Princess95 · 12/08/2017 20:13

DH and I can't decide on a name for our baby due in a few weeks, we dont know what we're having so makes it even more difficult having to decide on 2 names. Just looking for opinions, suggestions and which of our names people prefer!
Girls names -
Matilda, Lola, Delilah, Keira, Aria, Olivia

Boys names-
Harley, Jed ( or Jedd?!), Harry, Rory ..
Please help us decide! Xx

Rory or Delilah

I know an Everleigh (spelt differently than usual). It's a pretty name.

I adore the name Aria. Probably because of PLL.

I like the name Jedd out of the boys.

Do you prefer the spelling Everleigh or Everlee?

Matilda - like
Lola - like
Delilah - ok
Keira - ok
Aria - love
Olivia - love but too popular
Everlee - ok but would prefer Everlie or Everleigh spellings

Harley - my nephew's name - love it
Jed/Jedd - not sure about this one but definitely only needs one d
Harry - really like it but too popular
Rory - love
Darcy - nice for a girl but not for a boy

So my choices would be Aria or Rory 😊

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/08/2017 12:16

I've only seen the spelling Everly, but I like it.

Matilda and Harry

ShmooBooMoo · 12/08/2017 22:15

Sorry, don't like any of the girls' names.

Orla or Nina for a girl?

I do like Harry for a boy. My personal fave boys' name is Nathan.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/08/2017 22:03

Matilda and Rory are both lovely.
Suggestions ;
Alisa
Alanna
Keziah

Daniel (Danny)
James (Jamie)

twinklestar2 · 12/08/2017 21:54

BuzzKillington · 12/08/2017 21:41

Darcy is just mimsy - don't do it.

Discobabe98 · 12/08/2017 21:39

I like Lola and Delilah, and Harley and Rory. Also like Darcy for a boy, how about Darby?

Sophronia · 12/08/2017 21:35

Matilda or Delilah, and Harry or Rory.

RiverTam · 12/08/2017 21:02

Keira
Rory

17caterpillars1mouse · 12/08/2017 21:00

Matilda - I like Matilda but they are absolutely everywhere around here
Lola - dislike
Delilah - gorgeous and unusual. My favourite of your choices
Keira - I like it
Aria - I find it a bit meh
Olivia - pretty

Harley - strongly dislike
Jed ( or Jedd?!) - Jed is ok. Jedd is not
Harry - I find it a bit boring
Rory - nice but I prefer as a nn for Gregory

Blossomdeary · 12/08/2017 20:38

Not Delilah - all I can hear is Tome Jones hollering in my ear!

stitchglitched · 12/08/2017 20:34

Love Rory and Keira.

lazycrazyhazy · 12/08/2017 20:34

Matilda or Rory get my vote. I do know a nice Jed but he's really Gerrard.

strawberrypenguin · 12/08/2017 20:34

Lola or Matilda and Jed or Harry

early30smum · 12/08/2017 20:32

Love all the girls names except Darcy. My favourite is Matilda. Definitely Harry or Rory for a boy.

Viviennemary · 12/08/2017 20:25

Olivia is certainly the best of the girls names and Rory the best of the boys. Darcy is beyond awful.

Pollyann12 · 12/08/2017 20:22

Out of* the girls

Pollyann12 · 12/08/2017 20:22

I only like matilda and delilah utility of the girls and none of the boys. Sorry

TheUpsideDown · 12/08/2017 20:18

I see you prefer girls names that end with an "ah" sound, and boys names that end with an "ee" sound

I like Olivia best from your girls names. I like Harry the best from your boys names

None are names I'd personally choose
