First baby due in about 8 weeks and I now have a mental block over names. It's like I've said them too many times and now they don't even sound like names, more like weird noises Confused My husband and I don't agree on many names (his all have a 70s feel about them....) but we do have a small list that we kind of agree on. We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl and our surname is a three syllable name beginning with B. Any honest opinions would be great as both our sets of parents are lovely but we're just getting "it's your baby, please yourselves with the name" etc, etc.

Phoebe
Francesca
Imogen
Juliet
Claudia

Reuben
Felix (DH hates this one!)
James
George
Jude

So what's your first thought when you hear these names? Any help is very appreciated, I feel like I'm going mad......Blush

Gorgeous list of names. V similar to my own choices.

Top for me would be Francesca and Jude

I like all of your girl bunch except Imogen (irrational dislike probably). Francesca is a bit meh (she may well end up Frankie). The name of one of my daughters is in your list!

Boys I'm less keen on - favourite is Felix :) Really don't like James, George/Jude/Reuben are okay - George probably best out of those three.

I like most of them too. Your girls names are all very pretty and I especially like Phoebe, Imogen and Juliet. My favourite of the boys names is James.

I like most of them, lol. I guess my faves would be:

Phoebe
Imogen

and

Felix - I wanted this for DS but OH vetoed it :(
Jude
