I'm not PG, just wondering. I'd love a dd called Elinor.

4 of my DC names mentioned so far.

For next DC would like
Meredith, Miranda or Philippa for a girl (dh would like Ailsa or Hettie)
Alasdair, Peter or Leonard for a boy (dh likes Vincent)

inmyheadimthequeen · 14/11/2012 22:52

Carrie for a girl, Bruce or Andrew for a boy. I'm done though.....

thegreylady · 14/11/2012 22:44

Indith · 14/11/2012 21:43

Miriam Alice for a girl. No idea for a boy. We are not having any more though.

cece · 14/11/2012 21:34

Girls would be; Anna, Verity, Thea and Helena

Boys would be; Victor and Gregory

MoelFammau · 14/11/2012 21:31

Yeah... My midwife was a Dutch lady called Rixt and I loved it as soon as I heard it. So yep. The kid would be half Germanic so it wouldn't be too weird!

dementedma · 14/11/2012 21:30

Rixt?

MoelFammau · 14/11/2012 21:26

Not having another!

But....

Jan for a boy and Rixt for a girl.

FrostyTheShosheman · 14/11/2012 21:13

Maggie for a girl and Xander for a boy, but considering my DGD is 17 dont think its going to happen Grin

AnathemaDevice · 14/11/2012 21:03

Currently pregnant with DC3. We're going with Rory Michael for a boy, and Ruth Veronica for a girl. (Though if I didn't have to let DH have a say I'd go for Violet over Ruth)

Fayrazzled · 14/11/2012 20:58

Louisa or Catherine for a girl and Benjamin for a boy.

Not remotely "out there" or "different" but I love them.

dementedma · 14/11/2012 20:43

Laurence, Simon or Benedict for a boy.
For girls Anna, Martha or Ruby

survivingautumn · 14/11/2012 20:32

If there was a next time around I would go for Orin, Hughie or Theo for a boy and Claudia, Elizabeth or Clara for a girl.

MamaGeekChic - my DC are called one of each of your boys and girls names Grin

gufflings · 14/11/2012 17:01

Love Honor, Greta or Lillian.

No boys' names. That's my current problem...

Lulabellarama · 14/11/2012 16:35

Sebastian for a boy
Talia for a girl

hurricanewyn · 14/11/2012 16:33

Oisin for a boy & Abigail for a girl - never having anymore though.

missingmymarbles · 14/11/2012 16:28

Maia Grace
Finley or Elisha Ashton (I know what people say about Ashton, but it's DH's middle name, and he was that before it was popular/chavvyWink)

TessOfTheBaublevilles · 14/11/2012 15:37

Mary Christabel
Samuel Valentine

Both middle names are family names on DH's side.

fuzzpig · 14/11/2012 15:34

Boy - Sheldon Nikolai
(big bang theory Blush and DH's favourite scientist, Nikolai Tesla)

Girl - Lyra Melody
(his dark materials, my middle name)

I already have a boy and a girl and staggeringly unlikely to have more.

soaccidentprone · 14/11/2012 15:32

Alice Elsa

MamaGeekChic · 14/11/2012 15:29

Elena Iris, Anya Iris or Lois Caroline for a girl

Patrick Nicholas, Laurence Nicholas or Joseph Nicholas for a boy.

Gwennan · 14/11/2012 15:22

Serena, Matilda, Martha, Honor or possibly Emmeline

Henry, Leo, Dominic or Arthur

Let's say: Serena Violet & Henry Dominic

CzarChasm · 13/11/2012 03:43

Louisa Kate for a girl or Elijah Samuel for a boy

FriggFRIGG · 13/11/2012 00:28

sonniboo · 12/11/2012 22:09
