Nate and Fern are my favourites.

Quasilulu · 18/07/2015 23:38

Love Fern and Toby. May I suggest Lois and Amos?

quesadillas · 14/07/2015 20:31

I like Toby, Lexi and Fern.

fionadal · 14/07/2015 20:28

Nate is a brilliant name. I like Josh too- good, classic name.

Please no more Tobys! There are so many round these parts!

I don't like Troy I'm afraid

For girls, I've always loved the name Elsa and it hasn't been tarnished for me by the film!

You are amazing having child no. 7! Congratulations!

Moodyblue1 · 14/07/2015 16:31

Zach & Fern are lovely

SniffsAndSneezes · 14/07/2015 15:17

What bugs me about most of them is that they're shortened versions of (what I would consider to be) 'actual' names- ie Josh is short for Joshua, Zach for Zachary, Lexi for Alexandra, Tori for Victoria, Nate for Nathan or Nathaniel. But that's always been a pet peeve of mine. The others I'm just not keen on. Sorry!

HerRoyalNotness · 14/07/2015 02:38

Nate and Fern are my favourites from your list

CakeRattleandRoll · 14/07/2015 02:23

I like Toby, Troy or Nate for a boy.
And Elsa or Fern for a girl.

As a mum of a Fearne I am obviously biased but we get compliments on her name all the time. My only negative is that Scottish people struggle to say it properly so ends up Ferrin so bare that in mind if you have an Scottish family like me as it'll drive you crazy!

I know Elsa has the frozen link but we were gonna call our 1st daughter elsa before the movie but we didn't so I just added it to the shortlist

This will be number 7 fridge

WheresTheHoneyMummy · 12/07/2015 20:42

Love Troy - it's top of my boy's name list if ever we have DC5.

reuset · 12/07/2015 20:28

OP said brothers (plural) and sister (singular), but there are only two boys' names and four girls names

Enlighten us, OP (I realise I'm just being nosy about number of children and I'm sleepy today so not quite on the ball)

Fridgedooropen · 12/07/2015 20:18

I thought those were first and middle names, so 3 kids already, this'll be no 4?

Josh or Nate are my boy faves from that list, Fern for a girl.

reuset · 12/07/2015 20:12

Toby and Elsa.

Wow to child number seven! Though thank goodness that wasn't one awfully long, multiple hyphenated name

mayaknew · 12/07/2015 20:08

I like Toby and lexi

thisbabyisgoingtocomeoutatwix · 12/07/2015 20:04

Toby and Fern, love them!! X

firefly78 · 12/07/2015 20:02

you are having your seventh child?????

silverglitterpisser · 12/07/2015 20:00

Nearly all these names r nice n not too common - great shortlist!

Only exception Imo is Lexi. It's huuuuugely popular now, I know of 4 off hand that have been born this year.

My faves r Nate n Eden .

JimmyCorkhill · 12/07/2015 19:55

This is your 7th child? Wowsers!

One of your DC has the same name as mine so you have impeccable taste

I like Toby and Nate best for boys. Zach and Josh are nice but very well used. Don't like Troy but can't figure out why.

For a girl I like Fern the best. Elsa has the Frozen link and Eden seems quite over used/dated. I really like both Lexi and Tori but see them as nicknames, so I would use them but have Alexandra or Victoria on the birth certificate.
