Anna & Rory are my favourites.

The others are all nice as well Smile

CarriMarie · 01/07/2014 22:38

Harriet or Sebastian.

rootypig · 01/07/2014 22:38

Anna or Flora
William or Edward

Hoolit · 01/07/2014 22:38

All nice but Anna and Rory are my favourites

ataposaurus · 01/07/2014 22:39

For girls, Hannah or Anna are both lovely - slightly prefer Hannah.
Flora is quite nice but I'm not sure I can get past the margarine reference, also had a pet called Flora so that is probably a personal thing.
Really don't like Harriet, just don't find it a pretty name.

Boys are all ok, William and Edward are done to death around here, so a bit meh. Sebastian I don't actively dislike, but don't like Seb nickname much, so I would probably go for Rory.

In summary Hannah and Rory! But don't think you can go wrong with any of them really.

Harriet or William

ataposaurus · 01/07/2014 22:40

sorry, didn't fully read post, sorry for saying I don't like Harriet! (of course noone is going to like every name though - nothing wrong with it.)

mummybare · 01/07/2014 22:41

Anna and Edward for me.

And congratulations :)

Bowlersarm · 01/07/2014 22:41

Flora - perfect

William - (nn Will) - perfect !

LionsTeeth · 01/07/2014 22:42

Harriet and Sebastian Smile

BlueStarsAtNight · 01/07/2014 22:42

Ooh that's tough, I love all your girls names except Anna, and all your boys names! At a push I think I'd pick Harriet and Sebastian. If I can pick middle names too I'd have Harriet Flora and Sebastian Edward.

What's your surname like? The flow of a name is very important to me.

No, don't worry, I was just hoping to avoid "I hate them all. Why not call your child Tamzinpoopdiane?" Grin

Anna, or even hannah, would be named in a way after my mother, who was Anita. Her mother was anne. I've loved Harriet and flora since I was little, though. I love flowers so flora nods to that :) I don't think of margarine!

Rose is the middle name for a girl, as my parents had a rose garden they loved.

If this baby is a boy his middle name will be Martin, after my late dad.

I'm really pleased so many of you like Rory! I was worried it was a bit 'old'. I think I'll go for that; I do like Sebastian though.

I'm still undecided on a girl!

Anna and Rory
(I actually know siblings called these names)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/07/2014 22:48

Harriet and Edward

Rhubarbgarden · 01/07/2014 23:15

Flora and Sebastian. I like all your girls' names though. Not keen on Rory.

Nereida · 01/07/2014 23:33

Hannah and William.

Clearlymisunderstood · 01/07/2014 23:38

Harriet and Edward
I love the name flora too and considered it for dd2 but I always came back to thinking about the butter

Poussay · 02/07/2014 00:05

I really like all of them.

Edward for a boy.

For a girl I was going to say flora but with rose as middle name it might be too flowery and R repetitious, so I would plump for Harriet.
