Hello all- so I am a childminder, but have looked after children up and down the country for the last 8 years, so you can imagine the amount of names I have heard, but can I decide on one for my own DC1- no!!

I like (but not love);
Teddy
Henry
Harry
William
Oscar
Arthur
Noah

My OH likes;
Wilfred
Albert
Patrick
Alfred
Henry (a little)
Michael (my late fathers name- but I'm not a fan)

We can't seem to agree at all!
My job doesn't seem to help matters as I have been put off a lot of names!
My OH has a really popular name, and he hates it, whereas I have a fairly uncommon name so I don't quite understand the desire to have something so different!

Has anyone got any genius ideas?
Thanks in advance x

What's your girls name?

Love Toby- wouldn't have tobias as it's a character from American TV show, arrested development (very funny!!)

Not a fan of the others, I look after two children with those names already!!

It will be much easier if DC1 turns out to be a girl!!

Kit is a lovely name. We considered it seriously but I wanted a fuller name on the birth certificate and I didn't want Christopher.

Few more suggestions:
Toby/Tobias
Archie
Leo
Lucas
Luke
Gabriel
Asa

I do like Theodore and Bertie! And Rory- but OH has just pulled a right face!

Not a fan of Stanley, and can't have Oliver, although I do like that!

Just seen Kit on another thread- that has been bumped to the top of the list! Woohoo a name we both agree on!!
