I really dislike both Stephanie & Georgina, think we just have very different tastes. Not looking for anything traditional

Carmen is my fave for a girl but DH doesn't like it. Freya or Josie are strong contenders

I actually love the name Hunter for a boy but I think DH might chicken out. And my dd doesn't like it

I like Mieke a lot and I also like Carmen from your new list. Then I like Hunter and Sebastian, but I think Hunter might be more of a controversial choice. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Also, I think I might know your mum!!

Blondie83 · 12/01/2018 11:30

I like Nina Persephone and Frederick Julien!

SwinginFromTheChandelier · 11/01/2018 21:59

Mieke- I taught a Mika once.

Leon

Love Persephone and Max - my top names!

FizzyGreenWater · 11/01/2018 19:39

Congratulations on your pregnancy, how lovely 🌹

Heath for a boy? Hugo?

I like Mieke Josephine (Josie) and Sebastien of your names so far.

What lovely news Grumpy, many congratulations. 💐

MrsTiggyWinkle3 · 11/01/2018 16:04

Just read the whole thread.

Congratulations on your pregnancy OPFlowers

MrsTiggyWinkle3 · 11/01/2018 16:03

Girl-
Nina, but I don't like your middle names. Persephone is awful and Josephin looks very masculine.

Boy-
Leon Sebastien or Leon Julien.
Finbar is awful.

Lord that’ll teach me not to read the whole thread... Congratulations on your pregnancy x

CauliflowerBalti · 11/01/2018 13:37

Love all the names and their diminutives.

If I were you I’d go Mieke, because you legitimately can. I couldn’t claim Dutch heritage and use it...

AnyaMoondial · 11/01/2018 13:32

That is such wonderful news! Congratulations.

So sorry to hear that, squirrel. It's heartbreaking to lose a baby. Xx

KoalaDownUnder · 13/05/2017 12:46

Oh no.

I'm so very sorry. FlowersSad
