks!

Agree Hulabula!

Some great names here. Giving me inspiration if I ever have a second DS.

scotagm · 20/09/2011 22:28

Keep seeing Seth on the boys list. This was my absolute favourite name throughout pregnancy. DP talked me out of it - now seeing it on so many peoples lists I am wistful. A great name.

It's ok, ellesbabe Smile.

Some lovely names on here - great source of inspiration. Let's all be a little braver and use some of these lovely, underused names!

Oh sorry hulabula! I didn't realise you were quoting someone else.

tammytoby · 20/09/2011 18:40

Quite a few people have said Ivy, which is one of my real favourites. is it really quite popular now? I don't remember it featuring on recent top 100 lists- wondered if it's suddenly gained in popularity this year?

Stormwater · 20/09/2011 12:53

X-post Tammytoby!

Stormwater · 20/09/2011 12:52

Why would anyone ignore Hulabula any more than anyone else? Do you mean Readinginbed, who Hula responded to?

tammytoby · 20/09/2011 12:50

ellesbabe, it is 'readinginbed's post that ought to be ignored, I think hulabula's just pointing out how odd that post is.

Anyway, here are my favourites
Sophia
Antonia
Charlotte
Helena

Tobias (Toby)
Quentin (Quinn)
Sebastian
Dominic
