I keep being told my name choices are silly

Not keen on Harvie and Maxie or Jordan, but the rest are fine.

Tell your mum you are thinking of Torquil or Atticus if it's a boy, and then she'll be quite happy when you announce he's called Lukas.

Saying that, with a Scandi DP, what about a proper Scandi name? There are bound to be some lovely ones.

Love Hazel and Aurora
Hate Harvie and Maxie.. Chavvy imo

From the op I thought the names would be very "crazy" but don't think they are.
Lol at the "issues" with the name Lukas. Both spellings are totally acceptable.

I quite like Isambard.

We told people our names would be:

Chlamydia
Rosacea
Pheremona

Agamemnon
Archimedes
Isambard

Got some very funny looks.

Trouble is, with ANY name, you could suddenly have an awful reality star with the same name pop up and become famous after your DC has been named. Nothing to be done about that.

Yeo happened to DD - definitely keep quiet - say your still thinking about it!!

It is a responsibility but kids do Greco into their names!

Don't forget about the aurora borealis aka northern lights. It's not just about Disney princesses (or horses???? )

Aurora is silly too IMO: disney princess or horse name!

Loads of fab scandi names to look at since your DP is scandi.

I think Jordan is a nice name. KP might be long forgotten by the time your LO grows up and the name is not as widely used as it once was, but not too unusual either, so quite a good balance, I think.

with Imogen Hassall

What a perfect surname for a porn star

Re Jordan - I was going to be called Imogen but my dad didn't like the association with Imogen Hassall* who was a soft porn type starlet in the 70s. 12 years later I shared the same name as the most famous page 3 girl of the 80s. Unfortunately no-one has a crystal ball.

I love the name Jordan and its a shame it's declined in popularity because of KP. I like all your girls names apart from Maxie but because of the maxi pad and a horrid Maxine I went to school with. Maxie is a Glenn Close film as well i think.

I can't believe people have an issue with the perfectly normal k spelling of Lukas.

*who? Exactly

Aurora is sleeping Beauty's name bit of trivia for you☺

Aurora - Rori for short sounds lovely!

I would just suggest that normal spelling for names are helpful (I am someone who has an 'ie' where I should have a 'y', and it's been a pain in the arse), but ultimately whatever name you choose, people will adjust. Don't compromise to keep other people happy!

I've only ever come across one Aurora ( called Rori,) and immediately thought it was so sweet and unusual. Not sure who gets the hardest time girls or boys, when it comes to names. Depends on the name I guess and how much diversity there is where you live, when it comes to the more unusual ones perhaps.

I like all the boys names - especially Leo.

Hazel is lovely and timeless, quite like Aurora (nn Rori - sounds cute)
Maxi - all I think of is maxi as in large. Maxine is better imo.
Jordan (not keen)
Harvie (not keen, but like Harvey for a boy.)

None of them are silly. People are very rude.

Aurora Jane and Jordan Emily are darling!

Is Harvey really that popular? I've never come across a single one.

Spelling Harvey differently for a girl does not make it a girls name. I know a girl with a traditionally male name with a trendy spelling who just gets a lot of What? Sorry? HARVIE???? And she's in her 20's.

No to Jordan, for reasons stated.

I don't like it, personally, when people give their kid a name that is of itself a nickname instead of giving them the proper name and then having them be known by shortening, it smacks of not having understood it isn't an actual name. Maxie would be fine if her actual name is Maxine.

Hazel is nice and Lukas, k or no k

Harvey and Finn are nice names but unfortunately aren't so much "common" ie chavvy as have hit a saturation point were there will be at least one in your kids year and every other year at the school, if not several

I'm with SpeakNoWords
We've got names set aside for baby but have told no-one as we don't care what people think and don't want anyone jumping on us.
Go with what you both love :-)

Not keen on unisex names like Harvie or Jordan - others are ok.

It's quite rude of people to say they're silly. I think the best thing to do would be to keep quiet and then just announce the name when the baby is born.

Who cares anyway? It's your baby, not your mother or MiL's. They chose their kids' names so just choose what you like

Given Name JORDAN

(You could spell it JORDYN or JORDANNE if you want to be different to Katie P)

GENDER: Masculine & Feminine
USAGE: English, Macedonian
OTHER SCRIPTS: Јордан (Macedonian)
PRONOUNCED: JAWR-dən (English) [key]
Meaning & History
From the name of the river which flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel. The river's name in Hebrew is יַרְדֵן (Yarden), and it is derived from יָרַד (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". In the New Testament John the Baptist baptizes Jesus Christ in its waters, and it was adopted as a personal name in Europe after crusaders brought water back from the river to baptize their children. There may have been some influence from the Germanic name JORDANES, notably borne by a 6th-century Gothic historian.
This name died out after the Middle Ages, but was revived in the 19th century. In America and other countries it became fairly popular in the second half of the 20th century. A famous bearer of the surname is former basketball star Michael Jordan (1963-).Expand Name Links
