Which are your favourite from my lists and do you have any to add?

I'd like a name that people on the most part will have heard of but preferably nothing too overused!

Girl:

Beatrice, Edith, Winnie, Mabel, Thora, Gretchen

Boy:

Reggie, Sidney, Emrys, Otto, Bertie, Theo

I like Beatrice and Otto. Beatrice and Theo are quite popular where I live

Edith and Bertie get my vote.
You still have time op, don't rush too much! Better to get it right

Hope it all goes well!

ah don`t worry with our third we came home from hospital without a name. Found it.

All the girls except for Gretchen and only Bertie on the boys.

Good luck and congratulations!!

Exciting times ahead.

I like Beatrice and Thora from the girls' list - I've never come across a Thora in real life. I particularly dislike Winnie, even if it's short for Winifred. And I think Gretchen is awful - sorry. Call her Margarete and Gretchen for a pet name.
Boys' list - I like Theo the most, but only if it's short for Theodore. I'm not keen on the others at all.

Edith is nice as well actually.

Thanks folks, it's good to have some feedback, I'm so worried about 'naming regret' further down the line Xmas Hmm

From your list, Beatrice or Mabel for a girl, Theo for a boy.

You say "Winnie", I think "...the Pooh"!

I really love Gretchen, from the boys list, I like Theo and Otto.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/12/2017 13:45
