Hello all,
I would really appreciate some thoughts before I take my short-list, cap in hand, to DH. If I can get some support for names on there, they are less likely to meet with instant dh veto!
This is dc3 - we have a dd with a v "normal" name (which was much more unusual a decade ago when she was born!), and a ds with a v unusual one.
Boys:
Joseph
Gregory
Rufus
Francis (I have gone off this quite a lot since the new Pope chose it!)
Girls:
Tess
Greta
Faith
Vita
Clarissa
DH likes Frances, but I have the Pope issue again. Also there is the fact that I am a Southerner living in the Midlands, so I say Frances with a long a, whereas dh, my other kids, and virtually everyone else I know says it with a short a. I think that this would irritate me. It doesn't bother me as much for a boy, as he would be Frankie, at least to us, but a girl would remain Frances, so it would be more of a problem.
Other suggestions welcome, although nothing beginning with A or M please :)
