If we have a boy, we are firmly decided on Zachary Christopher (Zack for short).

For a girl, we are definite on middle name (Rose) but it's between these:

Megan Rose
Amelia Rose
Lauren Rose
Robyn Rose
Isabella Rose

I also really like Eloise (though wouldn't go with Rose) but OH won't as he once snogged a girl called Eloise (doesn't bother me).

Concerned re Megan also - both of us have loved Megan independently of one another for years, but now with Meghan Markle, expecting an influx of Megan's.

I don't actually know why I'm asking as only 5 weeks, had a MMC last time at 9.5 weeks and so not even certain we will get there. But I do like thinking about names!

Robyn is my absolute least favourite. I find it really drab and the diminutive Rob is not nice.

twotired · 20/01/2018 13:01

I like Robyn

MammieBear · 20/01/2018 13:00

Or there's Eloisia or Elodie. Names with a similar vibe are:
Cleodie
Louisa
Leonie

Megan Rose or Amelia Rose

MammieBear · 20/01/2018 12:55

You could go Eloisa? Out of the three your OH likes pick Megan.

Robyn Rose

Robyn for me. It’s a lovely name

AnyaMoondial · 20/01/2018 12:50

Lauren is my favourite. They're all good though.

I think go with Megan if you both love it, it goes well with Rose and is a bit more unusual than your other choices.

I don't think Meghan Markle will neccesarily bring an influx of Meghans. I think celebrity baby names tend to create trends rather than names of celebrities themselves iyswim

I liked Bronwyn and Evelyn too (and my great grandmother's name was Evelyn) but OH isn't keen on those either! Think he likes Megan, Amelia and Isabella.

I like Heloise but OH's sister has a really good friend called Heloise (who is a bit weird) and so don't think OH will go for it.

All lovely names, have you thought of Heloise its close to Eloise?

HuskyMcClusky · 20/01/2018 12:28

Amelia or Isabella.

I don’t like the other three.

Faintlinesquints · 20/01/2018 12:27

Never thought about Meghan Markle bringing an influx of Megan's, but my dd is the only one in her year and only 2 in her school at the moment. There is a lot of Lauren's and Amelia's.

Faintlinesquints · 20/01/2018 12:26

Megan (although I'm biased!)
Also think Isabella is beautiful.
