My dd is 13 and ds 10 and, as it turns out, have two of the most popular names you can imagine for children of their age! I don't know how we managed that because they were not particularly common names when they were born, but 5 years on and they were surrounded by children with the same names at school Confused.

Dh and I have incredibly common names too, I am sure top 5 for the years we were born.

Anyway, if I were to have a baby this month I think I would name a girl Zinnia or Susannah and a boy Jonathan.

Ingrid or Edgar.

Imogen for a girl, Finnian for a boy.

Or, if I have more twins, imogen and Harriet (hattie), or hattie and finnian, imogen and reuben, or finnian and Nathaniel(nate) .

Super common seeming name for dd, and one of the twins currently...

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 15/01/2014 23:20

Cecilia for a girl, Ivan for boy.

Viviennemary · 15/01/2014 23:18

Violet for a girl. Not sure about a boys name. Something Italian sounding perhaps.

ExcuseTypos · 15/01/2014 23:18

Eliza and Edward(Ted).

My 2 DDs have very traditional names also.

Biscuitsneeded · 15/01/2014 23:13

Sally or Sylvia for a girl. Have used up all the boys' names I like already!

OvO · 15/01/2014 22:56

Eilidh for a girl.

Rhuaridh for a boy.

Spot the Scot. Grin

Joe & Stella

I like Alice today. I am fighting a losing battle to persuade DP into one more throw of the dice.

Bound to be a another boy though and I like Rory.

Margaret. I forgot Margaret.

Margot is lovely, as is Cecily, VworpVworp.

sydenhamhiller · 15/01/2014 22:51

Ooooh! Great game. 3 children down, almost used up all our names. Alexander (DH wants 'Ultimo') for a boy, and still quite like Penelope (was vetoed for DD2)...

TheWanderingUterus · 15/01/2014 22:50

Damaris

Reuben

Dd has a very popular name as DH is very much a traditionalist, DS a less popular one as I got my way. I like to think I would have won outright with the third.

DramaAlpaca · 15/01/2014 22:50

Emma for a girl.

Boy's name is harder because we have three boys so have used our favourite names. I've always liked Daniel - it would go well with our other boys' names, but it's not great with our surname.

OliveHeartfly · 15/01/2014 22:49

Benedict and Martha

Shesparkles · 15/01/2014 22:49

Darcy and Alexander, to be known as Xander

Oooh, I want a Willow too, but such a burden if she turned out not to be ... willow-y...
And a Tamar.
And a Ross.
And a Joseph.

Sigh at being 42 with three kids already...

Francesca if it was a girl
Raife for a boy. My grandad was Ralph pronounced raife. Ralph always reminds me of the Judy Blume book, forever :-/

Pleasenomorepeppa · 15/01/2014 22:46

Elsie and Ned.
