I need help . 20 weeks and not one potential name. DHs shortlist:

Boy:
Roman
Gabriel
Jonah
Leo

Girl:
Jessica
Emily
Alice
Bridget
Penelope (that's one I suggested earlier but went off it but DH keeping it in the mix)

Lists are in order of most-least favourite . I'm just not sure about any of them I am really struggling to like any name Sad

Gabriel is lovely! Jonah is nice and Leo is fine. Bit ambiguous about Roman. Although the name is nice in itself it is a bit tainted by Roman Polanski to me. This is probably illogical, as there must be many Romans, esp. in mainland Europe. But as it's more unusual here, RP is the first association I think of.

Alice is beautiful and I also love Emily and Jessica. Bridget and Penelope seem a bit more stodgy somehow, although OK.

I love Leo, Alice and Bridget.

Your boy's names are not my cup of tea, but I really like Bridget, Penelope and Jessica from your girl's list.

Jonah and Bridget.
Gabriel is a good name as well.

Gabriel and Alice.

I'd choose Gabriel and Penelope. Gorgeous names. Congratulations Smile

I like Gabriel and Emily. I also like Leo and Jessica although I would use Jess instead of the full name.

Gabriel for a boy. It's strong yet gentle at the same time and not at all over used. Dp wanted this name for a boy (we're TTC) but I can't use it. I would if I couid though without a doubt.
Bridget for a girl. It's gorgeous very classy and elegant plus she can opt to be use Bridie if she so wishes.
CongratulationsFlowers
