i am fairly early on in pregnancy with dc2, but i can think of no names i like whatsoever.

dh has made umpteen suggestions, i either dislike them or they don't go with the middle & surname. i like to know in advance what i'm calling the baby, makes it seem more real to me.

so, suggestions for both genders please :)

i'm sick of him coming up with names he doesn't even like just in the vain hope i'll actually like it.

sorry, none of these are really striking me.

we have our girls name sorted,(which pretty much guarantee's this one's a boy Grin ) so it's just a boy's name we need.

i have trawled umpteen baby name sites, & i don't like anything .

millions of names in the world, there must be one out there i like.

we found out last week this baby is a girl.

however, my mum & mil have both put me off our chosen name of morvern.

we briefly considered violet, but then we were watching a telly prog & some woman was shouting "viiiiiii-luuuuuttttttt, viiiiiiiiiiii-oooooooooooooo-lluutttttttttt" in a really awful accent & put me off that too.

HELP PLEASE !!

Congratulations on your baby girl! I've only glanced through the older messages so I apologise if some of these are off the mark.

Personally, I think Violet is a lovely name and nearly every name you shout sounds whiny and awful.

Some suggestions (including a fair few flower names):
Anwen
Aster
Azalea
Ayla
Bronwen
Delphine or Delphina
Dahlia
Dinah
Flora
Garland
Georgia
Honora
Iris
Isadora
Isis
Jasmine or Jesamine
Louisa
Lucia
Madigan
Maren
Mirren
Olwen
Paloma
Seraphina or Serafina
Siena
Tanwen
Violetta

I think Mirren is prettier-sounding than Morven and might be a good choice for you.

Some Italian names - Adelina, Alessandra (which I adore), Amalia, Artemisia, Clelia, Cosima, Clementina, Elisabetta, Gemma, Guiliana, Lia, Lidia, Mariella, Susanna, Vittoria, Viviana

I meant Jessamine (or Jessamyn), sorry.

sorry, i don't like any of those Blush

or rather, it's not that i don't like them, i'm ambivalent towards them. i neither like nor dislike, & that's the problem with near enough every name i've had suggested.

i wish i could just hear a name, go "yes, that's THE ONE" & that'd be the end of it.
