Pregnant with dc3. Have 2 ds one with a very uncommon classic and underused name and the other with a fairly popular name (not sure why I told you that. Probably very irrelevant!)

Anyway. I have a short(ish) list and would like to gauge opinion. be as scathing as you like I can handle itWink. Any name suggestions are much appreciated.

Boys
Brodie
Adair
Rex
Kit
Bruce
Gus
Jude

Girls
Anna
Indigo
Estelle
Elizabeth

As you can see I don't have a type a such and feel all over the place!

Gus is my favourite of your boys' names, but would personally go with a full name like Augustus and just use Gus.

Of your girls' names I like Elizabeth best - a good, classic name with lots of lovely nicknames (Eliza and Betty being my favourites).

Let's hope it's a girl... Anna is the only possible name on your list.

Love Jude and Kit
Love Anna. Like Elizabeth but prefer Eliza or Bethany.

Brodie or Jude. Rex makes me assume dog.
I love Anna. Don't like Indigo - it's like calling your child Yellow.

RomiiRoo · 09/09/2015 22:08

I like Brodie on the boys list and Estelle on the girl one

AMonsterInParis · 09/09/2015 22:04

Your boys list sound like it could be a list of names for a Labrador, but I do love your girls list. Not keen on Indigo, but love, love Estelle.

But then, you would probably think my kids names are boring, so don't listen to me!! [Grin] The fact that we all like different names is what makes it interesting!

Lunastarfish · 09/09/2015 21:59

I actually like all of your boys names(quite rare). I'd go for Kit (Christopher nn kit)

Out of girls I only like Estelle but I love that name. Was on my list for my dd

Devora · 09/09/2015 21:59

Anna and Jude

RosyRedCheeks · 09/09/2015 21:56

I like Kit from the boy list and Anna and Elizabeth from the girls. Although I'd not use either of the girls names but go for something like Bess instead.
How about Ned, Juno, Maxwell, Nell?

RiverTam · 09/09/2015 21:47

Bruce and Estelle. I do think Indigo is a bit wanky, sorry!

Sophronia · 09/09/2015 21:44

I like Adair and Kit, but I do prefer Kit as a nn for Christopher.

Estelle is pretty for a girl.

KaraokeQueenOfTheNorth · 09/09/2015 21:43

I like Kit from your boys list, not keen on the others, sorry. Though I would see Indigo as a boys name personally, and I really like it. For a boy.

I love Estelle. So pretty. Elizabeth and Anna are both great names too. But I would definitely choose Estelle from yur list, lovely lovely name.
