I like Margot or Esme from your girl's list.
Michael with nn Mikey for a boy.

I only like Penny (Penelope) from your girls list.

I don't like any of your boys names, I'm afraid.

Margot and Stanley are my favourites. I like Esme too but don't think it sounds right with Ivy.

HairsprayBabe · 14/11/2016 14:17

Margot and Stanley are my faves!
Stanley is so cute, and due a revival!

I have thought about Juno but just don't love it as much as June...

Love the comment about 1940s boxers lol! That made me laugh!

Margot and Mikey are my favourites, but DH not keen at all.

Stanley would have been Ivy's name if she'd been a boy.

How about juno? I prefer it to June.

mummytobeforbabyno1 · 14/11/2016 14:03

Love all the girls names except June (just not to my taste, although I do like May/Mae so it's clearly not because it's a month haha).

We are struggling to agree on girls names so I feel your pain!

Love Stanley as that is our choice baby is a boy.

SorenaJ · 14/11/2016 14:02

June and Stanley. Particularly love June together with Ivy.

I like your girls names except for June. Margot is particularly nice. I would avoid June as paired with Ivy there is a very clear 'old lady chic' theme, which you may wish to avoid.

Your boys names really aren't to my taste, sorry. The first four sound like you're naming a 1940s boxer. Mikey and Ronnie are particularly bad, in my opinion (but it is only an opinion - names are very subjective!). Tom is my favourite as it is timeless and classless. I'd probably go for Thomas on the birth certificate, but I think that Tom is also a perfectly good name on its own.

Congrats on the pregnancy!

They're all very old-fashioned names. And not the old names that are currently enjoying a revival. Just dated

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/11/2016 12:32

Tom for a boy.
Esme is nice for a girl
Other suggestions
Rosa
