Not due until next year but still excitedly thinking about names Smile

So far this is our shortlist, would love opinions please!

GIRLS: Tabitha, Erin, Aria

BOYS: Ethan, Joseph (Joe), Max

P.S. It goes without saying that many people see Tabitha as a cat name but we love it Wink

I know of a baby Aria and tbh I don't like it. I see it as a chavvy name, but that may be just my personal association with it.

I love Erin, DD2 was almost Erin. Don't mind Tabitha.

Love all your boys names. Epecially Max. I think Joe is nice as it doesn't feel overly popular atm, but is a well known name.

...if you want a nickname that is!

Sophronia · 19/11/2015 11:27

Tabitha and Joseph are my favourites.

If the middle name begins with J, you could always call him EJ?

'Eeth' or 'E' is exactly what I was fearing! Haha glad it hasn't been used too much!

Nope, no nicknames for my Ethan. Actually, someone did once try to call him Eeth which was quickly shot down with a wtf face!

Pleases me greatly to be honest because that's really one of the big reasons I picked it.

I call him Blue but that's neither here nor there

Lovely girl choices, esp Tabitha. It's in our list too, but appears to be mentioned quite a lot on here lately, which doesn't concern me too much - just hope it doesn't become too popular :-/

I like Joe too, as a name in its own and Max.

Ooh thanks Gastons! Out of interest, did any nicknames happen naturally for Ethan or does everyone just use his full name?

Joe literally popped into my head this morning so I turned to DH (asleep) and said "are you awake?! do you like Joe?!" haha

Ethan definitely

Not that keen on any of your girls' names. Tabitha at a push.

GastonsChestHair · 19/11/2015 10:53

I love Tabitha.

And Ethan (I am biased though as I have one!)

From an unbiased pov, love Joe/Joey. If we'd had a boy he would have been Joey.
