Currently pregnant with dc2. Nothing is set in stone re names yet, but ATM we are thinking of either Penny / Nellie (Penelope on bc) for a girl, Kit (Christopher on bc) or Peter for a boy.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome! We like classic names, leaning towards those popular in the 80s / 90s. No particular reason for that, they just seem to be the names we like. I'm not generally a fan of anything but the longer / full name on bc, though there are some exceptions.

Other girl names we like are Katie (one of the exceptions^^), Juliet and Niamh. We're sort of stuck for boys except the two I've already mentioned.

Another who really doesn't like Peter.

Kit is lovely. Also like Penny and Nellie.

I like them ALL. Probably leaning more towards Penny and Kit. Beautiful choices OP! Smile

Yes cherry, or 'picket' I suppose...!

I don't imagine they will ever be siblings though, as this is most likely going to be our last baby.

Penny and Kit.

Lovely.

Just had a thought tho ( as we all have shortened names as family names ) be careful of Pip and Kit sounds a little like you could be calling out pick it Confused

I really do love the names tho

MissCherryCakeyBun · 22/06/2017 11:39

Really lovely names, I prefer the Kit option of the 2 boys names. I totally agree on full names on BC

Thanks all!

No worries hobnob, my sister has said the same for years! I know two beautiful Peters which I think has coloured my view Smile.

All nice. I like Penny and Kit best

Choccyhobnob · 22/06/2017 11:35

Definitely Penelope and Kit! Peter is one of my least favourite names in the world ever so sorry about that!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/06/2017 11:27

Pippa or Kit

Decaffstilltastesweird · 22/06/2017 11:25

Grin pippa!

Sorry, should also have said Pippa would be Philippa on the bc.
