We haven't even really spoken properly about names yet. I'm Due on the 5th but both of my kids came earlier and I'm already showing signs so I think this one will come earlier too. We don't know the gender, and we have a 12 year old son Colin (who passed away in sept.) and a 5 year old girl, Ava.

As we haven't come up with any I will give some names we talked about during our last 2 searches to give some ideas:

For girls:
Lucy or Lily
Erin
Ruby

And boys: (middle will be Colin)
James
Henry
Owen
Max

We don't really like any of these that much anymore. We want something that's less popular... I do still like Erin but DH isn't sure about it so it's off too. Ava is the only Ava in her class but there's a few others in her school and I want something less popular this time. Colin was perfect for us when he was born as it was familiar but still not overly common..

Anyone have any name ideas? For a sibling of Colin & Ava?

Thank you in advance, any help you can offer means a lot.

Thank you both. I do really love Erin. I might bring it back up to my DH.

I like Fiona, Simon, Owen & Laurel. I like Arthur too but I think Ava & Arthur are a little too close

Fwiw, I really like Owen. It ranked 85th last year, so it's not exactly unusual but no where near as popular as Ava.
