If I didn't have to agree a name with DH I'd call my girl Elsie & my boy Ezra

What about you?

Winifred nn Freddie.

If it was totally up to me (even though we've gone with Winston which I hadn't thought of before and actually love now), I always dreamed my son would be;

Hallam Gabriel Jude or Hallam Gabriel Keir

Literally everyone I've asked has hated Hallam though and said it sounds like Halal so probably a good thing.

DS would have been George or Felix. Girls names we agree on!

Crunchymum · 15/06/2018 16:15

William for a boy or Indiana for a girl.

Both vetoed (relative of DP called William and Indiana was "too out there")

Our DS has a top 10 name and both DD's have old lady names outside of top 100.

Charles (Charlie) - family name my side but DP not keen, well likely compromise and have a Charlotte in there somewhere
Roman, Tristan - love both these names and actually DP doesn't dislike them, but they're not very 'us'
Georgiana - my favourite ever girls name, DP says it's pretentious he has a point
Helena - sooo beautiful but again, DP says pretentious
Corinne - he says it sounds like either green or coffin depending on how you say it 🤔
Nora - DP just hates this one 😂

DownUdderer · 15/06/2018 07:13

Oooh! I’ve seen Griffin twice, that’s ds name :)

I’d like Willow or Talon

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 15/06/2018 07:10

Ned- vetoed because of Game of Thrones
Imogen- "too posh" apparently

Carouselfish · 15/06/2018 00:01

Flora, Faye, Tempest

'No it's butter'
'No, I knew an awful girl called that'
'Just, no.'

Most sad about Faye. Wanted that since I was a little girl myself.

Juno or Aifric for a girl. DH was very much against. I knew I was expecting a girl so only thought about girl names. Not really that gone on any boy's names.

MyNicknameDoesntMeanAthing · 14/06/2018 23:26

Boy: Ezra. Elliott
Girl: Posy. Ellen.

Ragusa · 14/06/2018 23:23

Girl: Anouk
Boy: Gabriel or Soren.

Mountainsoutofmolehills · 14/06/2018 23:18

astrid, atlas, elixir, tracey

igotyoubabe · 14/06/2018 23:04

London - boy
Sailor - Girl

In another life I would definitely!

I wanted Sawyer for a girl. DH wasn't having any of it, so we have a Violet instead.

halfwitpicker · 14/06/2018 21:21

Karl and Avery.

GinIsIn · 14/06/2018 21:18

Fabricwitch · 14/06/2018 20:07

Boys: Tristan

There are lots of other names I like, but these are the ones DH doesn't like

It was just up to me. Miranda and Cordelia (she is a cat). Boy would have been Conrad.
