Currently expecting DC three. Already have a DD and DS so have used our favourite names for them. We probably won't find out the sex of this baby so have to come up with boys and girls name. There just don't seem to be many we both like. Would love to hear the mumsnet wisdom on the following names.

Girls

Alexandra (nn Lexie)
Jennifer
Rebecca

Boys

Ephraim ( have always loved the name but wasn't brave enough to give it to DS1)
Edward

Any other suggestions much appreciated.

Alexandra.
Edward.

My DC3 is Edward. I can't bear Ephraim, sorry.

Jennifer and Rebecca feel a bit dated to me - nothing wrong with them but there were six of each at school with me, sort of thing. How do you feel about Jenny and Becky?

I like Alexandra but not Lexie.

Sorry, not much help.

I like both your boys names. Rebecca I love, Jennifer is nice, but just nice. Alexandra I'm not fussed on, I don't like Alex or Lexie and I just find Alexandra a bit dull.

My fave for a girl is Jennifer, then Rebecca. Bit meh on Alexandra.

I really like Edward, Ephraim not nearly so much.

I've not heard of Ephraim before. Its nice enough, only downside I can see is potential nn Effie which sounds v girly but of course nns/teasing can never really be predicted.

Edward is lovely, esp with nn Teddy.

For a girl my favourite is Rebecca, then Jennifer.
