DH and I are TTC DC2 (not right now - I'm not that good A multitasker Wink).

Just day(evening?)dreaming and thinking of potential names for the hypothetical DC2. Any ideas?

What do people think of Margaret (Maggie)? Does it go with Emma or not really?

I like that Emma has a literary connection as well, which is partly why we chose it. Would it be weird to choose another literary name to go with it?

Weirdly, I've gone off James a bit, though we would have called dd James, had she been a boy.

I think my favourites of the suggestions are Rachel or Reuben.

Not Anna as sounds so similar to Emma. My first thought was James.

The Emma I know has a sister called Megan.

My best friend's name is Emma, and her brothers are Thomas and James.

Thanks all!

That's so funny bornto, she was very nearly Amy and would have been James if she'd been a boy!

Really like Anna, Max, Kate, Rachel and William too.

Emma is a lovely name... what about Amy or Anna? for a boy, maybe James or Jack...
