What names would you choose?

There are lots of names that my dh and I don't agree on. If you could use any name you wanted, what would it be?

Personally I'd be using Sally, which I have loved since I was a girl. I'd also use Elijah, but DH won't hear of it.

Rebecca and James Thomas

My totally off the wall one is Angharad (beloved in Welsh), but I'm sure it would just become Ann, this side of the boarder.

Although people manage FFion

Seraphina and Sebastian here too!

DD has my all time favourite girl name. I don't think I'd manage to get Seraphina past DP if we had another girl.

Summer or Penelope

CPtart · 04/10/2014 18:59

Adam (have one) and Natalie

Eminybob · 04/10/2014 18:59

Elijah and Elodie.

DP vetoed Elijah but DS is definitely not an Elijah anyway and very much is the name we did give him.
If we have a DD next time she will be Elodie.
