If you were handed a baby (please give a name for each sex) what would you name them? No, you don't get to hand it back Wink they're yours forever, so they need a name Grin

I need inspiration!!!

Clementine or Amos.

Our DC came with the names that their birth mothers had given them. I would have named them Ralph (pronounced Rafe) and Celeste.

Boy - Harrison or Leo
Girl - Maia

Tallulah Mackenzie Gray

Cassius James

Don't ask me why.

Would never be brave enough to use the girl name in RL. Might be able to convince DH to use the boy name.

Mirren or Margaret (Meg) for a girl
Fergus for a boy

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 06/11/2016 09:33

For a boy it would be Hugh or Jasper
For a girl it would be Quinn or Wren

calzone · 06/11/2016 09:33

Theo and Oriele.

Notso · 06/11/2016 09:32

For a girl Frances Ramona Scarlett but can't decide what order.
For a boy Jonah, Jude, Francis, Gregor or Robin.
I think he would be
Jonah Francis Robin but I'd be sad to not use Jude or Gregor.

I love all these names and wish DH did too.

Sophia and William

YvaineStormhold · 06/11/2016 09:29

Freya and Laurence.

Or

Violet and Jude.

slenderisthenight · 06/11/2016 09:29

Linnet and Douglas.

NoBetterName · 06/11/2016 09:27

Gabriel for a boy, Louisa for a girl. We can't use Louisa though as DC have a cousin with the name (good job we had boys). In reserve for a girl would be Laura or Sophia, but the popularity of the latter would put me off.

Jonah and Tabitha
Jude and Matilda
Caleb and Anna
