Baby is due in 10 weeks so plenty of time to change my (indecisive) mind but our current shortlists are...

Eva - love this but is it too common?
Nancy - too common?
Roxy - cool or stripper like?!
Jeannie - oh not keen but I could work on him
middle name will be Rae

Sonny - does this work as an adult name?
Leo
Austin - would he get called Aussy?!
Middle name would be Patrick

Unleash your thoughts MN'ers....!!!

Roxy and Leo

I'd say Nancy, but not sure about Nancy Rae as makes me think Nancy Regan. I like Roxy as a nn but not as a full name, and Jeannie is ok but again sounds like a nn to me. Eva is definitely very common so wouldn't have that.

For boys, I like Leo but think Austin sounds better with Patrick. Really dislike Sonny.

I love Nancy but have heard of a few being born lately. It was originally short for Anne or Anna I think how about that? Jeannie is lovely I love Jean too (and Gene for a boy!) Austin and Leo are good, really don't like Sonny, doesn't sound like a real name to me sorry!

Love sonny and nancy. I have only met one of each. Also like Leo but it is quite popular here (SE).

Jeannie definitely, especially as you seem to be worried about using a name that is too common.
Quite like Austin. I dont think boys get y nicknames as much, he's more likely to be Aus which I think is quite cool.
