Found out I'm expecting 1 and a half weeks ago, we are all so excited! I already have 2 DDs, Lyra and Renn who absolutely insist the baby is called Elsa (wonder where THAT came from) On the realistic side of things, DH and I still had a shortlist from last DD Renn and and with a bit of editing we have another. Tell me what you think, how do they fit with Renn and Lyra?

Girls:
Gabriella- It seems a bit too girly but I do like it
Crescent- Hadn't heard of this one before, but I really like it!
Eleanor- Quite like it, still...
Winter- Pretty good!
Emily- Perhaps too common but with a lot of charm!
Erin- I really like this one- like really
... And Elsa? I won't admit it to DDs, but I do actually like this name although am hesitating to put it on the list cuz of Frozen... I like strong girl names, which have all different channels of interpretation in them.

Boys:
Bear- LOVE this one sooooo much
Torak- Equal with Bear
Hawk- Yesssss
Eric- This one is lovely!
Needs more adding to it tho... I like really natural inspired uncommon boys names (but not totally weird) with character!

XD going to stay up all night and wait, so excited!!!

Last September (1/9/2014) your name was Elsa not Kelly. Was that your husband messing about as well?

RedToothBrush · 12/06/2015 20:35

There is no such thing as a gender scan in the UK. My letter said specifically that the scan at 20 weeks was not to find the gender but to see if there were any problems but there may be the opportunity to see the gender but this was not the purpose of the scan.

PurpleDaisies · 12/06/2015 20:24

Also, doctor wants me for gender scan, so I guess I'm just going to go along...

Are you saying that your doctor is asking you to go for a gender scan? That's a bit unusual. Do you think you might have got confused about what the purpose of the scan is?

Quinoa- ??? Confusion. My name is Kelly, daughters names are Lyra and Renn. DH sometimes goes on account for laughs, might have messed around- will talk to him about this- as you're right. Also, doctor wants me for gender scan, so I guess I'm just going to go along...

QuinoaLenghi · 11/06/2015 22:05

Falcon, even if you were 9 weeks pregnant you couldn't have a gender scan.

But I just did a search in your posts and I think something is wrong. I have found posts where you say your name is Elsa, post where you say your DDs are Lyra and Bonnie, posts where your sister is Renn.

Why lie? If you want to discuss names that is great, just start a thread about names but don't make up facts and change them between threads.

Tired- Thanks for lovely suggestion- we've decided on one girls name Elsa but if it's twins like it might be, I'll talk with DH about it later. Elias isn't my favourite of names but DH might like it.

2Boys2Girls- Heh, this is causing much confusion. I actually realised I was pregnant about 5 weeks ago, but waited to confirm it about 1 and a half weeks ago so as not to be caught out.

OP posts:
totiredtosleep · 11/06/2015 22:01

Elin for a girl or Elias for a boy

2boys2girls · 11/06/2015 21:56

Sorry I'm confused ? If you only found out pregnant 1.5weeks ago how can you getting a sexing scan in Saturday ?

Falconwolf101 · 11/06/2015 21:53

Thanks for more great ideas folks! Keep em coming...

Bell- Thanks for the suggestion, v. interesting! Unfortunately can't add as DH's mother is called Arabelle and he feels it is too similar. Men!

Dinosaur- Aww, thank you so much! Support for my crazy tastes!

Rachel- Not sure about Naomi and Sofia but Elsie is very much like Elsa- thank you very much anyway!

Pallas- Raven is a fantastic name but I think unless we have twin girlies she's going to be an Elsa. DH strongly wants Logan if ds (Wolverine, manly, etc.... Sigh) Anna is nice, but I don't like the English (A-na) much prefer frozen type (Aa-na) but since we have a weird un-intentional frozen theme going on and Elsa is number 1.

Busy- Very quaint and sweet, not for us but Renn's bf is Agnes and we know a little Enid!

MerryMarigold · 11/06/2015 21:44

Oooh, exciting OP. Maybe you will get to use two of these lovely choices of names! (I have b/ g twins! and I was VERY large).

getbusyliving · 11/06/2015 21:33

Enid and Agnes Wink

TheRachel · 11/06/2015 21:32

Or
Lyra, Renn and Anna

PallasCat · 11/06/2015 21:30

Eira is loooooovely.
Raven?

For boys...
Bryn
Byrne
Logan
Corin

TheRachel · 11/06/2015 21:30

Lyra, Renn and Naomi
Lyra, Renn and Elsie
Lyra, Renn and Sofia

Are my offerings

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 11/06/2015 21:23

Great names op.
I love Elsa and Torak and I think they go wonderfully with your children's names (which are fab btw)

BellMcEnd · 11/06/2015 21:17

My friend nearly called her baby Eira but turned out to be a DS. It's pronounced A-ra with the A being a hard A and the ra being said like "r for rabbit" the way you would with a small child. Hope that makes sense! If I remember correctly it means snow in Welsh - so may placate your DDs with a bit of a frozen element! Smile

Topaz- Very nice, wanted to be in longlist but sadly DH vetoed
Rowan- Already on our longlist
Pearl- A wee bit girly
Willow- Very beautiful, longlist!
Eira- ?
Juniper- On longlist
Indigo- Same as Topaz
Linnet- Unusual but with charm! Longlist
-Thanks again! So excited!

If I ever had a 4th boy I'd call him Idris, Remus. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with Mr Elba Wink

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/06/2015 20:42

Ellis?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/06/2015 20:42

Love Idris. Inigo v nice too.

BellMcEnd · 11/06/2015 20:29

Really like the name Renn. So pretty

Topaz
Rowan
Pearl
Willow
Eira
Juniper
Indigo
Linnet

Tycho
Idris
Inigo

Congratulations!

wherewouldibe · 11/06/2015 20:13

My friend has an Elsa (before frozen hit the screens) and I too love it. Funnily enough when I read your post I thought how well Elsa fitted before you quickly threw in 'it would mot happen because of frozen'. In a few years Frozen will have died down so don't let that be your decider. I love your current names by the way - gorgeous. For a boy I also think Bear is amazing I also like Blaize.

Quinoa- Had been suspecting for quite a long time actually (around a month) and I think might have even been there before then, the doctor thinks there may be more than one as bump is quite big. As for Thor, wow gave DH a great laugh (Thor, avengers, X-men fan)

QuinoaLenghi · 11/06/2015 20:07

Falcon- if you only found out you were expecting one a half weeks ago then no scan is going to show much, let alone gender...
