We have a DS called Charlie. I didn't even love that name, it was more of a "yeah its ok, don't know what else to call him" but he really suits it.
Don't know what I'm having this time yet but there are hardly any names I like!

Boys -
Max. But I was bullied by a Max so not sure..
That's the only boys name I sort of like! Help.

Girls -
Robyn
Rhiannon (DP doesn't like)

Mia, Grace, Millie, Chloe, Georgia are all names I like but they're so popular. Plus they will have the most boring surname on the planet so I don't really want a repeat of Charlie! DP doesn't suggest names just pulls faces at mine.. grr!

Thank you Flowers

Luke and James are nice and I loved Louis but I said it too many times and it started to sound made up! Felt like I was going mad Grin

I LOVE Seren, but DP just doesn't get it. He's very annoying. Maisie is lovely but I can't see a adult Maisie, in my head she's a lovely cheeky 2 year old

Luke
Eric/Erik
James
Hamish
Harrison
Hans

I wouldn't use max if you were bullied by a max.

One (slightly obsessive) friend googled the names of successful lawyers bankers and other professionals and chose a name that way.

We really struggled with boys names too. How about something used for girls and boys such as Rowan?

PamShoo · 04/10/2014 19:55

If you like Max, use Max! It may have the connotations of a bully right now but when your baby arrives, you'll only associate the name with your gorgeous baby, not a bully :)

Other names;

Luke
Harrison
James
Lawrie
Louis

Sofia
Mali (Welsh for Molly)
Bella
Maisie
Alina

I also have a Charlie (well, a Charles, but he's always Charlie).

I found boys names really hard too - there are hardly any I like - but as I also like Max I'll assume we have similar taste and suggest my other boy options (ended up having DTDs so didn't use them):

Andrew (though clearly couldn't have had Charles and Andrew or would have looked like a bonkers royal stalker)
Nicholas
Richard
Miles

Names I think are along the same lines as your girls' names:

Siobhan
Seren
Rowan

Of any help..?

Joseph
Rex
Luke

Georgina (not as common as Georgia)
Pia (not Mia)
Gemma
